<div class="IPBDescription">Free Music Thread?</div> <a href='http://www.ssh.ne.jp/' target='_blank'>http://www.ssh.ne.jp/</a> - Japanese rock band (I'd recommend their Heavy songs (Category is to the song's left) and the new one, 666 or something)

<a href='http://www.minibosses.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.minibosses.com/</a> - They perform game music. Rock. They have MegaMan 2, Castlevania 3, and a live performance of Ninja Gaiden available for download.

<a href='http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~cranky/layer3.htm/' target='_blank'>http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~cranky/layer3.htm/</a> - Japanese techno/piano artist. Some of them are pretty good, others are 'meh'... I generally like the ones where there's no singing more.

<a href='http://www.ocremix.org/' target='_blank'>http://www.ocremix.org/</a> - If you don't know what this is, you should be shot. It's basically here for example.

    I just found out from my friend (he is a hacker, like totaly dangerous guy) about this cool new program that lets you download all the music you want for free.

    it is called snackster or something like that.

    could someone tel me about it?



    oh, and ocremix = the win

    you can also check out <a href='http://www.digitallyimported.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.digitallyimported.com/</a> for cool streams (techno, house, Jazz, lots of stuff)

    Edit so as not to derail chrono's thread:
    Cam, you are my hero!

    Can't quite describe them. If you like epic sounding, digital "bebop" sounds, then give them a try.

    I'll stick with listening to that blasted Road Blocks game music repeat over and over and over in the background because I can't figure out the level I am on.

    On a more serious note, thanks?

    Its like OC Remix, but with lower standards. They have about 10 times as much as OCRemix, but most of it is crap. There are a few gems on there that are not on OCRemix however, so its worth your time to look.

    un-signed, and signed artists setup accounts and upload their music, you can even setup a queue and play your oinline playlist like your own personal radio station.


    since they are un-signed alot of it is not too great... but some of it, AWSOME!!!

    DI might not let you download songs....but <a href='http://www.ets-global.org' target='_blank'>ETS-Global</a> (www.ets-global.org), which has much the same type of music, <i>encourages</i> it by putting up what seems like a half dozen or more of their shows each week for BitTorrent download.

    ok, just as a note b/c I don't want to see this thread locked:

    Ripping streams is generaly illegal!
    Don't ask how. Don't tell how.

    If it is legal then the site will specificly say that it is.
