Though it’s probably illegal, someone has developed a hack to bypass the free music’s encryption. Unsurprisingly, it has been removed has been removed for download by its host, RapidShare.

To get the free music, just sign up and download a track as you normally would. The only difference is you must choose “free mode” when submitting a request to download a track. Speeds for the free music are only around 50 KB/s at best, but who cares as long as it’s free?
