Free and Legal!
The Best Free Film, TV, and Game Music Online

Downloading music on the internet is almost as common as breathing these days.  If you have a computer that has a broadband connection to the internet, then you've likely downloaded, at the very least, a sound clip or two.  More likely, you've downloaded full tracks or entire albums already.  Services such as eMusic, iTunes, Yahoo Music, and more recently Amazon.com, have all made it easy to get the music you want and at more affordable prices.  As we know, downloading music has cast the industry into a new era where the lines of ownership, fair-use, and profitability have been put into question.

Applications like the original Napster, Limewire, and a host of other P2P applications have been around for years; giving people the means to download loads of music for free.  Of course, 99% of such downloads are not legal and so the great internet battle of the new millennium was born.

That battle rages on to this day and is only intensifying.  There have been victories for the consumer, and some for big-business, but there have been casualties on both sides as well. The fight is likely to continue for quite some time, so if you are finding yourself embroiled in the crossfire and are looking for some great music that won't cost you a thing AND, at the same time, be legal for you to download, then you have come to the right place. 

Here you will find a list of sites that offer music in a variety of ways: sound clips to streaming tracks to fully downloadable and free tracks!  You will likely find some great music out there that you could not buy, even if you wanted to.  You may discover a new talent that might lead you to buying other music from the composer.   You will inevitably find some new treasure to bring hours of entertainment to your ears. . . and all for free!

So while the battle of DRM wages on, avoid becoming a casualty bypass the entire melee and dive into some great, free music!  Be sure to check back often, as we will continue to add new quality sites to the list.
