There are lots of free, legal ways to get music on the 'Nets. Too many to keep track of really. So here are some to get you started filling up your hard drive and slowing down your computer. Unless you like porn. In which case your computer is probably already full.



Free Albums Galore has hundreds of complete records available for download. There's a good mix of genres, and bands you may actually have heard of like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Danger Doom, Explosions In the Sky, Meat Puppets and many others. There is a lot of classical music, too: Bach, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Dvorak, Haydn, Mendelssohn and others grace the list.

What the World Needs Now must be a great song. Mr. Bungle covered it. So did Aimee Mann and Tiny Tim and lots more.

Reloda has a lot of really good indie mp3s and live songs. Check out the Built to Spill bootleg.

largehearted boy is another one with lots of indie shows, mp3s and CD reviews.

3hive has a lot of new music by bands I've (mostly) never heard of. I like it.

This should get you started. You've gotta make a dent in your iPod's storage capacity somehow. Stay tuned for updates.
