<p><a href="http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?storycode=1037464" target="_blank">MusicWeek</a> reported that ad-supported music service and download store, <a href="http://www.we7.com" target="_blank">We7</a>, which Peter Gabriel co-founded, is rolling out a new monetization model whereby its users get rewarded with points for their session time which can be redeemed for ad-free days of music.  In addition, an ad-free subscription service will be offered as the portal’s premium tier.  The news comes just shy of SpiralFrog’s announcement last month that it will be <a href="http://www.wearelistening.org/blog/spiralfrog-closes/">shutting down</a>.  SpiralFrog, a competing <a href="http://www.wearelistening.org/blog/ad-supported-free-downloads/">ad-supported music service</a>, was unable to sustain its business model.</p>
