TuneSquare allows customers to buy music that is DRM-free, just like the new Amazon.com MP3 store.  But the most distinguishing feature of TuneSquare is that music on the site is free!  Some of TuneSquares’ competition includes Amie Street and Spiral Frog. 

Users search for songs by categories or by searching, watch a video ad, and that is all.  Musicians can share advertising revenue from TuneSquare.  As Download Squad points out, since the musicians aren’t well known, its rather unlikely that TuneSquare will get a lot of traffic.  But TuneSquare provides music labels a portal to search for fresh talent.

There isn’t really any background information about who created TuneSquare or where they are based on the company website.  The only details that the website gives is that they’re run by several international companies.
