Absolutely Free Music on MySpace

...I doubt it. However, that doesn't stop the big wigs at MySpace from touting their Music program, rolling out this summer, as being all the music you want, for FREE. Well, I'm throwing out the bull shit flag right now, because there is nothing about MySpace that is free, just think of all Ads on MySpace and spam.

As of now all the big name labels are on board to provide this 'FREE' music on MySpace, but you may remember something called Qtrax where they pulled out at the last minute. According to MySpace they plan on offering free music on a platform that utilizes other revenue streams. Apparently Downloads is just a small portion of the program they plan on offering. No doubt some sort of digg oriented streaming-low-quality-mp3-flash-concoction will be what they go with. Audiophiles need not apply, but this is just my opinion.

Check out the interview Wired had with MySpace co-founder Chris DeWolfe.
