What is netaudio ? Basically free music for everyone to download. As far as I know, most of the releases are from the broad field of electronic music. By the first time I came across a netlabel webpage, I thought they were giving away the music for free and selling records/CDs, but the fact is, netlabel don't want to sell anything.

After I while I found (also by accident) Phlow.net, a webpage greatly dedicated to netaudio, often featuring interviews with some of the "big guys" from the netaudio scene.

In Germany netaudio/netlabels are getting more and more popular. There was a feature at "Bayrischer Rundfunk", I heard there will be a second one on another radiostation and there was also a big feature in the magazine de:bug. The whole feature should become online in december.
