Reverb is a love story, a psychological thriller paced with romantic suspense, and chronicles the evolution of a master musician, from solipsist to integrated awareness. Reverb satisfies women's deepest desire-- for men to be more emotionally available, and more connected outside themselves.

Thank you, Windows and Reverbnation. I was one of your top downloads for one of the weeks Playlist 7 was going on, and it was a huge honor, help, and I'm proud to have been a part of it. Don't stop supporting the independent artists! They're stealing the stage as the music industry playing field becomes leveled by opportunities like this.

[XTHclan]

Reverbnation is my dads site...

I feel so special!

[oshantodiemel]

hey guys, i just clicked on the link of Windows page on Myspace but apparently, I am redirected to the MySpace homepage.

Is Windows still doing the music sharing thing?

[WindowsVideos]

There's still music sharing going on. Here's the link:

myspace. com/windows

[ufomonkey]

windows 7 :D

[arcticpenguin2350]

thats right microsoft keep trying to make up for vista.

[TheMotionSick]

We're glad to be part of this!

[ciphurphace]

Respect due to Reverb Nation, Microsoft, and Windows...this program is indeed effin' fresh. Peace.

[biggerflexible]

The offer has expired, weak.

[ganymedeIV4]

hey apple is giving away music.

but you have to pay for the software updates to listen to it.

hehehehehhehehehehe

[prattel]

since when?

[ganymedeIV4]

It's a joke. Because apple is famous for the nickle and dime.

they'll charge you for anything they can for some reason. Probably why they occupy the lowest slot on the computer sales market.

Who wants to pay 49.99$ for a Service pack. or 9.99$ for a i-phone app you get for free with other carriers. or a 79.99$ "proprietary slot use" charge when buying a video card. or an extra 11$ when buying a Mac based video game thats cheaper on a PC based system.

non stop nickle and dime.

[NineTailedFury1]

Windows 7 will totally kill Windows vista! =D

[Bikdip]

Let's hope!

[Sxkcils]

Are there no way to mark several files and then download, or do i have to click every single file? Can i download a whole album by an artist or just a few songs?

[Sequoya]

Thank you Windows and Reverbnation for this wonderful program. I've been using Reverbnation for years and I love the site so much. I'm honored that our song "Weary" is in this program.

[B1LLIONAIREKR3W]

thank you!!!! windows!! and Microsoft!! ReverbNation!!!

[evrimbee]

Hey thanx Microsoft & Reverbnation!

One of my songs - Good to Go - is also on the list, which is full of such great talent I might add.

This is a great marketing idea that benefits all involved: the musician, the sponsor and the listeners.

Thanx again!

[IngoGabriel]

Works great!

[mcfastric420]

windows is great glad to have my song in the 1000 song promotion thank you windows

[janesilencemusic]

So far this program has done everything it has promised. I'm so happy to have had my track "ACHE" included in the 1000 songs. Thank you to Microsoft for supporting the music.

[crazy8mopfo]

That's awesome

[sheshy88]

Massive thanks to ReverbNation, Microsoft and my awesome listeners who have helped me get noticed. My song "Be Here" is there for you to grab

Also well done all that have been selected there are some gems up there

Much love

[ablueoceandream]

Hi

My song "Back to zero" was downloaded 75 times the first day, this is a great way to get my music out there !

[RelicsOfRock]

Hi everyone: Please download our song titles "Color" by "Relics Of Rock". Fun tune.

Thanks!

[coijoi]

nice

[electricneedleroom]

Thank you Microsoft

[timvoong]

she avoids saying the mac and the ipod XD

[vcts5678]

its a great idea

[StephanieCester]

My song "Sorry" is available for download thanks to Sponsored Song. So have a listen and download it! Stephanie Cester "Sorry" hope you like it!

[VIVEYNNE]

i think its brilliant - the fan wins with a free high quality download, the artist wins by actually making some $ on the song, the advertiser wins with some exposure - why not ? oh - download my song !!!! Sort by ROCK, then "V" and choose VIVEYNNE - sucky ballad but i'll submit one of my more popular songs next time, wanted to see how this went first... :) GO, download !!

[pirateninjazombie]

how much do the artists get paid?

[VIVEYNNE]

Its going directly into the artist's reverbnation account with each download.

[pirateninjazombie]

how much a d/l if you dont mind me asking? it's a really cool idea. i d/led your song. you have an amazing voice :P.

[VIVEYNNE]

thanks for d/l pirate and sweet comment :) Well, it seems to work out to 50 cents a d/l take home. I think amazon, itunes and napster artist nets 70 cents.

[ellselzer]

I dig it :-)

[mukatuna]

We like it. 10/10 Microsoft.

[LimitlessAudio]

I think the selecting is little odd.. i've submitted 11 tracks, but only 1 is in play.

this 1 is the 1st i have sent, maybe they never listened the others ...

[MarceloArmoa]

My band was select in the Sponsored Songs. This is a great idea. Please, download our song "Looking Brighter". We are the Midnight Purple band. Rock´n roll!!!

[Vegiful]

its called LIMEWIRE!

[KatanaMaster9]

Lol, limewire FTW

[Windowsvsakawyse]

Finally something good windows offers not crap OS's.

[psyaviah]

well, we're taking part and we're and industrial band.. (electronic / rock)

which is not the biggest genre :)

[ilovekitten1]

Advertisements on the page = money for them.

[beejm90]

Good job Microsoft. This Is the kind of things you should be Investing In. Keep It up.

[PersonalComputerHelp]

OMG! VERY HIGH QUALITY MUSIC FREE!! I think I am in heavan!! Thanks a lot!!

[derguru1245]

RAmen. my Brother

[kings0ft]

Sure I'm use an iTunes to play and organize my music .

[strobegirl]

Reverbnation is actually a really brilliant way to check out new music and not just about crappy music from new and inexperienced bands lol! On reverbnation you will find loads of established bands from Depeche Mode, Madonna, Incubus, Jason Mraz to Audioslave etc as well as talented musicians of all genres from all over. Its a cool place to check out stuff.....hang on... I dont know why I 'm bigging them up ...I'm one of their top ten artists and they never invited me to take part! ha ha!

[ibpointless2]

Finally i can enjoy music with advertising for my cover art!

[Xanthonus]

This is cool Microsoft! I like how the beast is going to social networking sites all the more for me to be on the MS bandwagon. M$<3

[BorkGonsam]

TAKE THAT iTUNES!!!

That was a punch to Apple's Gut

Can't wait till this is in full swing

[allsnowedup]

exept for this is all gonna be crappy music from new and inexerperienced bands, no offence, that's just what i think

[BorkGonsam]

yeah This doesn't replace the power of torrents lol, Still its kinda cool, and hey they might have some good upcoming bands, and how would you feel if you still had their original mp3s they started out with, That'd be cool

[psyaviah]

you'd be surprised, there's loads of good artists on there

[silverstonewebcam]

YUPP!!!. I hate iTunes (the software) whether on mac or pc

[BorkGonsam]

Software takes way too much memory, and is slow, even with all that memory.

[beejm90]

You really think this a threat to iTunes? Please, keep dreaming.

[Joshlama]

This isn't a threat, it's just a way for bands to get known! Amazon mp3's is a threat.

[XxBelkYxX]

Cooooooooooooool :)

[marquesbrownlee]

Alrighty then... He stole my name lol

[cusinndzl]

Cool.
