I am proud to say that I do not own nor have I ever owned any illegal music. So, there must be an alternative. I frequently visit Youtube for particular songs and constantly listen to Pandora. Most people know what Youtube is at this point. Pandora is an online customizable radio station. You just choose, an artist, a song, or even a genre, and Pandora will begin to play songs based around that selection. Pandora has always had ads to support themselves and to pay off copyrights to their respective artists. The ads and their frequency are beginning to increase, but Pandora is still a great source for free music radio.
Recently (about 5 hours ago), I have been turned on to a new legal website called Jamendo. The idea is rather new and the website has less than 1 million members. It is so new to the point that spellcheck on my blog is getting upset when I write Jamendo. Jamendo is a free music downloading/ radio website that is free and legal. The only downside is that you probably haven't heard of any of the artists of the 20,000 albums on this website because it mostly new artists that want to spread their music without having to pay a fortune onto the record companies. Jac, at hearing this, said that this was really just another upside. Jamendo allows a new outlet for indie artists to disburse their music. It's rather exciting.
