AudioStylites, now at WordPress.com

When we started AudioStylites.com, it was because of an offer to get a free domain name and blog hosting from HyperWebEnable. We were told that it would mean their ads would grace our pages. Why the heck not? You get a [dot]com domain without cost.

Except well, their ads are annoying. They float upon you like a thief in the night, and glitter and animate their way into our eyelids. So, what now?

We happen to like wordpress.com and believe in the software powering it.  So we tried exporting the entire blog to it, and lo and behold. No headaches. No problems either. And no annoying ads.

The move was inevitable.

We are now at http://audiostylites.wordpress.com.  Adjust your browsers effective immediately.

No more Audiostylites.com .. because we don’t want to exchange our souls for a domain name.

Welcome to Audiostylites

Listen. There’s so much free music to download out on the web. And I’m not even talking about the illegal, copyright-infringing digital copies. I’m talking open-source, copyleft, creative commons, free audio released mostly on tiny artist websites or one of the many unknown netlabels.

There’s so much free audio that is beautiful out there, and no one to tell you what to download. At least no one putting some effort at creating editorial reviews of all this output. Audiostylites is an attempt to guide you to what is good and free for your ears and mind.
