Use the Web to Sample New Music
All the free tracks on the Internet let us sample what's out there, which makes it easier to spend money on the albums we know we'll like. And iTunes and Amazon are great for downloading that new single you just heard on the radio without having to blow $15 for the whole album.
We're especially fond of music blogs and sites like Hype Machine that can give you a downloadable sample of the hottest tracks as well as a great introduction to niche genres. Also, almost all music review sites and music magazines -- Pitchfork, Spinner, RollingStone, Blender, Rcrdlbl, among others -- offer free downloads.
You can also head over to Myspace Music, last.fm, iLike or imeem to hear thousands of new albums and tracks. But you'll need a constant Web connection, since it's streaming-only. And you can't take the tracks on a portable player.
Also, it's pretty standard these days for bands to post free downloads on their Web sites.

I download music in MP3 format instead of buying whole albums in cd format. Why pay for what you don't like.
I also stream music over the internet but that is threatened all the time from corps that want to privatize everything- no public radio waves, tv, media, news, water, seed for food. It could happen...sorry about the tangent

The best music site out there is Grooveshark.com. At the risk of sounding like a pitchman, each user can upload their own library and distribute it for any user to add individual tracks to personalized playlists. You can easily discover new music, find really obscure stuff, and distribute your playlists to friends, myspace, facebook, blogs, etc. Yeah, you can only listen to these playlists online, but if you want to buy a song, it only costs $.99 each like it would on iTunes. I could go on and on about this site. I'm on there several times a day, and it's great for listening to music at the office.
