[, , , , ]

A new company, called SpiralFrog, will be trying to get the kids away from illegal downloads and pirate music sites by offering a legitimate source, supported by advertising instead of download fees and backed by Universal, with millions of songs in its catalog from thousands of artists.

The catch: you'll have to sit through advertisements and will be prevented from making copies of the songs or from sharing them with other people. You will also have to revisit the SpiralFrog Web site regularly to keep access to the music they download. And the songs will be encoded in the Microsoft WMA format, meaning they will probably not work on Apple iPod portable music players.

UPDATE: This won't work at all under MacOS.
