I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with NoiseTrade.com, but it works like this. Artists post their music on the site (anything from 1 song to albums to compilations to sometimes even multiple albums). Users can listen to any or all of the songs before downloading. If you chose to download, you must give your name and email. In return, the artist gets your email. Each time you chose to download, a donation is requested, but never required.

I have been subscribed to this site for a couple of years, and I have never had an artist abuse the right to send me email. I have to cancel more mailing lists now since I'm stuck with 50 - 150kByte download speed so streaming is problematic, and I generally download, then listen (and don't always like it <g>). I have never had a problem canceling from the artist's mailing list, so it seems a small price to pay.

Anyway, every once in a while I run into a real gem (IMHO), and found one today at http://noisetrade.com/meandmolly/ep. The EP has 4 songs from Me and Molly, and they really impressed me. Think Civil Wars, but a lot happier songs. Folk/Americana, IOW.

I haven't gotten much music from them, but I've gotten several e-books free from them. Same thing, the authors get your E-mail. But there have been some good ones. I like their model.

For you Bruce Springsteen fans, you can get a live show free here. The only catch is that it is only available today and tomorrow - and today's almost gone.

4 free classical/jazz music albums and 5 pop/rock songs for Canadians (possibly also elsewhere):

Full albums:

• The Sound of Yo-Yo Ma (Google Play Exclusive) @ Google Play (available to Canadians)
• Play: Classical Tenors @ Google Play (available to Canadians)
• Play: Jazz Pioneers @ Google Play (available to Canadians)
• Play: Blues Pioneers @ Google Play (available to Canadians)

Singles only (scroll down to obtain freebie):

• Take Me to Church by Hozier, track #1 @ Google Play (available to Canadians)

• Come With Me Now by Kongos, track #2 @ Google Play (available to Canadians)
• Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars @ Google Play (available to Canadians)
• All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor @ Google Play (available to Canadians)

And there's an intermittent ad on the main Google Play Music store page which says Get 75% off an Album for one album. The fine print says it's available through Jan 29th for US, Canada, UK, Germany, and Mexico. Applies to some sort of select list (apparently the bestselling/recommended for you stuff on their front page), with an automatic discount at checkout once you redeem the offer by clicking on the banner.

Just to save others time, definitely not available in the US. Some aren't even for sale here.

Thanks for the post ATDrake.

Thanks for this! My "My Downloads" area doesn't indicate that these are temporary, so I assume I can download them later now that I've checked out? I looked through the help section but didn't see the answer to my question.

I got the free page just fine (in the US).

Also don't use the link on his twitter page - he says it is free, but links to the full-cost version, instead.

I'm in the US and not using any VPNs, etc. My provider is Verizon, and should be pretty straightforward with its routing.

I get the "Not Available" page, too.

Same here, in the US, no VPN, using Comcast, I get the "Not Available" page as well.
