  2. AOL.com
  3. Last.fm (offered World Music)
  4. Grooveshark.com
  5. flytunes.fm (offered World Music)
  6. Pandora.com (offered World Music)
  7. MusicIndiaOnline.com (offered World Music)
  8. radiomaqam.com (offered World Music)
  9. mymusicstream.com
  10. audiolizer.com

  1. LastFM.com
  2. PureVolume.com
  3. hypemachine.com
  4. MP3.com
  5. Beemp3.com
  6. amazon.com
Downloads for iPod Touch:
  1. B.o.B-Airplanes: Blog from "Hypemachine" called "I hope your ears bleed"
  2. 3Oh3- Don't Trust Me: from LastFM.com
  3. Hot Hot Heat- Goddess on the Prairie: Free Mps on MP3.com
  4. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart-Higher than the Stars: LastFM.com
  5. Usher-OMG: Blog from "Hypemachine" called "Vacay Wave"
  6. The Ready Set-Sweetest Girl: PureVolume.com
Summary:
We found multiply sites where we could listen to music freely based on the Artist, the Genre of Music, and the year that the music was produced. We also included places on the website where one could find free downloadable music for their iPod Touch. When looking on the sites, we found that one could get recent music, but it was harder than finding old and/or undiscovered music. All the sites overall, were easy to navigate through and gave no problem when downloading the music. I think that this exercise was fun and one that will benefit me in the future. It allowed us to research about something that millions of people do every day, download illegal music, but it challenged us to find legal ways to do it.
