Best Moment 2010

"It's been an incredible year for netaudio! The FMA library of curated free music has nearly doubled in size to 28,000+ tracks, so how can I limit my picks to just one favorite moment, 5 songs and 5 netlabels?

So how about a favorite netaudio idea: "Digital Seven-Inch" -- like a hybrid blog and record label. I wrote about it here in regards to Ampeater Music, with shout-outs to Bad Panda Records, Beko-DSL. </div>
