SXSW Music has 775+ songs available for download

Posted by Daniel Stout on Wed 12 Mar 2008 at 7:45 AM

Today the SXSW Music conference starts. Each year hundreds of bands descend upon Austin, Texas, to perform and get a piece of the action. And since 2005, SXSW has been releasing a torrent download of songs from each of the bands. This year’s tally is over 775 tracks. It’s an amazing thing — the quality of the bands is high, and there’s tons of stuff to pore over. I linked in 2005, 2006, and 2007 to the torrent. This year SXSW didn’t release a torrent — a handy all-in-one download of the MP3 files. You can download each of the tracks individually from the SXSW website, but seriously, that would be painful. Fortunately someone has stepped in and created a torrent of this year’s tracks. You’ll need a BitTorrent client to download the torrent — I recommend Azureus. But with no further ado, here is this year’s torrent. I should note that that page also has torrents for the previous years of downloads, and supposedly they’re all working now. If you want the latest in what’s up in music, check it out. You’ll never find so much free, legal music anywhere else.

Update: If you need some help parsing through 700 songs, Paul Ford has kindly listened to each track and given a six-word-review of each song, along with a rating. Might be helpful with checking this stuff out.
