The scoop on free music services

Last summer, Clark talked about something about which he was very excited. It’s called “Spiral Frog” and it was supposed to be a free, legal music site. But the site still says “coming soon,” which it said in August of last year. The deal is that you have to watch commercials while your songs are being loaded. It can be loaded onto any MP3 player except an iPod, of course. We’ll keep you posted on Spiral Frog. In the meantime, Clark has another service for you to try. It’s called “Ruckus,” and it’s available to college students only. You have to have an .edu e-mail address, and it costs $60 a year for unlimited music downloads. Napster.com also has a deal going. You can listen to music for free on your computer, but you can’t load the songs onto a player. That is available to everyone. Lots of “free” products are coming on the market. So, don’t be surprised if traditional cell phone companies offer free or discounted packages in return for watching ads.

This week's poll
The high cost of jet fuel has a lot of people staying at home this summer instead of traveling. Is there a "staycation" in your immediate future?
Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
