Link to October 15 Rockford Register-Star article, "Music download program off to slow start at Rockford library".
Excerpt: The Rockford Public Library’s new free music download program was met with limited use during the first day and a half.
By midday Wednesday, card holders had downloaded just 47 songs off Freegal, a new product the library is offering that allows up to three music downloads a week at no charge.
“Like any new service at the library, I would expect that Freegal usage will grow exponentially as our customers try it out, see how easy it is and then tell all their friends and family,” said library spokeswoman Emily Hartzog. “Over time, we’ll be able to identify trends and have a better idea about how our customers are using it.”
The library has an overall limit of 623 songs a week, which resets at the beginning of each week.
