Music on the internet

Just for listening

There is a lot of free music in the world that can be found with no effort. Some of it's pretty good, but finding that subset is often a bit harder. If you like new age music like Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, and David Arkenstone, you should try some of the people on this list:

  • Bjorn Lynne does upbeat newage/melodic techno with a electronic/computerized feel; see him at
  • Skaven has made some incredible electronica in the mod/s3m/it format (yes, most mp3 players can handle that format too).

For other people's enjoyment

Want to make your music downloadable, at no cost to you? MP3.COM used to be the place to do this, but they were bought out and changed focuses entirely.

http://www.soundclick.com seems to offer unlimited hosting, plus gives you some control over the text and the graphics associated with each song. Not clearly divided into different albumbs though.

http://www.iuma.com/ One of the oldest music sites on the net, if not the oldest. You can host at least 30 songs here, but it looks like there is at least some limit, and you don't get much control over the text or graphics associated with your music.
