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.

Soulseek. Has been around for years. Still haven't found a better place for obscure stuff (but all music, really). <a title="http://abc.com/" href="http://abc.com/" rel="dofollow">http://abc.com/</a>

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 haven't downloaded music in at least a year, maybe two, but I'm curious to hear what the new LimeWire or Bear Share is.

Do a google image search for the artist and the album name and you almost always find a blog that has it with a rapidshare download.
- And if you like it, support the artist.kaptenfest

It's getting harder and harder to find older stuff these days, it's usually just the new releases, but anyway I google the artist, title followed by the word rapidshare or mediafire etc.
If desperate ill do a search for artist title followed by index of. Rarely works but managed it a few times in the past.
- using "blogspot" instead of "rapidshare" (etc) works too.fresnobob

searching google with
filetype:zip daft punk
seems to bring up a few things of interest. you could replace the "zip" with "mp3" for individual files

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
