As everybody after Tom below found out, you have to be quick if you want to grab a free iTunes song code posted here. (See previous post).  You can try refreshing the page every 5 minutes, however that probably won’t get you very far. That’s because even though I am doing my best by drinking waaay too much Coke Zero, (and my waistline can certainly attest to that), it appears that they just aren’t handing out those free song codes as often as they used to, even though somebody apparently wins every 10 seconds. Yeah Right!

You could subscribe to the RSS feed, but that still requires you to actually check your RSS reader for new posts.

The best way to make sure you don’t miss out the next time I post a free iTunes song code is to download and install the JPopMp3s toolbar.

JPopMp3s toolbar

As you can see from the screen shot to the left, the toolbar sits unobtrusively in your browser and is completely customizable. Not only does it have an RSS notifier which alerts you when a new post is made to this blog (so you will know instantly when a new song code is posted), but it also notifies you when new posts have been made at a couple of other great Jpop related blogs that I have chosen, namely, Pink Wota and Unchained. When a new post appears a small notifier star appears on the RSS icon in the toolbar. When you click it the list of blogs drops down which displays the titles of recent posts when you hover over it. Very convenient and certainly saves you from cruising the blogs daily for new material. I can also add more blogs to the RSS feed so if you would like to see a particularly good Jpop related blog, please let me know and I will add it to the feed.

Another great feature which I can honestly say probably gets used the most of all things on my computer is the email notifier which you can also see in the screen shot. This is great because you can setup any number of pop email accounts (Yahoo mail, Gmail, Hotmail etc) and get notified by the little star the minute a new email comes in, to any of your email accounts. You can also set it up to make a little pinging noise as well if you like. Once a new mail notification lights up, click the email icon and a list of your email accounts drops down, showing which email account has the new message as well as showing how many unread emails in each account.
