The self-satisfaction a musician gets from creating and wrestling a composition they find worthy must be a great feeling, but personal pride and a dollar won't even buy you a 32 ounce diet soda at 7-11.

In this playlist, we've cherry-picked some of the most downloaded artists in our catalog. Take a listen - it's all free.
