Public domain music includes “a lot of good stuff, especially if you’re a fan of classical, early folk, or early jazz.” Various sites specialize in non-copyright-protected recordings, including Archive.org, LOC.gov/jukebox, IMSLP.org, and FreeMusicArchive.org.
Music blogs, such as Spinner.com and Stereogum.com, often offer artist-supported single-track MP3 downloads. Aggregators of such offerings include HypeM.com, Last.fm, and Ex.fm.
