Free and Legal Music Downloads from Upcoming Artists

Sunday August 31, 2008
I like free music, but finding good free music that is legal to download can be a problem. You usually only find a few files at a time. You also want to avoid sites that claim to offer free or very cheap music downloads, but are scams instead.

It is a pleasure to actually find a site which is totally legal, totally free, and offers lots of songs from lots of artists. At this posting Jamendo offers 11587 albums by 6562 artists for free download or streaming. You can download or stream the music without registering, but if you register you can create play lists, rate music, and participate in a number of interactive features.

The music on Jemendo is provided free under various Creative Commons licenses. Some even allow you to use the music commercially and or create derivative works. You will find music of just about every type you can imagine. This site should keep the music lover busy for a good long while.
