Free & Legal MP3 files!

Feel free to dip into this well of truly Free & Legal music downloads.  The list below consists of links to files on servers owned by bands, record companies and promo sites.  I do not have any legal claim to these files, thus no authority to host them.  Dig deep & share the groove!  Some of the files listed below require Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Windows Media Player. (!Doh!).  Most of the links you see here will download to your computer easiest if you right-click and select 'Save Link As' (FireFox) or 'Save Target As' (IE).

 

You've no doubt noticed that I've been lax in updating this list - that's because I have simply been listing new bands / songs - on the site's main page (www.cdnav.com), mixing them in with the latest day's postings.  You'll note that there is one new MP3 track every single day to the main site!
