Free yet Revolutionary : Cash Music's Web Apps

Posted by FISH On Tuesday, April 20, 2010


Cash (Coalition for Artists and Stake holders) Music has released two mini apps, which allow artists to give free songs to anybody who tweets about their music or posts a Facebook update. The concept in itself is not new. In October 2007, Radiohead, popular rock band, made its new album available for download. The customer could choose to pay whatever price he/she thinks is worth the album.  It was a step towards an attempt to revolutionize the way music is sold. We have come a long way since then. Today, prominent artists in order to curb the competition and piracy give albums for free and do live online shows.

Cash Music's mini apps can do lot more for independent artists and new comers.  The simple apps can become viral machines, spreading word across two largest social networks.

It all started when the code-savvy cellist ZoĆ« Keating began work on a tool that would allow people to download a song from her Into the Trees album in return for tweeting a link to all of their followers on Twitter. 
Given how powerful these tools are or can become, in the coming future we can expect many artists to take advantage and spread their music across the internet.
