fresh The amazing web service that has devastated the landscape in one fell swoop the online music :
Downlovers.it (http://www . downlovers.it / ) , has raised many concerns in Internet browsers: is it really possible to offer free songs by famous artists? Yes, you can: do it in exchange for an advertisement, to use the service There are no geographical limitations: you must have an IP address to the Italian city 'of the Vatican or San Marino. I am writing to Downlovers.it some time ago. I must say that I was not altogether bad. A song is downloaded in about 30 seconds and then you download an entire album more or less in 5 minutes. The biggest annoyance is the DRM, although lately the site has begun to catalog a number of DRM-free MP3. Considering that there are many albums in our catalog, if not the entire discographies of artists such as Vasco Rossi, U2, Irene Grandi and Elisa seems a good thing. Sure, the service is better but good start ....

Vi fermerete soltanto alla musica, o avete intenzione di ampliare la vostra offerta? “Siamo partiti dalla musica, ma in futuro estenderemo la nostra offerta a tutto ciò che riguarda il mondo dei “downlovers”, quindi videoclip, videogames, films. Un passo alla volta…”.
