More Free Music: FineTune Desktop, with screenshots
I recently heard about a really great online application that lets you listen to great music for free (legally) online, called FineTune. Here is what the webapp looks like:
From FineTune, you can search artists, tags, and radio-streams created by users. Then, you get to listen to them. It places limitations on how much music by one person you can listen to at once, but it plays other music it thinks you might be interested in (so far, it has been just right for me, although when I was listening to the Benny Goodman stream, it started playing So What, by Miles Davis, a modal tune).
FineTune is awesome, but what is awesome-er is the Adobe Apollo-based desktop app that they have created, FineTune Desktop:
It requires the Apollo runtime, which can be downloaded here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/apolloruntime.html. The download for the actual application (a .air file, no exe) is here: http://www.finetune.com/desktop/finetunedesktop.air. Only open the latter link after having downloaded and installed the Apollo Runtime (a painless process).
Then, you will be ready to listen to great, free music, from your desktop. One really neat feature it has is that it can grab your iTunes library, and go through the artists, and you can listen to artists work by selecting an artist in your iTunes library.
Have fun with it. One word of warning, though; I find that in the desktop app, the music skips when I am doing a lot of things at once in my computer. Overally, a really great app, though.
