Hey,
I stumbled over two services that I though would mix quite well with Media Center.
The first service is
Magnatune. It was the first “revolutionary” label. The split the income with the artist, and they were the first to use the now famouspci Radiohead model. When I first head the news about Radiohead I actually though they had signed with Magnatunes. Their API is located
hereAnother great site is
Jamendo. They have lots of great music too. It is a great site. It is a similar model, although it is closer to myspace (at least the way myspace ought to be). I.e. a music network, or platform, in which one can download music and pay if one likes the music. This site is closely integrated into the Creative Commons movement. Their API should be located
here, but when I try to fetch it, I am returned to the front page. One can get music as mp3 or ogg vorbis via p2p (bittorrent and emule).
If think these services mixes well with other services such as CD Baby, which can also be accessed from within MC. One can find great music both places, and both sites are certainly “nicer” than myspace.
I seem to recall that the founder of Magnatune is featured in the movie
Good Copy, Bad Copy — an extraordinary documentary! He might not be, though. . .
Cheers,
Rasmus
Edit: Edited the title.
