SpiralFrog - free music downloads
I think SpiralFrog is a great idea. i found it earlier this year at beta stage. i rediscovered it again the other day, but was disappointed to find that only people living in the U.S and Canada can use it!
You can go to their website and download music for free. How? Well the advertising revenue from the website pays the artist.
I'm not sure how much the advertising pays out, but i imagine this set up would appeal especially to unsigned artists, keen to get their work out there. For this reason the site could provide you with the opportunity to find new and undiscovered music.
I think this is a great in-between solution to free downloads and pay per download. Here you get free music, the artist gets paid and so long as you don't mind the advertising then everybody wins...right?
In this ever-changing digital landscape of filesharing and illegal free downloads I love to see companies that embrace these changes and provide alternative solutions that benefit both artist and user.

Try we7.com; you trade the high-profile artists for more indie emergance but lose the dumb DRM for the ease of MP3s.
