fma-logo-notextThe Free Music Archive (FMA) is a precious gem for readers who thrill to the sound of non-commercial, freely available, multi-genre music. Featured blog posts greet readers on the landing page and often include live and studio recordings that can not only be scouted online, but downloaded for free. For instance, the February 12, 2016 post, “Highlights from the 2016 Zlatne Uste Golden Festival,” boasts eight beautiful Balkan folk music tracks and a video of a raucous dance party. Readers may also search the site by genres, which include Blues, Electronic, Hip Hop, Jazz, Rock, Classical, Experimental, Instrumental, Old Time-Historic, and others. Finally, true music geeks may like to explore the archive using the dropdown list within the Curators tab, which features such venerable music aggregators as WFMU, Music for Video, Radius, and other observers of the contemporary music scene.
