Last summer, Clark talked about something about which he was very excited. Its 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. Well keep you posted on Spiral Frog. In the meantime, Clark has another service for you to try. Its called Ruckus, and its 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 cant load the songs onto a player. That is available to everyone. Lots of free products are coming on the market. So, dont be surprised if traditional cell phone companies offer free or discounted packages in return for watching ads.
UPDATE: As of March 2009, SpiralFrog.com is no longer available.
