Music e-cards have evolved from featuring traditional songs to a variety of genres and even lesser-known music. Some sites offer free cards, while others donate proceeds to charity. However, there are also scams that harvest personal information or transmit viruses, so caution is advised.
E-cards (also spelled as e-cards or e-cards) are fast becoming a popular way to send greetings to others, on major holidays, birthdays, and whenever the mood strikes. A trend happening in the 2000s was to send cards by email with animations on the card and also music. Such music used to include things like traditional birthday or Christmas songs, but now there’s a lot more range to choose from. Music ecards have evolved to feature music that is sure to please a variety of musical tastes.
While early music ecards tended to feature songs that weren’t usually that recognizable, today’s choices of accompanying music are varied. People can find sites that offer tabs with popular modern songs or they can choose from genres like country and western, rhythm and blues, rock, gospel, and many more. The focus of the card could be as much on the chosen music as any images and messages. For example, classic romantic songs might be chosen to accompany Valentine’s Day cards or anniversaries.
There are some very special music cards that feature different kinds of music that aren’t particularly well known. For example, a music ecard might contain samples of Native American music. Alternatively, people choosing cards could submit other tunes from around the world inspired by regional musical traditions.
Some music ecards cost a small amount of money to send, and depending on the company making the card, the money may be donated. For example, some companies offer orchestral music from well-known orchestras and donate proceeds from card sales to charities that benefit local children’s music programs. Other sites simply make a profit from selling ecards, and there are many sites that offer free music ecards.
Experienced programmers can use a variety of programs to create their own music for sending as part of music ecards. Others attach music files from popular artists. It should be noted that file sharing may be illegal and violate the copyright status of the music. Reputable sites that offer free e-cards tend to only use those songs that don’t infringe copyright or give a portion of the card’s sales to the artist.
There are some precautions regarding the use of ecard sites. Since the early 2000s, ecards have occasionally been scams, used to harvest personal information or transmit viruses. People receiving an ecard would have to type in the company’s website instead of clicking links, which could take the user to a fake website. Another warning from fraud organizations is to make sure you don’t give out personal information like your address or phone number when you receive a card. Most card companies do not require people to register to view a card sent to them.
