Excellent idea although I wonder if people would enjoy listening to a full playlist of these tracks.

@Chris: No, I don't think they do, but for music discovery I don't think that downloads are necessary. Having said that, I don't think I really fit into the demographic for We7. I prefer to buy whole albums rather than singles.

Pete, what would you say now:

"Ad supported music downloads are a bad idea" ?

Does Pandora and Last.fm allow you to transfer songs to your music device? I think We7.com is a start, hopefully we will see more videos and support from larger labels. Both the singers and labels can make money via ads.

This is just the kind of innovation the large record companies should be embracing - when will they ever learn that times are a changing?!? (And have been for many years!)

Postscript: After signing up I'm a little disappointed. There are only a couple of dozen songs from half-a-dozen artists. I can't see this model working with music discovery. Pandora or Last.fm are much better suited for that purpose.

Very neat idea. Often I'll find myself looking for a song I've just heard. If I knew that I could *easily* find and download decent quality ad supported version then I'd much prefer that to P2P or paying $1.80 on iTunes. For full albums CDs are still the way to go.

I downloaded a few songs, it is not bad, just a small clip of ad at the beginning. I found a few gems in there, hope they have more songs available soon. The quality is as good as any music download.
