For myself
i have downloaded the crimea (http://www.thecrimea.net/) Album but haven't listened to it

same goes for She's lost (http://www.sheslost.co.nz/) an album of kiwi covers


But I have listened to the Brobdingnagian Bards ( and "do virgins taste better" (about dragons), their free stuff here (http://www.soundclick.com/pro/view/03/default.cfm?BandID=106366" target="_blank">www.thebards.net/) free songs, think Irish drinking songs like "The old Dun cow" and "do virgins taste better" (about dragons), their free stuff here (http:)

554055 2007-05-29 03:20:00 You could check out cnet's website as they have an MP3 music download section. The only legit FREE music you will likely find online will be MP3 format and probably from similar sites otherwise it is mostlikely illegal or payfor music from legit sites. A lot of radio stations stream their music over the web if you go to their web sites. There is a little app called Stream ripper which will let you record the music from those sites.
You could try Amazom.com as they are doing MP3 formated music that is DRM free but I think you have to pay for it.

Is this it?
www.download.com


What I do is this: connect an FM wireless transmitter (the type made for iPods and other mp3 players to be heard on a car radio, etc) to your computer speaker or earplug socket, then record using a TV/FM card. Stream Ripper is only $15 USD so it would be cheaper if you have to buy the other components previously mentioned.

Several years ago I managed to take audio from a speaker socket and feed it back into the pc. Cannot recall how exactly I did it, but it worked a treat to make wav or mp3 files.

I think so. I have only ever heard of it, I have never actually used it myself. I think it is also available on versiontracker.com The app I was thinking of picks up the track as it is streamed to your computer from any internet radio station and gets recorded to your HD as a result.

They have put all their albums up as free downloads. There first (Blackout in the redroom) is considered their best and I doubt you could find a negative review of it.

Though I cant tell, I don't like em, but you did ask for free legit music.

554063 2007-05-31 12:33:00 I'm not sure if we can access it from NZ but Warner music is putting their archive of music online for free.

WARNER Music, the world's fourth largest music group, is putting its archive of music video online and making it available for free to fans.

Warner, home to Madonna and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, will work with digital services provider Premium TV to create online TV sites or "digital hubs" that will be organised by artist, genre or label and funded by advertising.

The move is part of the music industry's drive to generate revenue from new sources to offset the fall in CD sales and follows the explosion in popularity of online video.

Warner said the platforms would show previously unseen footage and would eventually be available in different languages.
