Free (legal) music

[laurapalmer]

know of any good sites where you can download free music (legally)?

my favorite site is:

music.download.com/?tag=navtab (cnet downloads)

i've downloaded cat power, yeah yeah yeahs, air and lots of others. usually they only have one or two songs per group/musician but it's still cool.

oh yes, that site is great I download a lot from there, it is really a great way to discover new artists


a lot of artists also offer free mp3s on their own website, for example:

The Dresden Dolls: www.dresdendolls.com/downloads_n_lyrics/index.htm

Gabriela Kulka: gabakulka.com/out/eng/index.htm#mp3
(I'm so in love with her music I have to get her albums as soon as possible)

Julie Doiron: www.juliedoiron.com/html/music.html

Songs: Ohia: www.songsohia.com/media

....

general:

www.epitonic.com/

insound.com/

betterpropaganda.com/

(they partly might overlap a little with each other and music.download.com)


if you speak german you might also find this site helpful:
tonspion.de/
it posts little reviews and links to legal mp3s


and last but not least: www.archive.org/details/etree
this is a site with legal bootlegs, i.e. audience recordings that were made and posted with permission of the artist. a lot of the shows are in lossless format, but some also as mp3s
