Before you become a subscriber to one of the new music streaming web sites, have a gander at this list of free music from Amazon, and the albums below. Just beware that a “downloader” is required. Yes, it’s a proprietary file format, and so it’s necessary, and It’s not that hard, really. But still, there’s something about needing a “downloader” to download things that doesn’t quite make sense, intellectually. I thought a computer was a perfectly good enough downloader.
