[...] While many web sites and services offer free and openly-licensed independent music, not all of them do, of course. Lifehacker doesn’t endorse copyright music piracy, but for grabbing low-fidelity copies for sampling before purchase, Freemusiczilla is a pretty handy tool. Freemusiczilla is a free download for Windows systems only. Freemusiczilla [via TechCrunch] [...]

Downloading music on-line (21st century) is no different than people hitting the record button on their old radios (20th century) with a 60/90 minute cassette tape. The record button is just much easier and the fidelity is much higher.

I’m going to be honest and say that millions and millions of people download illegal content off the internet. They normally go out and buy to support artists/movies/books funding so that they keep making more. The rest is all downloaded or if they had the CDs that broke or gotten scratched they just redownload it from P2P sharing. Due to not wanting to spend another 10-20 bucks in this crap economics to rebuy one silly CD.

Just like the mafia/gangs sell/smuggle illegal drugs in the country and that underage kids drink/smoke illegally. It happens, let the goverment handle it.

If radio/goverment/copyright every torrenting, p2p, and illegal website would be shut down or they’d be trying upmost effort to get them taken down. The issue is that most of these companies understand that these aren’t lowering their sales. It’s actually a proven study that they help promote music and keep it in balance so people who do support artists and record companies get more sales and growth.

I don’t support illegal downloading. I’m just saying that if the goverment wanted something done about it, these sites would be taken down or being legally blocked from entering US internet. Which is simple to do without people noticing.

Despite the fact that all this negative feedbacks on this little tiny program, why don’t you guys think about all the other programs that do a similar job as this one? aren’t those bad? ie. songbird? I have a scarce knowledge on music software but i’m sure there are positive usage on this program. trust me, there isn’t such legal ilegal stuffs. kazaa, limewire, frostwire,emule…legal? f that. they should all be gone

For all those discussing FreeMusicZilla getting blocked – it won’t happen. Why? Because when you stream audio(whether via Flash or otherwise), it’s at least temporarily stored to your hard drive. Freemusiczilla just accesses the data that was stored and uses that.

Regarding Freemusiczilla getting shut down? It’s possible. But like many others have said, it’s a good idea and it’s likely that others will reproduce it if that happens.

Hasn’t anyone heard of Java or XUL?

Mac and Linux users are SOL when it comes to this app.

At least there are alternatives.

Don’t worry about them blocking this application. If you’re not using Vista and it plays through your speakers then you can record it. There’s nothing any of the streaming music sites can do to change that basic fact (other than tell non Vista users that can’t use the service). Even with Vista there’s always the opportunity to put an audio recorder’s microphone next to the speakers.

Another application that does this is “Audacity” (but it looks like this application is simpler to use).

To th:

If you’re not getting paid by the RIAA to uphold their antiquated, self-serving, and illegitimate position, why not? You’re missing a second source of income. As it is, Cameron was mistaken. Your’re an RIAA dupe, not a shill.

The RIAA wants you to think it’s illegal to record songs off the air, or to rip your own CDs and put them on your iPod. According to them, you have to pay again and again for the same song, every time you want it in a new format. They’re wrong.

When a song is broadcast, the license fee is paid. It’s done. They’ve gotten their money. When you buy a song, whether on CD, iTunes, or vinyl, they’ve been paid. They don’t get paid again every time you listen to it. They don’t get paid again for every device you play it on. They get paid *once*, when the song is broadcast or bought.

Second, downloading music is not illegal. If a radio station (internet or airwaves) is playing a song, you *have* to download it (receive it) just to play it. It’s not illegal to record it.

What *is* illegal is for you to broadcast it without paying the fee. If you’ll look past the RIAA’s obfusications, you’ll see that they are suing people for *sharing* music, not for downloading it.

I wonder if anyone else here has realized that anything playing on your sound card can be captured with most wave editors. If not, there’s always the handy stereo patch cable that goes from the line out to line in.
