There are a number of places on the Internet that you can get free music (both free as in beer and free as in speech). Take a look!
Sick of paying $17+ for a CD? Looking for free, or really cheap music online, without the risk of violating copyright or getting in trouble with the network folks? Here are some resources for finding that music online. Note that they're not *all* free, but many give away free music to get you to subscribe to their services. You aren't likely to find the latest Brittany or Good Charlotte for free, but you are likely to find a lot of very good music if you take the time to look.
