Snocap, the latest startup from Napster founder Sean Fanning, has just launched the beta version of its “Linx” service, which sells unencrypted, unprotected MP3s through MySpace. hi5, Bebo, Multiply and any other site that supports Flash embeds) can post a widget that plays the tracks and allows you to buy them right away. Indie band “The Format” is currently using the widgets on its MySpace page, where you can buy songs from their album “Dog Problems”. Tracks cost $0.79 each, which Snocap automatically charges to your Paypal account. However, artists have control over the format, pricing and copy protection - so it’s possible that DRM’d tracks could also be sold through the system (sigh).
