Nine Inch Nails have released another album and it is free to download. The Slip is available in multiple formats MP3, FLAC, M4A & amazingly 24/96 wave. Better than CD quality is a surprise from any downloadable music especially a free one. It also comes with a pdf album art again. Nine Inch Nails used a Creative Commons License for the album. Once again I find this great news and think it is cool.

I love that. A very successful artist appreciating his fan base that allow him to do what he loves for a living and most likely living a pretty good life style. This is better than a lot of acts that try to milk it for every dollar.
Of course NIN are selling CD and Vinyl versions of the album that will be available in July. So, I imagine they will do alright financially they have a lot of very obsessive collector type fans. Do something good doesn’t always mean giving away the farm. Plus this is great free publicity in advance of their summer tour.
I am still waiting for my download link. So, I have yet to hear the album. I imagine their servers are getting pummeled again.
emule has got some good inventory of free music.”::
