Magnatune is John Buckman's Indie label project. The goal is to find a way to run a record label in the Internet Reality: file trading, Internet Radio, musicians' rights - the whole nine-yards. John has just released a free iPhone app which allows you to listen to the complete Magnatune catalogue.
"Basically, we mimicked the iPod player on the iPhone (so that it'd be easy to use), except that you can play the entire magnatune catalog, for free, from your iphone, and you don't need to download any music. I'm hoping it will be very popular since it will be the only way to play albums of music through an iPhone app: all the other music apps I've seen for the iPhone choose the music for you (ie, pandora, last.fm) and are not album-oriented."
One of the nice features of the app is that it remembers what song you're listening to, so if you have to leave the app to do something else on your iPhone, when you come back it asks you if you want to continue playing the song you were listening to when you left.
