City Pages has made a program available that “lets you actually hear the great music you read about in City Pages—just launch, click, and listen. Simply download the Media Taster and you’ll automatically receive a digital mixtape of music on a semi-regular basis (including free MP3s), legal and free of charge.” Though if you want an ad-free external program that helps you better understand the music you’re reading about online I’d recommend Songbird instead.
