TuneSquare is an online community where unsigned artists and bands are making money while listeners download their songs for free. The artists are paid via the site’s “carefully selected” on-site advertising and flash advertisements that are shown while a song is played. So maybe it’s a lot of ads, but if it means free tunes and artists making money, I suppose that is OK. You can browse through different genres like pop rock, hard rock/metal, Soul/R&B, Singer/Songwriter, Hip-Hop/Rap, Techno/Electro, World, Club/Dance, and Other. For more detailed browsing, and even more genres, you can click on “Browse,” which is where you will find options like Alternative (hello!), as well as more obscure genres like “Screamo,” “Shoegaze,” “Breakbeat,” and “Zouk.” (I had no idea the extent of musical ignorance until reading through the full genre list!) You can listen to the songs online, and then, if you like them, click “Download this song,” to snag a DRM-free mp3. You can also recommend the song to other users or share the song on Facebook.
