Fill Your iPod with Free Tunes

Sick of the iTMS and DRM? Why not check out Common Tunes.

This site is a community directory of freely available music with many of the files available via bit-torrent. And if you yourself happen to be a musician, you can upload your songs to the directory. From Boing Boing: "Users, bands and music bloggers can upload their own music for distribution via BitTorrent or link to legitimate hosted files on other sites and share the feeds as podcasts with friends." Not all the files are in MP3, but all of them should be easily enough converted into an iTunes / iPod-compatible format. The coolest feature, I think, is that all the files are nicely tagged by keywords and a list of common tags appear in the right hand column of the site.

Go to mp3.com, click on "Free music", read: Welcome to the MP3.com Listening Room. Here you can find all the free streams of new albums and tracks as we get them. Windows Media Player is required. Note: streams Note: Windows Media Player *required* Now go to CommonTunes. Look for "Free Music" button. There isn't one. Oh wait, it's *all* free music! And it's podcast. Only "negative": they use BitTorrent to download files most of the time. Gee, I guess they want to save on their bandwidth costs. I think it's a fair trade for FREE, DOWNLOADABLE, PLAY-ON-ANYTHING music. :-)
