Jamendo is a Luxembourg-based music website and an open community of independent artists and music lovers. A subsidiary of Belgian company Llama Group,[1][2] and Independent Management Entity (IME) since 2019.
Originally, Jamendo was a music platform under Creative Commons licenses. As of October 2015, Jamendo no longer presents itself as such but rather as a free streaming service for personal use. The stated purpose of Jamendo is to bring together musicians and music lovers, while providing opportunities for artists to become better known and earn money through its licensing services.
The name "Jamendo" is a portmanteau derived from a fusion of two musical terms: "jam session" and "crescendo".[3]
At the heart of Jamendo lies an economic model that provides free music download and streaming for Internet users, while allowing artists to sell commercial licenses of their music for commercial use, such as music synchronization for audiovisual creations or background music in a public space through Jamendo Licensing.[3]
Based in Luxembourg, Jamendo has a community of 3 million users in 2017.
In late 2013, the catalog has 400,000 titles, shared by over 30,000 artists from over 150 countries.[4]
In May 2015, the homepage of the site indicates a total of 460,000 titles and 250 million downloads since the launch.
In December 2016, 40,000 artists from more than 150 countries are part of Jamendo, sharing more than half a million songs to be streamed and/or downloaded for free.[5]
