A few weeks ago you said that you're are interested in listening to new music that might be suitable for vaulting.
Below are a bunch of links to sources of legal music downloads. A number of them are to organizations I am familiar with including:
- Creative Commons;
- the Association of Music Podcasting;
- Defective by Design
- FreeCulture.org
- Garageband.com
- MagnaTune
- myspace.com
- CDBaby; and
- the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Most of the artists on these sites should be independent of the RIAA record labels and look at the Internet as a way to publicize their works, promote their live performances and/or are simply making music because it is fun and they want to share it with the world.
The best opportunities of the future are in The Long Tail.
