Qtrax - The future of music downloads is free and legal Posted: 2 years ago by Pocksucket
Due to launch later today, Qtrax signifies that the music business is finally coming to accept the reality of free music downloads.
Instead of charging you for the music, Qtrax will feed you adverts while you download, but without spyware or any other malicious software required (at least they claim).
What makes this really significant is that it has the backing of the major labels and they are claiming to have a catalogue of 25 million tracks by major artists available.

A chap who may or may not go by the name of Bastwood goes one further by finding the things.
