ILike

iLike is a website that allows users to download and share music. The website makes use of a sidebar that is used with Apple's iTunes. The program and sidebar are not required in order to use the site but allow for ease in discovering new artists. Although the website is still in a somewhat beta version, it is open to anyone. The site had attracted around half a million users in the four months since launching. This includes major label artists as well as independent artists.
