I, too, checked out the site today, and it was painfully slow until after 5 PM EST. But I'm betting traffic slows post-launch and/or SF buys more bandwidth and it'll speed up. As far as the DRM, once you've installed http://analogwhole.com/ or http://www.soft29.com/freeware/fairuse4wm.htm, it's no longer an issue and you can use the music you've downloaded how you want, when you want.

Spiral Frog got shut down earlier this year. In March I think. Anyway, it isn’t working anymore.

I like the idea behind spiralfrog, but it just didn’t seem to work for me. I tried it with my sansa, but it ended up making the songs I actually owned not work on my mp3 player within days! I don’t know if it was just a bug with my mp3 player, but I had to reset it and the songs would still not play. I had to go through a ridiculously long process to put a lot of my songs back on my sansa and have them work. And the spiralfrog songs didn’t even last a month on my mp3 player. I would go on the site to renew it, but it never seemed to renew the songs. I would have to re-download it. It messed up my mp3 player to the point that I got frustrated and bought an ipod. I say if it works for you, great, but be cautious.

I can understand the general frustration, but I rather enjoy SpiralFrog. I don’t understand why a ten second audio clip is less annoying than a constant visual ad, that can be blocked by certain pop up blockers or just ignored. I have downloaded a few hundred songs, albeit most are Christian artists, but it wasn’t that difficult. I just pick a couple of albums, then watch TV, play a game, or just surf the web. I either leave the music on my computer or put it on my phone. If you have a compatible device, I don’t see why you wouldn’t rather get it for free. I know it won’t come anywhere close to iTunes but I can pay for dinner for at least a week with the money I saved. I just think you guys should give it more of a chance.

I really like the site. Found songs that I could’t find anywhere else. No problems so far.

Hmmm, It worked fantastically for my little sister (she had one of those supported mp3 players) – and I had no problem downloading anything. However, I wasn’t impressed by their selection- it wasn’t my style. (Again though, my little sister loved it)

I tried to go on this site from the UK but still couldn’t, even though old newspaper articles said it would be up and running here in the spring! It’s a bit rubbish!
