free music the legal way


"Over 1,000,000 songs and videos to play on your computer and mp3 player"

there is finally a way (for all you who didn't already know) to get free legal music downloaded to your computer or mp3 player. spiralfrog allows its users to download as many songs as they want for free, paying for them with advertisements. they have a decent collection of both videos and audio, so almost any song you can think of is represented on their site. however, all their songs are downloaded and saved as encrypted .wma's, which simply means that they do not work on iPods. Also, they completely leave out any "download entire album now" feature, meaning that if you want to download an album, you have to sit there and click through a few pages and make sure everything is working before you can leave. This site has the makings of the next youtube-grade craze, but with these bugs (I happen to own an iPod) I can only fairly give it a
6/10
