Done

I'm jamendo-ing on a regular basis. I also pointed my teenage son to this site some time ago, as his tastes change.. a lot!

Wow, thanks! That is such a great site with a wealth of music, I almost don't know where to begin!

The only thing I can't seem to get it to play music in FF, so I've just been downloading stuff that seems interesting. Anyone know what I need to do to remedy the situation?

If you have flashblock or adblock, you should add jamendo.com to the white list. That should do the trick.

Ahh, thank you kind sir!! That fixed the problem instantly.

You are welcome.

Oh man, I do love Jamendo a lot. I listen to it while I'm working and don't feel like getting my laptop out - which has a bunch of music on it from Jamendo. I've really taken a shine to Silence, Try^d, Drop Alive and a French woman whose name escapes me. There's some really great stuff there, even better than Magnatune (IMO), and it's free. I tell everyone I can about it.

Don't forget Williamson, a great artist on there, and surely one of my very favourites.

Anyway, for those who do CLI, I have written a small bash script to quickly browse and listen to music. You will need mpd, mpc and w3m for it to run. You can find it here, and if you are interested the official thread where it all started is here.

Enjoy!

I am very very in love with Jamendo - I think that the website is gorgeous, but the rhythmbox plugin is very handy.

Just a note that this time when I installed ubuntu the jamendo catalogue wouldn't load. I think it was due to my Internet connection having stopped during it loading the first time. Anyway, the fix that I found was to find the jamendo folder in home/"yourname".gnome2/rhythmbox/ and get rid of the files there. I then restarted rhythmbox and the catalogue loaded fine.
Just cut and paste the catalogue files somewhere else to see if it works - you can always move them back if it doesn't work.

I love the idea of Jamendo and I use it all the time.

One of my grips with it though is that I prefer English songs and Jamendo has some great ones however most of the albums seem to either be in French or they're that kind of techno music that I don't like.

But yea I'm always getting on Jamendo and seeing what I like. I especially like how now you can download the albums straight from them without having to use bittorrent. Although I do use bittorrent usually unless it's something that just takes way too long on bittorrent.

If they're going to host the files anyways though it'd be nice if instead of packaging the albums all together, you could download the individual songs. That'd be cool.

You *can* download individual songs. Check any album page, and while you hover the song list you will see a downwards-arrow on the right side of each song, that's for downloading.
