Free All Music Set to Release
Just learned from Urvaksh Karkaria at the Atlanta Business Chronicle that there's a new ad-supported music download service about to launch called, Free All Music, which just raised $1 million in seed capital. According to Urvaksh's article, before a user downloads a song, he/she views/listens to a 15 to 20 second ad, and then additional advertising during the download process. Sounds similar to the now defunct SpiralFrog which I wrote about 2 years ago. Hopefully they'll have far better success, as I'm excited to see the growth of music tech startups in Atlanta, including: Amplified, Band Metrics, BeatTweet, Khu.sh (laDiDa), Maestro, Neurotic Media, and Zooz Mobile.
