CNET launches free music download service

CNET launches free music downloads:

“We are the first large-scale provider to offer free music downloads in a discover-focused environment, saving music fans valuable time in finding tunes that match their tastes,” said Scot Arpajian, senior vice president of CNET Download.com.

Here is yet another avenue for unsigned artists to get some exposure. MP3.com wasn’t able to stay in business with this model, but hopefully CNET can keep this going.
