With the death of mp3.com many many years ago I have no place to go to find awesome artists creating music, beats, and tunes for the love and craft of it (and.. you know, maybe some money).
So tonight I ask of you: Tell me where to go to find new downloadable music.
None of that crappy flash-player, popup, myspace bollocks. If I can't download it from the page - I don't care.
Hit me with your rhythm sticks.
edit - seriously, no sites with music players, I don't want to listen to a crappy version now, I want to download the music to listen to when I choose to at a later date. Players are a BAD IDEA - they get in the way of the music - and are one of the reasons I loathe MySpace. Ugh ugh ugh ugh UGH.

Seems to have a large and eclectic selection, I was mildly surprised to find Inkubus Succubus on there, I hadn't realised they were free-content artists.
Liberal sprinkling of flash animations and the occasional pop-up, such is life.
a) it has a shitty player
b) said shitty player actually doesn't work properly (and crashed FireFox just now).
This is the reason why I hate inbedded players. They are crap, get in the way of the music, and don't add any value. Now I will never bother to listen to anyone on that site because of a stupid design idea.
If I can't just download an mp3 of the music... I'm not really that bothered.
Oh well... thanks for trying though.
Good luck, I'm sure there's plenty of sites out there that dispense with the bloat in favour of accessibility.

It's a bittorrent client, not a free music site though. I know how to get music for free if I don't want to pay for it, that wasn't really the point of the post.
I'm interested in spreading my knowledge of genre's an bands in a diverse fashion - mp3.com used to do that very well.
