Joanna HolmanWorth checking if your library gives you access to the Freegal music platform. On it you get 5 free mp3 downloads a week and unlimited music streaming. The catalog is a bit patchy but there's plenty of good stuff there. Over the course of a few months I've been using my 5 downloads a week to build up a collection of songs and albums I love but didn't yet own and to support local artists
Michael Strasser@joannaholman Unfortunately, Brisbane City Council Library does not participate.
@pharsicle not sure how it works in QLD but many Victorian libraries allow members who live anywhere in the state (you just have to go to a branch to sign up). My freegal access is through the library near where I work, not the one closest to my home
@joannaholman That might work, although BCC covers a very large area.
