I found it moved here. Given all that changed was /support-center/ to /page/ in the middle, this looks like they were fixing where it was placed on the site. (Also, it looks like even the support links are now /page/ instead of /support-center/, so they apparently redid links site-wide.)
Thank you.

I went to the new webpage and set an updated bookmark for it. Then, I went to Visual Ping and set it up to let me know when the webpage changes significantly (for those of you who haven't started using it, it is easy peasy to use). Now, I'm all set to get free classical music every week! Woohoo!

I don't usually monitor this thread, so I don't know if anyone has posted this info . . . . there is a service called FreeGal that libraries can subscribe to, by which patrons can download up to 5 songs or tracks each week, free. They cover every genre and subgenre imaginable, it seems. Don't expect many of the newer artists (think: Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Alabama Shakes, et al.) to be included, nor some of the older artists or some of their songs or tracks. But, I've found a huge number of great songs and tracks, nevertheless. Of course, this is bound to cost the libraries some money, so the libraries with which you have privileges may or may not offer the service. If you don't know, you can check with your libraries to find out (if they do offer FreeGal, it probably will be featured prominently on their websites somewhere).

My local library used to subscribe to Freegal, and I did download some music from there, but the website was incredibly unresponsive, difficult to navigate and just very frustrating in general. I stopped using it long before our library dropped it. YMMV.

Yeah, it has its quirks and such. I used to get frustrated with it some. But they improved a little bit about two years ago. Too, after you've used it a while, you learn how to sidestep the quirky things, employ workarounds, etc. I don't mind using it now, and I am the kind of person who doesn't have much patience with stuff like that.

In addition to the weekly downloads, you can also stream music--I believe it's three hours of streaming per day.

I used Freegal to recreate some of my old scratched LPs, religiously going through the track lists and downloading five files every week. Lots of great stuff there.

I didn't know about that feature. From what you wrote, it sounds like there may be some more desirable artists and songs/tracks than available by download. Is that correct?

No, it's all the same material.

Google Play has been giving away a lot of great albums lately. I learn about them all (it seems), from another website; unfortunately, I can't give out the information about the website because another member of Mobileread runs it. I haven't been able to find a way to be notified of them directly. Does any Mobilereader reading this know how to do that?

What? Huh? Why you can't you share the link to that site as you would that of any other site that offers media of interest to MobileReaders?

I thought that there was a rule against it. I'll try to look through the rulebook tomorrow and check.

MobileRead has rules prohibiting self-promotion (but it's not your site) and posting affiliate links outside of the Self-Promotion section (but you won't be posting affiliate links), so - unless you pinkie-swore, signed some secret blood pact, would be sharing state secrets, or would be guiding MobileReaders to a site hosting unauthorized content - there's no obstacle to your posting links to that site here. Except, of course, your availability of time, willingness, and effort, all of which this MobileReader would gr8ly appreciate.

Very well. The site is blog.booksontheknob.org. Koland, who frequently posts in this forum, runs it.

Thanks for sharing the link, GtrsRGr8. I am familiar with that site and with Koland's many contributions to MR.

The site has an RSS feed, so you can use a feed notifier app to get notifications. I haven't used any of those personally, but Googling finds one nice little Windows/Mac OSX app and a service that'll send you an E-mail when the feed updates. If all you're interested in is notifications from the Free Music category, use this RSS feed:
Code:
http://blog.booksontheknob.org/category/music/free-music/feed
If you want to be notified about all new posts, use this one:
Code:
http://blog.booksontheknob.org/feed
If there's another specific category you want, just browse to that category. Then view page source and look for the RSS links in the header of the page. They look like this:
Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Books on the Knob &raquo; Feed" href="//blog.booksontheknob.org/feed"/>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Books on the Knob &raquo; Comments Feed" href="//blog.booksontheknob.org/comments/feed"/>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Books on the Knob &raquo; Free Music Category Feed" href="//blog.booksontheknob.org/category/music/free-music/feed"/>

Thanks. I have never "gotten into" RSS feeds and such. Heretofore I just never felt that it was something that I needed.
