Free iPod Music
Free music for your iPod
So you want free music for your iPod...
A little off the beaten track you'll find the MacIDOL music store - storing thousands of music tracks for legal file sharing. This is music with a different value though, being given freely by some of the hottest musicians on the planet.
Artists like James Bouchard - a musician's musician, or quirky English cool in the guise of Paul Brazier - not afraid to try something different. These artists think different - mashing up new technology with old school telecasters or turntables. To many artists; tone is the Holy Grail which is why all of these musicians choose Apple Computers to compose, record and mix their songs.
iPod - in Good Company
The Apple iPod may be hip but it's not because of any fashion statements, it's because it has helped create a new musical revolution. A new order of musical pleasure brought about by new technology allowing music to spread globally and largely with out borders. Even the die-hard music industry has come to accept that the internet is far from the death knoll for musicians that is was made out to be. The British Music industry has recorded their most profitable year ever. Why? - because music is cool again. MTV is fine - but music should always be about the audio. The iPod is the ideal personal music player. Even Bono described it as "the most interesting artistic creation in pop since the electric guitar." So when you mix iPod's, Macs and the internet - you get a very special brew.
Music made for the iPod
So what we have here, is music makers who choose Apple computers to make music. They offer these tracks for free, so that you can download them to your Apple iPod. The charge? cost? the scam - it's Nil - it's music for nothing. If you like you can always donate or buy something from their personal MacIDOL music stores Most MacIDOL musicians would be more than happy if you dropped them a line or even better told the world about their fine music. This way, even if you don't make music, you can still help steer the music industry your own way and help us all find those special artists that deserve to be heard.
