23,703 itemsWelcome to Netlabels

Welcome to the Netlabels collection at the Internet Archive. This collection hosts complete, freely downloadable/streamable, often Creative Commons-licensed catalogs of 'virtual record labels'.

These 'netlabels' are non-profit, community-built entities dedicated to providing high quality, non-commercial, freely distributable MP3/OGG-format music for online download in a multitude of genres. Styles include:

- melodic electronica (e.g. Observatory Online, Please Do Something )
- minimal house (e.g. Thinner, Textone )
- exotica/kitsch/eclectic (e.g. Comfort Stand)
- rock/mellower indie (e.g. Sundays In Spring, MASA Records, Sessions )
- retro bleep (e.g. 8 Bit Peoples)
- ambient/noise (e.g. Webbed Hand Records, Orgasmo Macabro, Zeromoon, Hazard Records )

You can subscribe to the Netlabels Collection RSS feed to get dynamically updated info on new netlabel collection-specific uploads.

[IMPORTANT - We recommend that netlabel owners use the http://www.archive.org/create/ITEMNAME method to make new items for now! If you're a netlabel owner who is having trouble, please read these instructions carefully - hopefully they will help, and sorry if the new method is confusing to you. UPDATE: Ekztoplazm.com is hosting a great, unofficial third-party guide to setting up your netlabel - check it out!]

[NOTE: Those interested in adding their netlabel to the Internet Archive's collections should read this messageboard post carefully and then contact simon at archive dot org.]
