Can anyone recommend a free and open source platform to listen to music to and buy it? I really hate having a youtube tab open, and most of the ones I know are all proprietary.

@vancha I don't know if any of the ones listed at fckdrm.com/ are built on open-source software, but they don't require clients.

@ssokolow Hmm nothing really seems to pop up, but thanks for the suggestion nonetheless :) good to know there are at least some drm-less options.

@vancha Yeah. I actually discovered Jamendo through an open-source game that uses music by a band on it.

mars-game.sourceforge.net/ (`marsshooter` in the Ubuntu Universe repository)

jamendo.com/track/337572/ezer-

It's sort of like a SoundCloud that doesn't fight tooth and nail to prevent downloading unless the uploader pays money.

@ssokolow hah, seriously? symphonic metal in a game? best combination ever :D

@vancha Oh, I almost forgot. I've gotten some excellent indie music from bundles on groupees.com/ over the years.

(For example, the albums containing youtube.com/watch?v=U5u9glfqDs and youtube.com/watch?v=E52rxz2sjR )
