Sumana, a support rep for Salon Premium, "just realized how much DRM-free music Salon Premium members buy for $35."
Not only do they get something like twenty-five songs (MP3s) in the most recent Salon Music Mix and archived December 2004 mix, but they can download a new song (MP3) every weekday with Audiofile (which has an RSS feed), and there's a bunch of archived stuff too, some in MP3 format.
True, some of these free downloads are not exclusive to Salon, but Salon selects good tunes to give its members. I don't have the time to scan a billion free song sites and MP3 blogs; Salon performs the filtering.
Of course, as nice as having good songs selected for you and made available, it's also nice when you can choose which music you get with your sub…
(Thanks, Sumana!)
