Last month, Free Music Archive director Cheyenne Hohman said that the digital library was going to shut down imminently due to funding shortages. Hohman has now revealed that the FMA will live on at a new home: Camera gear marketplace KitSplit has acquired the FMA. In her post, Hohman wrote, “In the coming weeks, we will reopen artist/curator uploads and our Music Submission form and resume our regularly scheduled audio weirdness, curated playlist posts, and new releases here on our blog.”

New Jersey independent radio station WFMU launched the Free Music Archive in 2009. The digital library includes high-quality and legal downloads that users can listen to, remix, and share, so long as they don’t sell anything found on the site.
