Just a quick post to mention Jamendo – a site I discovered a couple of days ago offering lots of free music from various independent artists.

So far I’ve downloaded several albums and a handful of EPs, and I’m impressed – some of the music is very nice, very professional, and not only free but also legally so! :)

Oh, and the download speed is ridiculously good – I’ve been pulling down albums at a solid 2.3MB/s (and yes, I do mean megabyte) – can’t argue with that!

It’s another good way to find new music (another way I particularly like is using last.fm‘s recommendations stream, which will stream you a selection of songs that you’re likely to enjoy, based on what it already knows about your musical tastes.
