As music lovers who banded together in the dark ages of music, we embrace all open source technologies. Starting in 1996 with the ascension of the mp3 file format, we have watched this ridiculousness play out.  We’re drawing a line in the sand of popular music’s dark ages, at SuperFan20009.com. We are using existing open source publishing tools to bring great music to fill up your iPod legally, for free, and you might find some great music to buy as well.

We looked around for the coolest possible tag cloud, looks like Steve Johnson has made one, check it out at ilikewordpress.com. We placed one on SuperFan2009.com, and she loves it.

Lots of free Open Source Music

Load up your iPod or whatever device for free, legally, here is some of the music Open Source Music that’s truly open source.  The recordings we’ve found are freely released, but that doesn’t mean that monetary donations wouldn’t be welcome and very much appreciated by these super worthy recording artists. Most of these artists have even more great music you can buy.
