Do you think this is a good deal? Watch ads, get music.

There is a new website, currently in an invite-only beta testing period, that thinks the lure of MP3s will be enough to get people to watch video ads. The site, Free All Music, has reportedly signed deals with major lables to offer new music that many people will actually want to get. The only catch? You have to watch 15 second video ad to get each MP3.

I think it sounds like a pretty tempting offer. What do you think?

I haven't received my invite to the site yet, but I'm looking forward to getting it and trying out the service. I'll let you know when I do get an invite.

Here's the signup, if you want to try it yourself: sign up for an invite to Free All Music.

One of my favorite music download sites, eMusic, has added music from Warner Music Group. eMusic offers the cheapest MP3 downloads of any legit site out there (it ends up being about 40¢-50¢ a track, a third to half the price of iTunes), but their album catalog has some holes in it.

Well they plugging the holes. This week they added over 10,000 new albums!

If you are a fan of Aretha Franklin, The Ramones, The Cure, The Replacements, Depeche Mode, R.E.M., Neil Young, Paul Simon, The Talking Heads or Joni Mitchell you should check it out.

The winner: Zortam Media Studio Pro 10

Zortam Media Studio Pro 10 does quick lyric lookups for MP3s. It took about six hours to do all ~8500 of my MP3s, which was much faster than the rest of the tools I tried. It costs about $22 for a license of version 10 and about $30 for a lifetime license.
