Wrong. This much anticipated service has been on development for some years (eight to be precise) and is now finally ready for launch. What makes its gears grind though? Why its allegiance from top-notch music groups and record labels like EMI, SonyBMG, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group off course (Don’t you dare say OMG). After years of fighting legal battles concerning copyright issues, these record labels are finally feeling the fatigue and the becoming wiser by the moment. They are finally starting to realize the figure-of-speech in redux “If you can’t win em’ join em“, meaning they will start providing free music…for, err..a small interference to your eyes. By interference I mean 3-rd party ads. That is not a big deal anyway..who wants to “WATCH” music tracks on their pc, I don’t.

Things you have to do to listen to free music via Qtrax: Download their custom, gratis, based on the Mozilla powered “Songbird” media player (here we go, another multimedia player to add to our list). Now the real let down about this whole idea is that to stream music directly unto your desktop, you must, and I repeat, you “MUST” use their media player only . There is no alternative available for the time being (but I hope our Russian/Chinese brethrens would find one out soon). You are also prohibited from downloading any song and they still don’t have some of those crazy artists like “The Beatles” on their list/archive because of ongoing legal restrictions. As for OS dependencies, Qtrax currently support PCs, no MAC love yet. Apple would have to wait.
