Bon Jovi has been in the business of rock long before there was a band with his name on it. John Bon Jovi began his musical career working in a studio and caught on fast. The original name of the front man is John Francis Bongiovi, Jr. The band name Bon Jovi in Latin means Good Jupiter. In Greek mythology, Jupiter is also known as Zeus, and in Roman mythology, Jupiter is considered the King of the Gods. So, the hidden meaning in their band name is Good God. One of my all time favorite tunes by them is Lay Your Hands on Me. Even so, it still took me nearly 9 years of listening to it to figure out what he was saying, and the rather obvious context behind their lyrics.

The top YouTube to mp3 Downloaders:

 

 

ytmp3 is great for decoding mp3 files from any YouTube video. - Website

 

Online Video Convertor is also great for decoding mp3 files from any YouTube video. - Website

 




The top 5 pieces of mp3 tagging software I used to add extra dimensions to all of the mp3 files in my library:

 

 

mp3Tag is great for viewing and writing the meta data that is embedded in all our mp3 files. - Website our mirror

 

Lyrics Finder is very good at getting bulk lyrics and auto embedding them in the unsynced lyrics tag of your entire mp3 playlist so you can pick up on them and view them with a number of plugins for your favorite media players. - Website our mirror

 

MusicBrainz Picard helps find the album name and album artwork associated with your mp3 files, individually or in bulk. - Website our mirror

 

MiniLyrics is one of two decent plugins I have found that works with many popular media players. Install it, and it will find the lyrics in your mp3tag, and display them once you have run all your files through the Lyrics Finder first. - Website our mirror

 

Cover Version for iTunes is a really cool lyric visualization tool. Just drop the plug-ins folder into the iTunes program directory, and activate it after restarting iTunes via the visualizer menu to see the album art, and the lyrics for each of our mp3 files at home. - Website our mirror
