012: The Hype Machine
So, my weekend was spent mostly in Austin, but that’s another post. This is something i’ve been meaning to get to for a while now.
How many times have you heard a song and wtaned to download it, but you either:
a) Don’t have the money in your iTunes account
b) Don’t want to get viruses from Limewire or BitTorrent
c) Don’t have any of the previously mentioned programs
Well, friends, you’re in luck thanks to a little search engine called The Hype Machine.
This little wonder searches the known internets to find any blogs that may have posted the song you’re looking for as a download. Once you get there, you can download the song for free, or just listen to it in your web browser, like for Pandora or Pure Volume.
Overall, I really like this little website. It’s easy to use and has a wide plethora of songs. Plus, it’s simplistic, and that’s what makes htis place such a good place to get free music from.
So check it out. Maybe you’ll find something you’ll like. I know I did.

Hype Machine is really good for live versions of songs too, along with early samples of songs on new cd’s
