free music archive


there is a new place for music fans to legally download free music without any hassle from the man. it turns out that new york state has a philanthropic music fund that originated from payola fines paid out by big labels to the state. they've taken some of that money and created free music archive. every piece of music is free and has been cleared by people who know copyright law.

fma is in its beta form now, but you can already sign up to create shareable compilations or just download away now without logging in to anything. currently the site appears to be curated by two of the best free form radio stations in the country - wfmu and kexp - so the selection is already pretty rad, i must say.

keep buying music, though. okay?
