Find, play, and download web music with Songbeat

When you fire up the application you're greeted with a search box. Just type an artist or song title and Songbeat will attempt to find songs from the music search engines mentioned plus a few more. Or you can click on the Station tab and enter an artist or song title to launch a Last.fm audio stream.
Songbeat lets you listen to as many songs as you want for free. But you can also use the program to download music or record audio from Last.fm. Once you hit 25 downloads, you'll have to pony up some cash to keep downloading the free music. A full license costs 19,99 Euros or $29.99 US.
There are a few kinks to be worked out. While I found the search and playback features worked fairly well, once I tried recording an audio track Songbeat went hog wild and started downloading a bunch of songs I hadn't asked for. In a matter of minutes all of my 25 free downloads were used up.

This is not legal. They will be in court or shut down in the next 3-6 months I think. I have written a review over at http://routenote.com/blog/songbeat-the-new-music-piracy-tool-that-will-end-up-closing-soon-enough/ Take a look and would be great to hear your thoughts. RouteNote is aimed to help musicians get coverage and actually make money from their music. Songbeat is just about profiting from others.

I don't think the software itself is illegal, its what it allows people to do... make copies of copyrighted music. Its just a tool like a CD burner, or even pen and paper.
