750+ Free Songs—Thanks, SXSW!
Posted by Daniel Stout on Tue 8 Mar 2005 at 12:08 PM
The SXSW music conference is an annual spectacle to behold. In the past, they’ve had MP3s of bands playing available for download. This year the good folks in Austin have provided a torrent of 758 legal songs in MP3 format (2.6 GB worth) of the bands playing this month at the conference. Download away!
This monster torrent of free music got mentioned over at Wired News.
P.S. If you’re wondering what a torrent is, check out BitTorrent.
