[diane]

Okay, maybe I am the last one to this, but Amazon has 1587 free songs available. Here is the listing.

I tried but couldn't figure it out. I did two hundred last night and just planned to do that each day. But if someone could figure it out that would rock.

Get as much Lo Fidelity All-stars that you can they are awesome.

I'm not usually big on the 'new' stuff. so if you're like me and like mostly obscure/indie music, these should tickle you in some way. These were always my favorite.

[both the "bedtime" and "afternoon" sets are quite nice radios. Includes downloads for each song featured]

http://www.epitonic.com/
[though long since abandoned and slightly broken; the collection of Independent music is choice.]

[smart-music.net has since been abandoned then squatted by a subscription service. But oddly enough archive.org caught many of the MP3's they featured. check any pre 2007 for
potential gems. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://smart-music.net]

Another interesting resource often overlooked is a bands official site. Ive found dozens of free downloads from official sites.

There a pretty cool site if your into indipendent artists. All kinds of stuff Rock,Metal, alternative, punk and a hell of a lot more. they have not updated in a few month but all the downloads are free.

I can recommend Miles Davis and Steppenwolf.

The song by Trapt is worth a download

I second this. Also, "Paralyzed" by Bob Mould is worth a listen.

Another free indie music site: rcrdlbl.com
They partner up with indie artists and release a single. Very cool way to find out about some very cool bands.

Great thread by the way

Oh hey, thanks.

I got into Pandora, but obviously, you can't download from there. It's got a great mix and the way that it recommends stuff is really great I almost never hear a song I don't like.

[inertianinja]

there are tons of songs available via the blogs that www.hypem.com aggregates.

honestly i don't know if it's legal, unless the blogs are allowed to post the songs if it's done in an editorial context. i don't know copyright law, but i am a lawyer and it doesn't sound likely :)

http://www.spiralfrog.com has MANY MANY MORE. All legal and free. The site pays the recording companies via ad revenue.

DRM'ed? I would assume so.
