Music Index

I looked at the ebsco product, Music index, today. It is exactly what it says it is, and index for all things music. I did a search on Lady Gaga :) and returned almost 1000 sources. The database is a collection of magazine articles, interviews, books, and occasionally a music clip. There are all the usual tools that ebsco products provide, including a listening option where users can have the articles read to them in different accents and reading speeds, which I thought was entertaining at least. I found some really interesting articles on this database. I found some reviews of songs by different artists and critiques as well as some interviews with the artist where they interpret the meaning of their songs...I enjoyed that. All in all this is a good database. I think ebsco products are not very appealing to the eye, which this is not, but it is a great source of information....just not too exciting.
