(I haven&#8217;t got my invite yet, by the way.)<\/p>\n<p>When you head to the download page, you&#8217;ll notice right away <a href=\"http:\/\/magnatune.com\/info\/\">some of the features<\/a> that make Magnatunes such an interesting place. For one thing, their motto is &#8220;We are not evil.&#8221; That&#8217;s a good start.<\/p>\n<p>The next interesting factoid is that their music is all DRM-free &#8211; always. And you have a wide variety of choices in how you want to receive it. You can get a CD (and pick your own price) or you can download the music in a variety of formats. And if you ever lose the file, you can always download another copy for no cost.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an interesting place. I recommend taking some time to look around their website after you download your free Christmas music.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re into books and looking for some alternatives to the traditional way of buying and selling your collection, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/bookmooch.com\/languages\">Bookmooch<\/a>, Buckman&#8217;s latest creation.  <a href=\"http:\/\/bookmooch.com\/about\/interview\">Here&#8217;s an interview<\/a> that helps to explain the concept.<\/p>\n<p>Happy listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re looking for some new Christmas music for the holidays, you&#8217;ll want to check out a free download from Magnatunes, via founder John Buckman&#8217;s blog.
