A new project called Free All Music allows users to download up to five good quality mp3s a week at no cost.

Hunter Clarke at Gadgetell recently reviewed Free All Music, an invitation-only website which allows you to download five songs a week, remove DRM, and use it in programs like iTunes, for free.

The website uses advertising – specifically, requiring you to watching a video ad (you can choose from a selection) before downloading your tune. Clarke points out that while five tunes a week doesn’t seem like much, it could add up to $20 a month you might have spent on iTunes instead.

Try it out for yourself by heading to Free All Music and clicking Request an Invitation, then let us know how it goes in the comments section!

    Sounds to be a really cool project. Too bad it’s only for the US, so no music for me.

    I can’t see this site as its cultural offerings are not available to non-US visitors. I expect business models based on tweaking All Rights Reserved to die a quick death. Perhaps I’ll eat crow, but I doubt this site will be around long.

    As well, this is a recording industry effort. I’d rather support artists, not old business models. Something like flattr should appeal to those with a similar interest.

    I’ve found that is a great idea too, Itunes has a tight monopoly on the market, too tight, I think that we should get some competitors to lower the price.

    Projects like this are the only way to prevent and reduce the monopolization of the music industry. Making profits from their website and publicity, then turning that into free music for their users is a fantastic idea.
