I work at Goombah, a new service that matches artists with audience. We offer DRM-free promotional tracks that are sourced from labels and artists. These tracks are recommended to members based on their taste profile for them to download and keep. The Goombah Free Music collection is growing, covers many genres, and is updated weekly on Free Music Fridays. Goombah analyzes each member's entire music library and connects them with people who share their taste. Additionally, recommendations of music to sample and purchase are drawn from matching members' libraries. As the promotional tracks are downloaded in member's collections, that artist starts to spread throughout the community. We believe that this model is a benefit to both the artist and their (new) fans and works very efficiently in the digital environment. http://www.goombah.com/
