ExtensionFM

I have two confessions to make.

#1, I'm stealing almost the entire concept for this blog from an article I just read.

#2, It's probably not a good idea to tell people to listen to music online when there's a perfectly good radio station probably playing their favorite song right now at 106.5 The buzz.

Ya know what?  People are going to get music wherever they can so I say who cares!

On that note, here we go.

I've found something called ExtensionFM and it's an add-on to your Google Chrome web browser. Don't have Chrome yet?  You may want to after reading this.  Click HERE to download it.

After you install the ExtensionFM add-on, any time you are on a page that has a link to a downloadable MP3 file, it will add a permanent link to that MP3 to its library, which looks a lot like iTunes. The ExtensionFM library is always accessible from Chrome!  Just click the icon in the upper-right corner of the browser, and you'll launch a tab with the library. You can then organize the MP3 links by source, artist, or album.

Don't know where to go for free mp3's?  There's a featured list of sites on the Extension's homepage.  Right now it includes Spinner, Pitchfork.com, Stereogum.com and Live Music Archive but this changes.

After visiting pages like these, ExtensionFM will continue to feed new links into the library with no further intervention from you.  Every time the sites are updated with more free MP3s, they'll appear in your library.

Thanks to Matt Rosoff at Cnet.com for the information!
