    I've never really been too keen on Jamendo, sure there are lots of great stuff there, if you like hunting it down. Plus it only has garage bands(if you will)

    I have started looking around for legally free music ...and when you begin to look there's loads of it around. Obviously Jamendo ...but also download.com, we7, spiralfrog (for US users I believe), and netlabels are other good places to start. Fingertips, largeheartedboy, 3hive and freealbums are decent mp3 blogs too. And those are just for starters.

    As for pay sites, Magnatunes, we7, and Amazon are good places to start.

    Re: Where do you get your music

    To be honest: I do more streaming now.

    StreamTuner and Last.FM are my two major points for music. I am also a sirius radio subscriber, so I sometimes listen to sirius online.

    Then, I do online playlists like projectplaylist.com

    If I absolutely have to get it on mp3, I resort to old school newsgroups:

    alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.*

    alt.binaries.mp3.*

    I'm a vinyl hound. If its worth having, its worth having a good copy.

    I have an Amazon credit card, and when it accumulates enough points, I get free Amazon money. That translates into a couple free CDs every few months. I also sometimes browse used CD stores for cheap, obscure albums.

    I occasionally trade CDs with my friends.

    For streaming, I like somafm.com, paddyrock.com, musopen.com.

    And I've started going to more live shows. By luck, one of my favorite bands (Calexico) is based in the same town where I live, and they play free shows now and then.

    Re: Where do you get your music

    I primarily listen to Indie Pop Rocks and Groove Salad on somafm.com

    Saves me digging through my playlist all the time changing stuff, and allow me to hear new music. When I hear something new that I like I will head over to TPB or if not there I will browse google until I find some more songs by the artist.

    Re: Where do you get your music

    Amazon Music Store, or some used CD shops in the area. Black and Read and Wax Trax come to mind. I would go down the darker road of bit torrent, but honestly most of the music on the pirate bay and the like is rubbish, and there is something about going to a real music store and browsing through the bins to find some hidden gem. You kids wouldn't know about that though would ya.

    EDIT: Ok, so it's not all rubbish, but all the good stuff has no seeds.
