*FREE BEATS PRESENTS: FREEALLMUSIC.COM

I recently read a review of yet another free (paid for) music download service. This site may not be as innovative as Guvera.com, but it still represents a solid push towards a free music market… via gigaom.com…

“Guvera has drawn comparisons to Atlanta-based FreeAllMusic’s service, which is still in private beta. That site offers an MP3 in exchange for watching a video ad of your choice. I’ve enjoyed FreeAllMusic for a couple of months, especially because I know the artists whose music I download are compensated, although I’ve felt little engagement with most of the ads I’ve seen. In fact I’ve already figured out which one of the available ads is the shortest, and I’ve chosen it repeatedly even though it’s hawking a product I’ll never buy. If advertisers are really paying $2 for each video ad impression they serve up as I fill out my jazz collection, in my case, they’re overpaying.”  -Paul Bonanos (gigaom.com)

The innovators in the industry are learning quickly where to find money in the current state of the music biz. However, it is going to take the adoption of these new business models by larger decision makers to truly make history…
