The only"free" music I've ever gotten was from eMusic.com. They have a one time introductory deal where you can get 25 or 50 free songs then you can drop out without any further obligation. (No big, popular hits though...obscure bands and live performances for the most part). There are places where you can download music but they are notorius for virus' and spyware...not to mention they aren't exactly legal. I'd just download from your cd collection and pay the .99 per song at ITunes.
