If you need a special song, type it in the search. And you can specify the search with various filters.

I wonder what the percentage of people who download music for free actually end up buying it?

I can't remember the last time I downloaded music... I guess my wife bought a few albums on iTunes recently, but I haven't for quite some time.
My methods of downloading usually consist of
a: friend's private share who has a huge collection
b:swapping iPods/harddrives and ripping
c: the "lease" approach (using Spotify or another streaming service).
d: underground bands usually have free downloads, or small labels will provide
e: google search something like
intitle:"index.of" (mp3|m3a) BandNameHere -html -php -aps -cf -jsp

These days more and more artists are going w the free download approach. I stick w soundcloud/ mixcloud combo, follow the artists/ labels you like. If it's electronic and its recent there's a big chance that its there, even pirated from accounts no one follows.

funkysouls.com has a big community of people posting links in pretty much every genre of music. Google "site:funkysouls.com [artist name]" and you will probably find a thread with their stuff posted. But those are all file sharing site links so a lot of the old links are dead.
For torrents, I found that rutracker.org has a huge amount of stuff. You will find a lot of discography pages like these that have pretty much every release by an artist:

Of course, to use either of these sites you need to translate Russian but it's not really that hard. Anyway, I was never here...*vanishes in puff of smoke
