September 21st, 2007

SpiralFrog.com, an ad-supported, free music and video download site, officially launched on Monday. The site, which was in beta testing for months, allows anyone to access and download files from a library of more than 800,000 songs and 3,500 videos.In addition to providing downloads, SpiralFrog lets music fans view millions of artist bios, reviews, discographies, and album art. Avid SpiralFrog users can keep track of the hottest downloaded songs through Facebook.

“College students demand fast access to music and they want it free, but they still want artists to be paid for their work and creativity,” Joe Mohen, chairman and founder of SpiralFrog, said in a statement. “SpiralFrog will let them download songs and video at no cost — other than their time and attention — while compensating music owners by sharing ad revenue.”
