Apparently there is a new record label that takes the Google ad method into the music world.
"RCRD LBL is a network of ad-supported online record labels and blogs offering completely free music streams and downloads from emerging and established artists."
They stream and allow you to download music (as long as it is for non-commercial use). All the music is published under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial License. More explanation on what this means for personal use can be found on their FAQ page. The bands make money from the advertising sales on the site. One big problem I've found with the site is finding a list of all the artists they have. There is a link that says jump to an artist, but it only shows a few at a time. There are a couple of bigger names on the site like Mos Def and Bloc Party. I'm curious to see if it goes anywhere, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in this one marketing scheme. Thoughts?
