Freegal (free & legal) is a Sony music database that can be accessed through a membership to a local library. Three song downloads per weeks are allowed (maybe it should be called Frugal), so if you want to build a collection that will take some time. Good for getting the occasional song, though.
Dr. Rik Pfenninger at the Plymouth State University has put a series of software tutorials online. There is a set for Logic 9, Pro Tools 10, Sibelius 7, Finale 2011, Garageband, and BIAB.
I've recently been miking a grand piano again after a rather long period of stereo miking inactivity. Here is one of my preferred techniques - MS, using a large diaphragm condenser for the sides and a small diaphragm condenser for the mid. The big advantage of MS is that the stereo width can be adjusted after the recording occurs. Quizlet is a website where people upload flashcard type quizzes on many topics. Worth a look. You can also save any set as a pdf.
If, like me you frequently need to change monitor settings (eg mirroring) because you also use an external display or data projector then finding that Apple have removed the ability to show monitor settings in the menu bar is annoying. Thankfully, there is a 3rd party utility available named "Display Menu" It's free and can be downloaded from the Mac Apple Store.
