TorrentTunes — A free, BitTorrent-based music streaming service.
TorrentTunes is an open-source, BitTorrent-based music service, like Rdio or Spotify, where you can stream any music, or share your own library of music with others.
Each individual song is tagged using MusicBrainz, and shared as a .torrent file using the client's built-in, LibTorrent-based BitTorrent client, on publicly available trackers.
TorrentTunes works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and also has a web client at torrenttunes.tk.
