Comfort Stand Recordings is an American, independent, internet record label which offers dozens and dozens of free MP3 selections from a variety of musicians and various in-house acts. To this date, they have over 84 albums and 17 singles. Many of the singles contain b-sides.
A feature on their site is the ability to download an album, complete with artwork and other things, in a zipped format or as individually file by file. The music falls well under a Creative Commons license, which allows for not-for-profit sharing of the tracks.
Wil Wheaton of Star Trek fame, among other actors, has praised the site as a noteworthy one.
The website proudly proclaims, from their introductory page, "Welcome to Comfort Stand Recordings, a community-driven label where all releases are free with artwork and liner notes. We strive to bring you recordings that we find interesting, compelling and downright enjoyable. Everybody needs free music."
As of April 2006 the label has "called it quits" due to other projects.
