Hard to explain this on here with html off but

"Deezer is a free French music streaming service. Deezer has negotiated rights to make 165,000 songs available for streaming legally via an agreement with Sony, as well as some of Universal's catalogue, however all the other tracks they provide appear to be used without the permission of the copyright holder. There are also issues of legality relating to the uploading and sharing of music on Deezer

Deezer was the first music site in France to sign an agreement with a publisher rights' organisation to reimburse artists through advertising revenue.

There are 4 million registered Deezer users according to the home page of the website. There are 3.7 million songs available on Deezer."

So basically you can do a muxtape of any length and legally use any track on there, you can add your own but if it's something not licensed to the site they;ll take it off. (Led Zep, Beatles etc)

They have all of BSP's albums, an EP and a dozen b-sides. Not everything but 75% or so.

That playlist, you could imbed if Rufus fixes board software.
Nice bowl of Crunchy Nut you got here, pretty expensive as I recall.

i've got a friend who kept on going on about this but i never bothered to check it out till last week when curiosity got the better of me over that new AC gubbins, it wasn't on there so i gave up again, till today when i saw this thread and searched for the low end theory (i've somehow gone through life never hearing this reccud) and the site is impressing me a lot more now, mind the first track on this reccud is covered in static. is that something the site have to do occasionally to appease labels, or a one off glitch? cos that's pretty annoying, but still a nice site indeed

if you could stream everything (in decent quality), which you almost always can nowadays, i would never download again
