How many times have you yearned for some relaxing music? How many times you’ve wished that you could lay hands on something interesting to hear? Finally, how many times you’ve spent hours on the internet searching for free music? Well, your wait is finally over!

Jamendo is an online repository of music — which is free to listen, free to download, and free to distribute. Freelancing artists from all over the world publish their Creative Commons licensed music on this website, thereby making their creativity accessible to a large audience while retaining the rights to their music at the same time. Users can browse the albums, listen to their favorite tracks, and even download them. Jamendo makes these tracks available as .mp3 for direct download, and as either .mp3 or .ogg for download via Peer-2-Peer networks (BitTorrent and eMule). Website or Blog owners can even insert widgets into their web pages to display their favorite tracks and play them via streaming. Moreover, accessing all these Jamendo services is completely free.

The website boasts of music suiting to a wide variety of tastes. A sample tag cloud retrieved from the website can actually tell you all about it. Ambient, ecperimental, electro, techno — you name it and it has it. When I checked it last time, the site had well over 9000 published albums in various categories and about 350,000 members. Sure, Jamendo is very popular.

Also, the contributing artists do not provide their music for free! Jamendo distributes 50% of its ad-revenue and donation equally among all the artists. Also, listeners have the option of directly donating to the artist of their choice from the website itself.

Not only free-music, Jamendo also offers Web-2.0 style services to its users. Registered members can create playlists of their favorite songs and share it with their friends. They can interact with other members of the website via forums and vote for their favorite albums.

Below, I have embedded my favorite Jamendo track — Bell Meditation from Cosmic Lullabies by Doc.

Please remember that the track is very long, so if you have a slow internet connection, it might take a long time to download! Enjoy!
