Wonderful link and resource! Thanks so much for sharing it. I'm listening to the Folk section, the songs rated under "Most Interesting" and just...Wow.

Here is an interesting find: The Free Music Archive

This is part of what they say in their about page:

The Free Music Archive is an interactive library of high-quality, legal audio downloads.

Every mp3 you discover on The Free Music Archive is pre-cleared for certain types of uses that would otherwise be prohibited by copyright laws that were not designed for the digital era. These uses vary and are determined by the rightsholders themselves (Please see our FAQ) who feel that allowing a degree of free cultural access is beneficial not only to their own pursuits, but to our society as a whole.

Inspired by Creative Commons and the open source software movement, the FMA provides a legal and technological framework for curators, artists, and listeners to harness the potential of music sharing.

Every artist page will have a bio and links to the artists’ home page for users to learn more about the music they discover via the Free Music Archive.

We also seek to compensate artists directly. Artist, album and song profiles will contain links to buy the full album from the artist and/or label’s preferred vendor(s).

Users can also “tip” an artist if they like what they hear, sending a donation directly to the artists’ PayPal account.

Artist profiles include tourdates, encouraging users to step away from the glowing computer screen and see some real live music.

You can navigate by Curator or by Genre.

So if you intend to visit, just tell your relatives not to worry if they don't see you for a while and enjoy!

From the above link I found another link to lots more free music. The only one I've downloaded so far is an EP called Norbetto Lobo, which is an instrumental acoustic piece. There are three MP3's included in the download. Most of the zip files come with a password, so make sure you note these down if you arn't intending to open the files immediately.

I was looking for some images to add to my post for todays giveaway and came across the following album. I only clicked on the image because I thought it would be ideal for that infinite jigsaw we were given back in February, but when downloading the image realized that 50Mb was a little too larg just for an image. Anyway on unzipping the package I found an album by Joanna Newsom called The Milk Eyed Mender

If you like acoustic pieces with unusual female vocals you'll probably like this album.
I've checked it out and you can listen to excerpts by following the first link below, though from that link the album is not free. All the links I've provided are labelled green with respect to trustworthiness using the WOT rating (Web of Trust) - I've dumped McAfee's Site Advisor for the WOT scale as it seems more reliable:
