WARNING - POSSIBLY NOT LEGAL! We're still trying to work out how this site can still be operating. We think it's because it's a Russian site and they have different rules regarding copyright? Whatever the reason, it still features very high on the Google search results, so we guess it has a charmed life. Features a massive amount of mainstream music for download and streaming. We're doubtful if this will last long!\\

Super minimalist music streaming search engine offers a nice range of legal music for streaming. The tracks are split out into genres which makes it easier to locate stuff you'll enjoy, but the Spartan design may put some people off. The site has partnered with Copyseeker to stop infringing tracks being uploaded. \\

We don't normally feature plain old MP3 search sites here, but this one comes with a bit of a difference. For one thing, the interface is beautifully clean, and there's none of the advertising spam you find on other similar sites. It's French, but you can get the hang of the interface easily. There's a nice selection of tracks for streaming and download, along with associated YouTube videos. Worth a look.\\

Billed as a music webzine, this somewhat rudimentary site features music from over 800 major and independent labels. Unlike most of the advert laden rubbish out there, this site actually contains legal tracks for download and streaming rather than just links to file lockers. Definitely worth bookmarking! \\

Nice streaming site offers 11 million songs for free streaming in a variety of genre radio stations. It's owned by Peter Gabriel - yes that one - and the key feature is the search. Just enter one song or genre name and the site will deliver a bunch of cool songs you're gonna enjoy. Definitely worth a look.\\

It's nice to find a geniune collection of free and legal music for download as opposed to streaming, and especially good when it's wrapped up in a great looking magazine format. It's all indie material, but curated so you can be sure the quality stays high. Definitely should be on your watch list or RSS feed reader.\\

Does 11,000 free downloadable MP3 tracks from great indie bands sound good? Excellent. The collection of tracks features over 10,000 artists, and comes wrapped in a deliciously accessible catalog covering all the main genres. The first track I listened to was awesome, which bodes well for the rest of the site's quality. Oh and artists share in the ad revenue, so help them out.\\

We're generally not a big fan of this type of advertising heavy site, but in this case we're making an exception, since they do actually serve up a lot of tracks for streaming and some for download. Current material is also on offer, and all of it legal.\\

Another in the increasingly commercial streaming aggregator sites. They're easy to spot, lots of ads, all music is provided by YouTube and Vimeo and TuneIn and the download function always comes with advertising conditions. Nevertheless it's a decent enough interface with lots of luscious music for playlists and streaming.\\

Quirky French originated site features over 4041 hours of music apparently, available for download and streaming. We're basically talking 56,000 tracks wrapped up in a slightly impenetrable interface, but probably worth a look.\\

Indie artist portal with thousands of tracks for downloading and streaming in a wide range of genres. The site is designed to help artists make the most of their fan club and merchandising opportunities which is cool. Free sign up needed, but it seems to be benign.

THE WORLD'S LARGEST FREE & LEGAL MUSIC WIKI
Here you will find links to millions of FREE and completely LEGAL music to download and stream.
Subscribe to our free RSS feed, Twitter or Facebook page to stay updated with regular Red Ferret offers.

PLEASE READ:
Welcome to our music wiki. To add your site email us with the details you want. Do note that the system will not make your links live until they have been OK'd by one of the wiki moderators. We have had to implement these drastic measures because of a huge amount of spam to the Wiki, so sorry about that.

Oh, and please try to avoid sending through single band sites who only provide a small number of free tracks. Multi artist labels are cool though.


Thanks very much to all those who have contributed to and edited this page.

The idea behind this wiki was originally inspired by this Kuro5hin thread.

Please remember that this is about FREE & LEGAL music, so please don't waste time adding in commercial subscription or copyrighted stuff. Or pay per track download services, unless they offer lots of full free tracks.
