His new pet project is to be a part of redefining how music is distributed by talented musicians on the net. His goal is nothing less than the change the music industry.

Great Samples
Study these great examples
- Tim Knox Podcasts
- Tim Knox, Serial Entrepreneur, Speaker, Columnist, Author, Consultant, Small Business Expert provides great content and an excellent format.
- TalkShoe voice talk shows and discussion groups
- TalkShoe is the brain child of Dave Nelsen, who spent his career in the telecommunications and software industries. Dave observed that there is no good way to find, connect with, and talk to interesting and like-minded people wherever they are.
Sure, there are chat rooms, but they often deteriorate into useless jabberwocky. There's IM, but it's just text. Then there's the phone, but finding new people to talk to is not practical.
Thus was born TalkShoe - a new way to talk with interesting people with similar interests around the world. - Great Tim Knox article
- What The Heck Is A Podcast And What Can It Do For Your Business?

Text to Speech Tools
- ReadSpeaker Text-to-Speech
- ReadSpeaker is an interesting free tool that provides text to speech capabilities for a web page. While certainly not applicable for all situations it's a facinating technology that's come a LONG way in recent years.
