Go to Napster.com using your Internet browser. While the website sells legitimate music downloads, it also provides some music streaming free. Sometimes, however, the site will only have a 30-second "sample clip" of a song. You can also become a site member to listen to an unlimited amount of music.

Try Pandora Internet Radio. Instead of trying to have every single ready to play at a user's request, Pandora simply taps into a huge database of streaming music at any one time. The website finds songs in line with your tastes based on your selections.

Don't look for individual songs when searching Pandora. Instead, search for the group you want to hear. For instance, trying to search for "Minority" (Green Day) is difficult, but you could instead search for "Green Day," and Pandora will play various pieces of music from the group 24/7.
