I received an email from the Audiobubble team about their online music store.
"Audiobubble isn’t your average online music store.
It began in early 2005, when two musicians, Shaun Russell and Tom Chambers,
decided to create a music service that was fair to artists and fair to
customers. Tired of puny 30 second previews, lack of customer trust and lack
of freedom for the artist, they created the Audiobubble concept.
We don’t use DRM because we know it isn’t consumer friendly. Shame that
Napster, iTunes and other online music giants can’t wake up to this fact.
Audiobubble is about freedom. Join the revolution!
"I signed up for an account and was listening to previews in no time under
Ubuntu Linux. The only information asked for during signup was email,
username and password.
"Payment is handled through PayPal, so if you don’t have a PayPal account and
refuse to sign up for one you’re out of luck.
"Other online stores that sell music files without DRM: Magnatune, Bleep,
Mindawn, Audio Lunchbox.
