There are many places to listen to free music online, but here are my top four picks
Where you should go first.

Jango
I must admit that Jango is one of the coolest places to listen to music free. Once you
Are there, you can pick which artist that you want to hear, and a song comes on. The
Website then chooses other songs for you like the artist that you chose. Don't like a
Certain song? You can choose, by happy face, whether you love it and want it always
Played on your 'radio station' or, never to play it again! Whatever artist that you pick
Is your radio station. You have the option to change the name of it. For example if you
Pick Beyonce, then your radio station would be called Beyonce and all songs played
Would be similar to her. Changing the name is easy though.

Membership is hassle free. Just enter your email and a password and you're in. What I like
Is that it is a music community. You can upload your picture, invite friends, listen to other
People's radio stations, and watch music videos. What I like most about it, is that you can
Be editing your profile, or looking at members in your age group, or anything at all, and
The music keeps playing in the background.
Simply have to have a single that you hear? You also have the option to download it from
Amazon Or iTunes.

Slacker
Slacker is a cool Internet radio station that gives people the option to buy a portable radio
Player, but of course, you can listen to music free. They have an extensive music library that
Even includes Comedy and a Youth section. There are forums, customer support and more.
I like the look and feel of the website as well. The only downside is that it is only for listeners
In the United States.

MeeMix
Meemix is a cool Internet radio community. It is similar to Jango in the way that they ask
You what artist that you want to hear, and press play. They have a mood control, top 100
List, new releases and more.

Harold, I did not know that. You'd think with them making so much money already is enough, but they want every last penny. Moby is one artist who is letting people use his music for free if they are non-profit filmmakers, film students, independent non-profit individuals who are doing a film, short or video. Not exactly the same thing, but, Wish there were more like him.

I hope you know that when you post an article like this the free part of the website will not last much longer. Word gets out and musicians lobby for them to not be free anymore. Some people have written articles on websites with free programs, and in a few months they were no longer free.
