Berlin - Songbeat on Wednesday announced the official launch of its music discovery and download service, which records streaming versions of songs offered on free services like SeeqPod, Project Playlist and Last.fm to a user's computer and can automatically sync them into an iTunes library. The basic version of the application allows 25 free downloads, while a premium version with unlimited downloads costs $29.99. The questionably-legal service offers this caveat to users: "It is your responsibility to ascertain whether any copyright, patent or other licenses are necessary and to obtain any such licenses to serve and/or create, compress or download such media and content."
