Free, ad-supported music service SpiralFrog has signed a a digital distribution agreement with EMI Music . Under the agreement, EMI will provide access to its catalog of digital music and music videos to SpiralFrog users in North America.
Artists found on EMI’s label include The Beach Boys, David Bowie, Miles Davis, Duran Duran, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Coldplay, Norah Jones, Lenny Kravitz and Keith Urban.
With this deal SpiralFrog now has agreements with all major music publishers. The service, despite $12 million in the bank has met with a fair bit of skepticism in the past, but the service is surging, having cleared 5 million uniques in May. Perhaps there is a market for free, ad-supported and legal downloads after all.
