I just discovered this site the other day and you can stream full songs online for free. When you sign up you get 50 credits for web songs, which means basically the songs are selected in your profile and you can listen to them online anytime you want. Song downloads are $0.80 and there are discounts on some of the albums. You can also buy physical CDs on the site and trade CDs for a small fee.

The beauty of Lala that separates it from the iTunes, Amazon, E-music, Napster and Rhapsodys of the net is that it’s free to sign up and listen to full songs. You could listen for hours on end and never buy anything. Of course the site is hoping they can get you to buy some stuff.

As I’ve mentioned before there are some great sites to listen to free music: freenapster.com, imeem.com, last.fm, myspace.com, virb.com and purevolume.com. Lala.com should be added to that list because there are songs on there that aren’t available on any of the other sites. Basically if a band has any distribution whatsoever you will find the songs on one of the above sites. What’s also nice is that the streaming quality on Lala.com is mostly near 128 kbps.
