At last, someone is willing to push the boundaries of the music industry business model in order to embrace download technology! I said in another post somewhere on here that something needs to be done to bring downloaders and music labels together - perhaps this will see the start of the shift?

*edit* The idiot who posted this put it in the wrong forum, so I've moved it to General Discussion. Muppet! heh

It'll be interesting to see what happens when this arrives.
Personally, i'm still not much of a downloader unless it's something i can't get by any other means. I don't think free downloads will change that - it'll just mean i end up with stuff i don't really want cos it's free!
And if i have to sit through 9 hours of ads before i doubt i'll bother!
I hope it works for the sake of the record companies, think they're onto something here.

If it's free, is it going to be any good?
It's free, anything free is always good in my book......Besides Paul Rodgers has a good voice!

I suppose it'll appeal to those who actually enjoy getting
junk mail through their letter box....

Its just adverts on the site - in exchange for legal free music. Kind of like HappyHardcorecom radio, only probably more ads
