Any free sites I can go to and listen to a whole cd before I buy it?

Yes. Limewire, kaazaa, bearshare, soulseek, . . . .

http://www.youtube.com/

put the groups name into the youtube search box

and you will get a mixture of moving videos of the group

or recorded versions of the groups songs in video form but with the cd cover or a picture depicting the band

instead of recorded live footage,all will be full versions

check out the boxs to the right of the video clip going downwards ,that is your selection of that band to choose from ,and there maybe several pages look at the last clip by scrolling downwards and you will see 1of1 or 1of30

that is where you are six 6/70 pages into a total of 70

that are the band or of a relevance to the band

I don't know of any where u can hear each whole song ...but many sites (like amazon.com) have clips of each song (30 seconds i think) on the cd....

you can try torrent downloads. most of the new releases are leaked there so you can easily preview a whole album before deciding to buy it

I think itunes lets you listen to some of each song.

Yeah...this is coming from an Arkansan though but you can go to edgelittlerock.com

www.limewire.com You can also burn it to a cd.
