This is a non-profit, informational web page, meant to be a reminder of the music we listened to 50 years or so ago.

Important Notes about the music:
Please NOTE that we have made every
effort to make these sound files as
small as possible, for easy playing on your media
player via even a 56k connection. The songs here are
provided at a quality level which is
adequate for computers, but
cannot compare to the outstanding quality of the re-mastered
originals on CD, when played on your stereo. We hope
you will like these samples enough to thank the artists - by
BUYING their CD's. They have all brought us so much pleasure
through the years with their music... Let's tell them "Thank
You!" by buying their CD's & albums!!!
We want to stress the importance of you actually going out
and buying music... If every one of you enjoying this site
goes out and buys ONE CD, it will prove that low-quality
sampling sites like this can benefit everyone - the
publishers, the artists, and the economy!

We get our music from members of:
Projectplaylist.com is an information location tool similar
to Google® and Yahoo!® but devoted entirely to the world of
music. Our purpose is to help you find and enjoy music
legally throughout the web in the same way that other search
engines help you find webpages, images, and other media, but
we also add a social /community twist. We make it easy for
you to create playlists, share your playlists with friends,
and browse playlists of others. We connect you with the
coolest music on the web, and we connect people who are
passionate about music. Music is burgeoning on the web.
Increasingly, artists, record companies, music bloggers,
music websites and music critics are uploading music files
to websites that they control for
promotional or other legal purposes. Our mission
at Project Playlist, Inc. is to organize this rapidly
growing abundance of legal music on the web for the benefit
of the worldwide music community – artists, songwriters,
music distributors, and listeners alike. Our view is that
the more people share their individual passion for music by
sharing playlists, the more music will be created, and the
more the entire music industry will grow.
Projectplaylist.com allows you to discover all of this free
music legally because we respect the rights of copyright
holders and we insist that you do as well. We pay royalties
to songwriters and music publishers, and we respect the
performing artist’s choice. Some performing artists make
their music freely available on the web, others allow you to
listen to only a few freely available songs through a
promotional site, and a few would prefer that none of their
music be heard on the web at all. If an artist tells us that
our search engine is linking to an illegally posted song, we
will immediately take down the link to that music file.
We are in the process of building an index of links to music
files posted on webpages that meet reasonable criteria as
having the legal right to host music files for streaming to
end users. Although we cannot control the music files posted
on webpages by others, we can and do prohibit uploading or
downloading of songs to or from our site. In other words we
do not host music files, nor do we make them available. We
only enable users to find these files and listen to them. We
also require as a condition of the Terms of Use of our site
that you not add to our index any links to webpages that you
know to host illegally posted music files.
Once you find music tracks that you like
through our music search engine (or on another user's
playlist), you can add them to your personal playlist and
then share your playlist with others. You can post your
playlist on your social networking webpage or any other
website, subject to the terms of use of those sites, or you
can email your playlist to friends! We are
constantly adding features to help you find, play and share
the music you love. If you discover a legally posted music
file not in our index, you can add the link to that file to
our index and to your playlist. We ask that you add links
only to songs that you reasonably believe are legally posted
on a legitimate promotional site such as an artist website
or a music blog.
