New Music Nearly Free

[In my January 1, 2015 post, I christened this the “Year of Learning” here on the blog. Each post, I’ll aim to share something recently discovered (or re-discovered) in the hope that you might add my learning to your own discoveries and make double-moves forward and upward this year!]

great musicI’ve learned of a site that offers 6.2 million tracks of music, for about 90% cheaper than the mega-music-site everyone knows about. You may find that as hard to believe as I did, but now I just can use this site and sit to listen my music all day, I even got new speakers that I saw in this logitech z906 500w 5.1 speakers review online, so the music sound even better.

A friend shared a link to just such a site over Christmas break. Curiosity made me click. More curiosity made me research. To my surprise, there are a number of such sites that I have never heard of. I determined the best one for my purposes to be PayPlay.FM. Their collection of Christian music and worship albums is impressive; I even grabbed a few miles-from-mainstream works that gave me the impression that this site would likely serve even somewhat eclectic tastes. Total bill: 11 complete albums for under $15.

Yes, you read that correctly.

No joke.

So there you have it — my first offering in the “Year of Learning” here at Wandering & Wondering. You get to save big money and discover new music — double-win!

You’re welcome! 🙂

  1. Not to rain on your learning parade, but there is a fair bit of question of the legality of PayPlay. It started in the US, but was bought and moved to Ukraine. Artists have complained of having no control over their content and not being paid.

    I thought you might want to know.

    • Wade, thanks for the comment. I hadn’t done extensive homework before trying it out, as I was conducting more of a “does this site actually work” experiment. And it does.

      On their site in the FAQ section, there is such a question included on the legality of the site. Reading that, I noticed them citing lines from Ukrainian law. I hadn’t learned of the origines of the company or their apparent move “overseas” for “friendlier legal systems”.

      Make a note, friends, of the tried and tested proverb: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

      If you know further helpful details on the debate surrounding PayPlay, please add them to this thread so the rest of us can be informed too.
