Anyone got any suggestions for free/cheap download sites? I love investigating music and most of my taste seems to be lesser known/acoustic/folk/americana/singer songwriter stuff. I use I Tunes, but it ain't cheap!

abmp3
mp3raid
beemp3
downloads.nl
komp3
bomb mp3

I usually buy my songs, but if there is a song that's not on itunes or I'm being a cheapskate then I'd type into google, for exaple:

holiday dizzee rascal free mp3

Then the websites with the downloads come up with the immediate links

Yeah, 79p is really exorbitant for music.

Ever though of paying for music, freeloaders?

Thanks for the replies, I shall look into these later tonight!

CRM, I do see your point. And I agree strongly with you. When I find an artist I like, I then buy the album or at least the tracks I like. Many of them aren't on I Tunes, but I use CDbaby and MySpace a lot. It's just that I listen to a lot of music and am always up for new ideas, but there's so much music out there.
Ive found loads of artists I like by searching, but have since bought stuff by them all. eg The Harbour Lights, Ian Lang, Martyn Joseph, Barratt Waugh, Friar Rush. All great albums and yes, all purchased legitamately after free downloading (to see if it hits home) in the first place, sometimes off the artists own website.

Fair enough.

Quite into synth music myself...there's a thread on it here and I suggested a few new acts in that vein if anyone wants to check it out.

I used to convert YouTube videos to mp3 through a "vid to mp3" site, but now i've mainly stuck to paying on iTunes. Great quality and of course, it helps the song in question in the charts.

I used to do this

But now they have Vevo and you can't convert it, so I use iTunes now, and quite rightly I suppose.

I remember looking at that thread at being disappointed at the lack of new acts. Must of missed your post Funnily enough I am listening to Parralox's 2nd album on CD at the moment (yes I do own the first). I also own both Marsheaux albums (or 3 as the first is a 2 albums rolled into one). Nice to find a fellow poster who has at least heard of some of the music I buy for a change!!
