SpiralFrog -- the new Kazaa?
August 30, 2006 -- An Internet start-up is counting on advertisers to back a free song download service and break Apple Computer's grip on the digital music market.
In contrast to Apple's 99 cents-a-song iTunes service, newcomer SpiralFrog will let people download songs from its ad-supported Web site at no charge.
SpiralFrog, which will launch in December, said yesterday that Universal Music, the biggest global music company, will make its songs available on the site.
Customers will be able to download an unlimited number of songs to their computer and one other device - although not to Apple's popular iPod.
