Jamendo, the largest global platform for free and legal music downloads and isoHunt, one of the leading search engines for BitTorrent downloads, have agreed to join forces to support the dissemination of free music by independent artists.

 Through Jamendo, indie artists can directly reach a worldwide audience, while users can enjoy an unlimited music experience. The quality of the music along with a smart model for distribution make jamendo.com the ultimate destination for music discovery.

Jamendo's music catalogue of almost 10.000 albums and over 150.000 songs published under Creative Commons licenses is now fully accessible to the users of isoHunt. Jamendo's torrents are systematically highlighted in search results, similar to the white tabs designating isoHunt verified torrent releases. This, together with stylized HTML descriptions in Jamendo torrents, ensures users don't miss great music from independent artists who want their music to be downloaded and listened to legally. Jamendo's music can be accessed by simply searching for "jamendo", the artist's name or the special keyword "CreativeCommons".

„We fully embrace Creative Commons and other free licensed works distributed using BitTorrent" - stated Gary Fung, the founder of isoHunt - "Jamendo is a treasure trove of CC licensed music, and I'm happy to announce the partnership between our sites". (Example)

Jamendo and isoHunt's message is clear: the BitTorrent protocol combined with CC music from Jamendo results in a great (and legal) experience for both the consumers and the  artists.
