SpiralFrog is an advertising-supported online music service offering free music and video downloads of major and indie records. People can sign up for free, obtain a download manager, and then have unlimited access to download songs with Microsoft Digital Rights Management (DRM). With Microsoft DRM, the downloaded music loses portability as it cannot be transferred to many other popular devices (like iPods, etc.), can only be used on Windows Machines, and requires Windows Media Player 9.0 or higher to play. With each song you download, SpiralFrog shows commercials before and afterwards, and only gives you "ownership" over songs for 30 day lease periods. However you can easily retain ownership of your songs by renewing your membership each month and answering survey questions. With over 700,000 songs, SpiralFrog currently has music licensing partnerhips with major labels Universal and EMI.«Less

They only support Microsoft DRM, which means no iPods |
