Magnatune rocks!

// November 19th, 2008 // Mark's stuff

I’ve written about Magnatune a couple of times in the past, but since they have a new subscription model and lots of people still haven’t heard about them, I thought I’d post about them again.? Magnatune is an independent music label that tries not to be evil by giving the artists they sign 50% of all revenue from their music.? You can download music in a variety of formats (from MP3 all the way up to perfect quality FLAC and WAV files) that is all DRM free and pay whatever you want for an album (above a minimum price).? They even encourage you to share your music with your friends to promote the bands and the site. ? Now they have a monthly subscription you can get for $10/month that lets you download as much music as you want.? The full write-up is here.? The only hitch is that since this is an independent music label, you won’t find the big name artists you hear on the radio.? There is still a TON of good music, though, in a wide variety of genres.? Of course, you can listen to all music in its entirety off the website before you buy anything.
