How to Listen to Free Music Online
In 2009, Columbia Records made a Bob Dylan song available for anyone on the Web to listen to for free. Surprisingly, sales for that song increased. As the Internet grows, so does the number of free songs on it. Free music resides on well-known sites such as Amazon.com, and on lesser known sites that provide free, streaming music on demand. When you're in the mood for music of any genre, play it through your browser.
