Sites For Downloading (Legal) Free Music

If you are tired of the ‘same old – same old’ music you hear on the radio and are looking for something new, finding sites which cater to budding musicians is an excellent place to look. I used to be a huge fan of mp3.com about 10 years ago (before commercial music took it over) as it was a great place to find good quality amateur music.

A couple of sites I have come across recently seem to be in the same spirit:

Both are artist-centric and are not focused on promoting the latest radio single. Additionally, if you decide to purchase any music from artists, the site gives a sizable portion directly to the artist.

    With out a doubt, the best site for free and legal music is Archive.org (etree.org). Every artist must agree to the let people down load their music or their music will not permitted on the site. Most shows are recorded by “local taper’s” who upload the shows to the site. There can be several tapings of the same show so it’s easy to find a quality download.. This is a live music site with thousand’s of shows in quality FLAC or lower grade MP3. You can stream or download as much as you like all legally without charge…

    Jam on good people… http://www.archive.org/browse.php?collection=etree&field=%2Fmetadata%2Fcreator
