Kristen has a good point. I do the same thing… Actually, I’m ripping CD’s as I type. I just checked out about 12 CD’s from my library. If it sucks, no commitment. I don’t know where they get the music from, but I’ve found a lot of the same bands I listen to, plus discovered amazing indie bands.

The library system near me has a large collection of CDs that you can borrow with a library card. I like to order CDs online through the library system website, they notify you by e-mail when something came into where you requested to pick it up, and you get what you ordered for a week. I then rip songs from the CDs onto my computer and voila! free music!

Yahoo’s “Launchcast” (free internet radio) is also a very good source for music. It sounds a lot like Pandora (I haven’t used Pandora myself) in that it’s a “free internet radio with recommendations”. In Lanchcast you just rate different songs and different artists, and naturally, the more you rate the more customized your radio station becomes. You can also listen to pre-made radio stations or, alternatively, other listener’s customized stations! It’s really cool. My older brother introduced it to me 7 years ago, and I’ve been a fan ever since.

Hayden – I’m a YouTube fan as well, although I usually use it for music videos, covers, or live concert recordings rather than studio tracks.
