www.music.download.com offers free, legal mp3s.

- Isn't it scary? People jump to illegal things as soon as they can.

- Good site for new musicians and more obscure ones as well. I enjoy the "world" music tab myself. Lots of interesting stuff there.

- agreed. try downloading bittorrent or Transmission if have a mac, otherwise i've heard Azereus is good for windows. once done, you simply download the small file from the address above and drag it into the bittorrent program. once that has finished downloading be sure to keep the file "seeding" to help others out. remember, the program relies on sharing the file between people.

I used to use http://www.kazaa.com/, but in the past year or two, I've started to get notes talking about licenses.

You should try http://www.limewire.com/. That's what I use now. I like it so far. Its user friendly, I think.

You can always try both and you decide. Click on the links and there's a part that talks about free downloads.

Hope you like.

if you're looking for a specific song i'd check beemp3.com first.
if you just want to listen to it you can stream it for free via deezer.com
.
if you're looking do download in bulk, though, i'd suggest torrenting (bitcoment utorrent, whichever. they all get the job done).
unless you're searching for something really obscure that almost no-one has, in which case a P2P might be your best bet (i'd go with eMule, it's got everything).
.
Happy Leeching :)

  I've resorted to TotalRecorder which records what your soundcard is playing and so I record the music as I listen to it online through AOL or any other music location. I really hate the ones that jack the treble up so the quality sucks... I can then save the file as an MP3 and whala! I have recorded some songs off the online videos too.

  I loved multiply.com...that is still in existance...but they now have prevented people from downloading music (those jerks!)

You can try going to an actual band or artist's site. Particularly Indie bands. Many up and comming artists, as well as established ones, have sample songs from albums you can try out and keep. They want to "be heard" and it's easier for them to market themselves on the internet(cheaper too), get heard and have their talent spread by word of mouth or Blogs. MySpace.com has many such groups and artitsts with legal, free downloadable content. I grabbed some today from The Drake Brothers,online.( Big plug here, the guys are pals of mine).

Got to www.download.com and download : Morphues. It can download music, vids, and picuters!
Comments
- it's easier to find those sites and programs if you search for them with the correct spelling, ie: Morpheus. ;)
  I use Limewire mostly. Just go to Limewire.com and download the free version. Turn off your upload option in my opinion. A lot of companies won;t nail you for illegal downloading, but when you're uploading it and sharing it with the world, you're a worse pirate.

Well, i don't know the answer, but I don know that if you're looking for LEGAL downloads, Liomewire is NOT the way to go since it is ILLEGAL look up Limewire legalities. You'll find that it contains illegally aquired music. Basically, it gives away music that should be payed for, but isn't. Short version: the music is Pirated. Your choice, your morals.

- Legality and morality aren't one and the same.
