- postalblowfish7, on 05/15/2008, -4/+34***** THE RIAA
- rlray216, on 05/15/2008, -0/+20Awesome list - this makes the favorites list.
- tylerromes, on 05/15/2008, -4/+19where's nuTsie.com? You can upload your own iTunes library to the site and access it from anywhere (including my BlackBerry). Pretty ridiculous.

free, streaming, easy, legal. dig in. - RecoDesign, on 05/15/2008, -3/+18Id like to bust one on the Busted Tees girl.

- tropican8, on 05/15/2008, -1/+10How have I not heard about Grooveshark until now? From my understanding you can upload and stream your entire music collection, listen to anyone else's, and if someone purchases tracks from your collection through them, you get 50% of the profits to spend on music. What format is available for purchase you ask? Whatever the uploader has made available. Including DRM-free lossless.
It looks like they have gotten a lot of labels on board too: http://www.grooveshark.com/labels-list
Q&A here: http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9035/Q&%3BA+With+Groo ... - alanocu, on 05/15/2008, -0/+9nice list, thank you!
- ElBeh, on 05/15/2008, -1/+1023. nin.com ;)
- prestige, on 05/15/2008, -0/+7I'm sure I've seen that "Service Temporarily Unavailable" site more than 22 times.
RIAA +1 - jonfredric, on 05/15/2008, -8/+17Hmmm...I would estimate a good 80% of these sites are illegal.
- yunus, on 05/15/2008, -1/+8Piratebay Torrentspy mininova all strangely missing.
- socivitus, on 05/15/2008, -1/+8Blip is amazing, but I think Playlist.com should have made #23, it's one of my personal favorites.
- shark72, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6Sorry, your estimate is incorrect.
What the articles author may not have understood is that unlike terrestrial radio, the RIAA gets a cut of royalties from net radio. So, when you use last.fm, Pandora, or many of the other sites on the list, the RIAA makes a little money. - Thrilltone, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6Pandora is my favorite. YouTube deserves a mention. That's where Thrilltone gets all it's music.
- Shakermaker, on 05/15/2008, -3/+9***** I hate audiophiles.
- mrzeero, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4I get a 503 error.
- Modestexcuse, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Phftt, I'll digg this one without even reading it. That headline is quite catchy :)
- paulofmandown, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4I'm very impressed with this website.
But damn do your and my musical tastes differ. - zephyr42, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Pandora really is fantastic, I've discovered so much new music that I would never have found before.
- mastercheif, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Needs more waffles
- Jorin, on 05/15/2008, -1/+5Score one for corporate censorship:
Dear Pandora Visitor,
We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.
We believe that you are in Canada (your IP address appears to be ***.***.***.***). If you believe we have made a mistake, we apologize and ask that you please contact us at pandora-support@pandora.com
If you are a paid subscriber, please contact us at pandora-support@pandora.com and we will issue a pro-rated refund to the credit card you used to sign up. If you have been using Pandora, we will keep a record of your existing stations and bookmarked artists and songs, so that when we are able to launch in your country, they will be waiting for you.
We will be notifying listeners as licensing agreements are established in individual countries. If you would like to be notified by email when Pandora is available in your country, please enter your email address below. The pace of global licensing is hard to predict, but we have the ultimate goal of being able to offer our service everywhere.
We share your disappointment and greatly appreciate your understanding.
Sincerely,
Tim Westergren
Founder - shagg187, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3add tagoo.ru to the list as well :)
- Shakermaker, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Oh, don't get me wrong - people that rip MP3's at 128 or lower bug the crap out of me, but when people start whining that a 320kb rip isn't quality and that you're an idiot if you don't use flac or vorbis really get to me.
- alexforcefive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Yeah, I was really hoping this would be a list of creative-commons social networks or something similar. Oh well :(
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Here is my humble contribution--> http://beatsandblood.blogspot.com/
That's my spot where I put up sweet albums for my friends to download.
No you can't find everything, but it is chock full of awesome albums that I have personally paid for and uploaded from my collection.
Mostly 320kb Stereo and of course DRM-free in the place-to-be.
If you Digg me down, you are a punk-ass hater. The more we all share, the better this World will be. Peace! - jamminman, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I think they might be classifying torrents as a whole different entity... if they included torrent sites, the list would be huge and not as interesting.
- ChayesFSS, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2news.giganews.com, can't imagine they really love that one
otmp3.com, great one for music - xerodustrial, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2O bittorrent, where art thou?
- Trendecide, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Would say thanks, but it seems as though this is now a list of 22 sites the RIAA is targeting or will now target (not saying I still won't use them). Next underground site NOT on that list....
- f3l1x, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3guitar video tabs
http://www.guitarvideotabs.com - didgital, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2I agree with you, but on the other hand, people do rip their mp3's at too low a rate. Ever notice how most mp3's just sorta sound lower than FM quality these days? Rip at 320 people!
- puppyfox, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Exactly. Pandora has a business model of serving ads while playing songs, and they pay their royalties, I don't see why it's stabbing the RIAA (F'em of course) in any way. The limitation on region doesn't have to do with censorship, just with the way they license tracks and make money.
- Br3ach, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Nice little list, certainly left out some other important ones. But the important thing is these sites help the RIAA bleed out and die sooner, and Im all for that :)
- mastercheif, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3mastercheif says talking in the third person is fun.
- altrego99, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Buried... (comment) should be under "crap" category.
- DOPPELGANGING, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2I honestly expected to see the following on that list:
NIN and Trent Reznor - vedema, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1...no listen77.com?
- KungFuJesus, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1What.CD? and/or Waffles.fm? truly the greatest music sites on the internet
- nakedcellist, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1The first one, beemp3 point to shady ringtone sites where you wil get "free" mp3 ringtones. Which are of course not really free. Plus you get an expensive subscription with it.
- thesupergeek, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1thanks for this post, it was needed!
- cJeremy, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1gotta love LAST.FM~~~~~
- synthoid, on 05/17/2008, -1/+2Buried. There's no Napster or Limewire on that list.
- cam0man, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1go through a proxy in the US, problem solved.
- nakedcellist, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1The first one, beemp3 points to shady ringtone sites where you wil get "free" mp3 ringtones. Which are of course not really free. Plus you get an expensive subscription with it.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Awesome..I just downloaded a gig of mp3's right now.
- boldfire, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Overplay.co.uk is often a good source of new bands who (mostly) haven't been discovered by the industry yet.
- getbuzy, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Seems this is the only one out of all mentioned that has Italo Disco music.
- jonfredric, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1holler, We pay for what you stream - so stream away!!!
- thinman1189, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Dugg for Slacker.
