Quite newly launched, www.sideload.com offers free msuci to listen and download over the web. Looking at it, it offers quite some interesting music – I was able to easily find Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, Nirvana, U2 and a lot of other high-profile bands in there.
Also, the site integrates with mp3tunes.com, using a plugin called Oboe Locker which you can easily download for free.
So, I wonder how this can all be legal, with allowing you to freely download music. Well, it’s quite simple. Looking at their terms and conditions, it’s written: “Sideload.com does not store any music, but rather links to files publicly available other places on the net. Sideload.com respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same.”
Might be an interesting model, I wonder how long this will last before somebody sues them, as it seems this is getting quite a popular practice in the industry.

Nice site! Another site like that that has been around for a (relatively) long time is http://www.singingfish.com. In fact, it’s due to singingfish that i found your site! (I had searched for “Technologic” by Daft Punk, and the first link was to your site!). Anyways, cool site!
Thanks for the nice words !
