Free music, legally? Sounds too good to be true. I wonder what the advertising will be? Intrusive advertising/spyware probably.

DRM, listen like 2-3 times then you have to pay

No, it's just a lot of advertising. I can get free music with Ruckus through RIT, the only catch is DRM, and you have to download it with their player. After that you can play it in WMP.

Check out last.fm. They just went to a bunch of free downloading services that pay artists everytime you play the song.

Which is.. you know. How it should work.

^ Aye. And it makes you sad to see how many times you listened to a track (e.g. You Know My Name by Chris Cornell.)

Yeah, but I'm more likely to look at it if its something I can embed into a webpage. I don't scroll through my library looking at play counts.

Or you could always just use Seeqpod.

If I just "find" the track on a website there floating around I'm fairly sure that's not illegal.

:P
nope.

I don't see how this program can be for real unless it's bundled with spyware.

"QTRAX/QTRAXMAX is a free, Gnutella-based file sharing software"

So basically it's another Limewire.
