The Free Music Archive (FMA) is an online repository of royalty-free music, currently based in the Netherlands. Established in 2009 by the East Orange, New Jersey community radio station WFMU and in cooperation with fellow stations KBOO and KEXP, it aims to provide music under Creative Commons licenses that can be freely downloaded and used in other works. The service launched with an emphasis on curating high-quality works in a manner “designed for the age of the internet”. Users can also “tip” musicians via donations.
Okay, so I was wondering if there were any cool ways to find new artists. Then I stumbled across the Free Music Archive – seriously, it’s a gem! It’s got tons of music from independent bands and artists, and most of it is under Creative Commons licenses. It’s a really easy way to discover some awesome tunes and support the musicians directly. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something different!

Is there a way of doing a shuffle on all artists and/or artists in a genre similar to a music streaming app? Or do you just have to listen and download?
On the home page : https://dogmazic.net/ On the right you have 4 foldable menus, the fourth one is a radio player. It’s playing all the content of the archive at random (be careful as there are a lot of weird stuff ;o)
