SpiralFrog to offer free music downloads

New website to offer free and legal music downloads.

The new website dubbed, SpiralFrog, which was supposed to be up and running this month but has now been put back to the end of January, will give MP3 owners the freedom of downloading audio and video content for free and more importantly legally.

The website will be able to give customers free music downloads by placing targeted advertisements on the website and while the customer is downloading the content.

However the service will have some drawbacks with the songs not being able to be put on CDs and the customer having to sign-in to the website at least once every month, not to mention that customers with iPods will not be able to play the songs on their iPod due to the songs being locked in Windows Media Audio format.

With more than 20 billion illegal music downloads in 2005 SpiralFrog may be a success story waiting to happen or it may crash and burn if too many restrictions are placed on the customer and the music. One thing is for sure people will be able to sleep calmly knowing that they have an alternative choice to downloading music illegally.
