Head over to Wired and you’ll find a “How-To Wiki” that lists web sites where you can stream or download music online for free. As you’ll see, Wired is not shy about admitting what it’s trying to accomplish here. The wiki page is called “Cheat the Music Industry: Never Pay for Music.”
To access more online music, visit Lifehacker’s guide to finding free music on the web, and peruse our collection of free music podcasts.
