Ventura County Library (VCL) announces significant upgrades to its digital music offering. The library launched Freegal Music in April 2013, and in August launched the 4.0 update to the Freegal Music Service.

Ventura County Library’s patrons may now enjoy significant new benefits with Freegal 4.0, including: access to over 4 million new songs from 12,000 labels from around the world; a brand-new interface with a new-generation search and browse function; the ability to download from a selection of 8,000 popular DRMfree music videos and other crowd-pleasing features.

By the end of September, the library’s digital music collection will top 7 million songs, from over 28,000 labels including Sony Music Entertainment’s catalog of legendary artists. “We are very excited to offer a service like this that delivers great music, compatibility with lots of devices and simplicity of use. We think this upgrade will be incredibly popular with our patrons and will help the library in marketing all its services to the community,” said Jackie Griffin, Ventura County Library Director.

Freegal Music is available online from any computer with a broadband internet connection through the Ventura County eLibrary at http://157.145.215.81:81/rpa/default/RPA_redr.htm.

All online Ventura County eLibrary resources are free with your VCL card.
