Qtrax (Or, free music and how to not get it)

Found out a new service called QTRAX yesterday; supposebly you can get free music it off of it… It is said to work by letting you listen to its “25 million” licensed songs by paying for each listen with the (multitude of) ad’s in the program (The program being a heavily modified looking version of Mozilla Songbird).

I installed the program today and what I found was that it is basically just a browser with a music player installed; there is absolutely NO songs available for download yet. And to add to the dismay I felt at this program, apparently none of these songs will work on my iPod… But oh wait, they have found a hotfix for that, and its going to implemented IN APRIL.

I for one will be seeking alternative sources for my music… I give the Qtrax program 1 purple tiger out of 10.

Get Frostwire. Srsly.
