Well-trafficked site features quite a wealth of solo piano music by popular indie artists.

New, but excellent resource for multiple fingerstyle guitar artists who present full-length songs for free download.

Quick reference page to several free, legal sites. Featured are the solo piano, solo guitar, Christmas, children’s and Christian music below.

Eclectic guitar focussed site with variable selection of streaming and downloadable mp3 tracks featuring…er…guitars. The axeman cometh!

Independent artist collective, many genres. Downloads available at most of the artist sites. The Radio Room highlights unusual stations and sound collections.

A music portal dedicated to contemporary classical and avant garde music; linking sites with freely available mp3’s by several hundred selected contemporary composers.

Small, but tastefully targeted (OK it’s bright, alright?) children’s mp3 music download and streaming service. Not many tracks, but links back to artist’s sites offers more. Includes charts.

Christian mp3 downloads (from here, not from up there silly!) Watch out also for the Catholic Jukebox and the reviews.

Computer games are fun. So too apparently is the background music when it’s remixed and offered as mp3 downloads. Lots of downloads!

Heavy metal fans only. This is your stop. Downloads of all sorts of stuff. Heavy!

Hip Hop. Vinyl singles for sale, free radio streaming, Top 40 and new releases. Couldn’t find any free downloads though.

Free classical music is difficult to find among the many hosting sites. Classic Cat provides a neat overview – sorted by composer and work.

Small and select collection of Asian classical music tracks taken from cassette tape recordings. Worth a visit if you’re an enthusiast.

Like the Blues and ‘olde tyme’ stuff? Then you’ll like the Public Domain mp3’s coming out of this small site. Needs much more to make it really sing and dance, but still a nice alternative to all the indie stuff out there.

Beats, breaks, mixes, shit…
