Discover and Download Free Music Albums with The Spiral
Written by Ernesto on February 27, 2007Jamendo just added a great new feature to their site that makes it easier to discover new music from their collection of over 2500 free music albums. It’s like a remix of the Digg Swarm and Pandora, incuding free BitTorrent downloads.
The Spiral is an easy way to browse through the ever growing collection of free albums on Jamendo. You can listen to the albums by clicking on the cover image, and download the ones you like instantly. You have the option to star albums you like, hide the ones that you don’t want to hear again, and skip all albums you want to check out later. When you are logged in, it will also remember your personal taste, and will recommend albums accordingly.
All albums are Creative Commons licensed, and available in MP3 (~200Kbps) and Ogg Vorbis (300Kbps) format. They can be downloaded with your favorite BitTorrent client and Emule.
Jamendo has more great features. You can share albums you like on your blog, write a review, or make a donation to support your favorite artist. Some artists already promised to include a list of supporters in the booklet of their forthcoming albums. Both artists and music fans will profit from this model. Everybody wins, except for the big record companies of course.

They made it easy:) I love that site. I have about 10 albums from there.
HOLY CRAP this is awsome i realy like this stuff i’m downloading about 3 albums right now.
Thats such a cool website.
If that site becomes more mainstream;
Commercial artists are gona realise thats the way forward :D
Byebye RIAA lawsuits,
They wont have anyone to represent
BUT BEWARE… when you give wrong reviews…. your account will banned without notice first… and also to many artists albums is not “Free-to-Share: distribute” like you and I always thinking that ‘this is very @00@ cool’. And also about their license, although they putted their work on CC License,… still it to confusing for other who interest to distribute and make some a couple money and later will make donation to the artist…. If you do not believe me, then please go to their forum. However,… all of those things still need to be clarified first…. And why I can talk about this…. he-he-he, because before I was their account and I am very disappointed to Jamendo about how they control those all things inside Jamendo…. And my suggestion for you all is,… is better to make all things clear at front before get disappoint later. And if you think my mouth is to big here,.. then please go there and prove it by yourself,.. he-he-he…
PS: sorry if my English is F**ing bad here… he-he-he~~~
sonds great
There is like no real mixtapes and stuff just a bunch of rock and emo. Put in some like R&B and Rap.
