Apple Thoughts: Its Time Again for Free Music From SXSW

"The South-by-Southwest (SXSW) festivals and conferences kick off at the end of next week and that means it's free-music time. Every year, artists appearing at SXSW offer a track for free public consumption and this year brings the largest collection of music so far-over 5GB of MP3s (1,045 tracks at last count and more are reportedly on the way)."

You can stream the available tracks direct from the SXSW '09 Music Player or if you are into torrents you can go to the "unofficial" torrent site where they have two torrents running. There are over 500 songs on each torrent and apparently they are going to be adding more as it gets closer to the opening of SXSW. More info can be found about the festival at the official SXSW '09 website.
