18,000 mp3s / Jason's recent faves

We surpassed the 18,000 mp3 milestone this week. That's nearly 4 times as much free quality audio as when we launched the FMA less than a year ago -- a lot to keep up with!


To break it down for you, we highlight a few gems from the FMA on this here blog (RSS), on Facebook, and on Twitter. And I've made a mix of some of the sounds that've bent my ear lately -- most of them uploaded within the past month or so.


We're curious to know -- how do you go about browsing the FMA? Do you browse By Curator? By Genre? Search for music that fits your Creative Commons criteria? Or do you just dive right in to the Recently Added RSS feed and hit Play? We're going to combine our browse functions (by curator and by genre) with our search filters and add a bunch of filters to make it easy for you to find music that fits your criteria. You can read more about what's in store here, and leave a comment to share your feedback

i usually find great stuff just by looking at others users' favorites. i am also a huge fan of the new tagging feature, hope that people utilize it and exploit its full potential

Blog posts! I subscribe to the FMA feed and try to keep up. I feel like I might miss something great if I don't check out every post.

I pay attention to curators, too. I tend to really like a lot of the music you blog, so I hop over from my feedreader to your posts extra quick! Anything Oddio's Katya likes, too, I rush to listen to. And there are a few other netlabels I browse through as thoroughly as I can.

FMA has become such a huge ocean of music. I'm just a bitty fish and can't swim around it all!

Agreed--I like the Wikipedia effect, where you just follow a trail from artist to artist, until you move from string quartets to chip music.
