free music downloads? legal would be nice?

You could try Sentero (www.sentero.net). It's not actually free, but if you register (which is free) they give you $2.50 in your account and songs are only 25 cents, so that's ten songs free and it's legal. The only absolutely free place is probably myspace.

check MySpace. Fan myspace sites [in the music section] often post downloadable songs.

[you don't have to have a myspace, but if you're on yahoo.answers, chances are that you do]

or www.purevolume.com

You have to search a bit, and i don't know if it's legal [i'm betting not]

but it's pretty easy.

try myspace. but don't expect to get the entire album of a particular band or artist. but it's absolutely legal and no cost at all

downloads.nl is a pretty good site. I haven't been able to find a few songs on it, but it's worth a try.

You're looking for the impossible, but for songs posted out there: http://skreemr.com/

If you want a p2p app, soulseek.

just go to iTunes. would it kill you to pay .99 per song? its really not much.
