Universal Music Group is partnering with new ad-sponsored digital music download service FreeAllMusic.com<\/a> to let anyone download music from the record label’s artists, which include Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Jay Sean. <\/p>\n Via Free All Music’s platform, thousands of tracks will be offered at a rate of 20 free downloads per month, five per week, starting every Tuesday. The recently launched FreeAllMusic.com, which appears to be in private beta, lets users access downloadable, high-quality, iPod-compatible MP3s of advertiser-paid, free, legal, and unrestricted song. The catch: users watch a video commercial per download on the site, Users’ music selections and sponsoring brands are then promoted externally through an opt-in, digital advertising network.<\/p>\n To download a free track, users can select a participating brand and then need to watch a video advertisement from that brand. Brands who are participating in the initial launch are Coca-Cola, Warner Bros, Zappos, Lionsgate, LG, and others. <\/p>\n Universal Music has long been a little trigger-happy on the lawsuits against music and video sharing services (MySpace<\/a>, Veoh and its investors<\/a>, Grouper \/ Bolt.com<\/a>, etc.), so its interesting that the startup has been able to bring on the record label. With the ad-supported downloads, FreeAllMusic may have found a way around the music label’s onerous fees. At the moment, it doesn’t appear that FreeAllMusic has other record labels signed; and its unclear if the site will add music from other record labels. Obviously, more varied music options will equate to more followers. <\/p>\n Crunch Network<\/em><\/strong>: CrunchBoard<\/a> <\/em>because it’s time for you to find a new Job2.0<\/p>\n
