We've already covered how some Warner Music musicians are pissed off about Warner Music demanding more money for its music showing up on YouTube, and now it's also causing additional problems for musicians. For example, the band Death Cab for Cutie has YouTube videos of its music on its own website... but not after Warner Music's actions forced them offline.

TaggedFrog tags any file you have with any words you want, so you can selectively tag files to separate projects, keep a track of any MP3s with curse words in them, or whatever quick-search needs you have. As you search, a "cloud" view shows the most-accessed, or most-tagged, keywords, and you can narrow your search by file extension for heavily-used tags. There's a portable, no-install version available at the program page, so even if you only want to try out TaggedFrog for a quick MP3 organizational mission, you're good to go.

Best Buy Co., Inc. is set to bring its electronics recycling program to all of its 1,006 stores on Feb. 15. The program is the latest addition to the initiatives offered by Best Buy called "Greener Together," which provide ways to recycle, reuse or trade-in end-of-life (EOL) electronics. Previously, Best Buy's e-cycling had only been available at 117 test stores.

A $10 recycling fee per unit will be charged for items with screens, such as televisions, laptop computers and monitors (recycling at California stores and any Best Buy-branded products will not incur this fee). Although there is a small charge, recyclers will instantly receive a $10 Best Buy gift card in exchange for the recycling fee.
