by Eric Hamilton

Free Music Downloads is a blog that posts electronic music tracks regularly. The primary goal is to provide exposure to deserving independent artists.

(PRWEB) February 2, 2005 -- Free Music Downloads is an mp3 blog for electronic music fans, established by Dilvie (an electronic music producer) January 5, 2005. It quickly attracted hundreds of subscribers (via the free podcast feed), and tens of thousands of visitors. All of the music posted is available for free download, and it's all legal. The music spans a wide variety of electronic music genres, including house, breakbeat, drum n bass, ambient, jazz, soul, and catchy synthpop.

Musicians supply free mp3's primarily as a promotional tool. They realize that the best way to gain new fans is to be heard, and the Internet is a great way to connect with an audience, even for artists with limited resources.

There are two top ten lists, which will be published monthly. The first is an all-time list, which represents the most popular music, counting the complete history of the site. The second is a list of the most popular tracks during the last week of the month, designed to help new artists break into the all-time chart.

The top ten lists are a measure of song popularity, based on a variety of factors, including click counts and the popularity of individual item pages. The majority of the blog subscribers use iPodder to automatically fetch new tracks on a daily basis. Many other users subscribe from one of many RSS syndication points on other websites. In other words, its likely that most people visiting the song pages have already heard the song, and are there looking for additional information about the artist.
