Jamendo.com
Jamendo is the world's #1 platform for free and legal music downloads. So don't expect to find any of your Top 40 songs here. Available in seven languages, it offers the largest catalog of music under Creative Commons licenses. For artists, it's an easy and efficient way to publish, share and promote their music, and also to make money, through ad revenue sharing and commercial partnerships. If your into new music or unsigned bands then you should have a field day here. Or if you just don't like paying for music you can get some pretty good tracks legally free.

mp3drug.com
This is one of my favourite mp3 search engines at the moment. It has a great layout and easy to use interface. Simply search for your file and browse the results for your required mp3. The option to play the file from the site before downloading is a major bonus with this site as well as the playlist option for registered users. You can also sign in with your Facebook account allowing you to share your music easier.
Extra features such as related artist and album art at the side of the search give it that more professional feel. An overall great mp3 search engine, apart from the annoying 'Join us on Facebook' pop-up.

Free-mp3.ca
Another MP3 search engine. It doesn't look that up to date but does offer a lot of MP3's to download, and seems to be used regularly. The major drawback is that you can only download via a toolbar, which is only available on IE so unless you use it I wouldn't say it's worth your time.
I can't seem to find much more about this site and I'm concerned about where the files are hosted. I think it may just want you to download the toolbar.
If you have any experience with this site please leave a comment below.

kvaz.com
This is an mp3 search with a twist. You may of seen the Zippy Share Hint I posted recently, well this site offers an mp3 search of Rapidshare. It also has an option to search everything or just verified files. Your search may be limited but I know there are a lot of mp3 files on Rapidshare.

mp3juices.com
Another mp3 search based website. Very simple and easy to use. Just search from the home screen and select your song for download. It seems to have a lot of files but not as update as I'd like. For your average music downloads you should be fine.

Knowing what to look for!
It's right in front of you but you have to know what your looking for.
Let me explain. There are hundreds of hosting sites out there, many hosting mp3 files. Now i'm sure some of you have seen this before but may not have clicked on. When you type a song name into Google, 9 times out of 10 it will auto-complete with the word 'zippyshare' at the end.
This is because of the vast amount of people searching for the same thing.
Zippy Share is a file hosting service from which you can preview and download mp3 files.
Get where i'm going with this?
Search for your file and type 'zippyshare' at the end to locate that file within the hosting site. Try this out with other file hosting sites if you cannot find what you want.
Again, if the file is not free to download I will not be held responsible for your actions.

Smacki.com
Some of you may know about the Google Search hacks which allow you to access the files of unsecure sites. Well Smacki.com has automated this for you. It is a simple site which allows you to search for any mp3 file through Google.
By simply typing in the artist name or song, or both, it adds the complicated part of the equation for you and searches Google for your file.
It may take some time to browse the sites for your file but when you find what you want, it's a simple right-click and save job!

How to rip music from streaming websites
First things first. I do not endorse stealing music. This is to show how the most secure sites still have major flaws that easily allow their content to be downloaded, if you know what your doing.
Ok, so assuming you know what streaming is we can begin.
There is only two things you will need for this.
The first is Cache Viewer. Cache Viewer allows you to see the files being downloaded to your cache when you are streaming content. This can be seen in Firefox anyway by searching for your cache folder in your profile. But this addon makes it so simple.
Get it here!
The second thing you need is a website that streams audio. This also works with video but we'll stick to music for now. To find audio streaming websites you can click the Streaming link to your right and choose your favourite.
Now for the finale! When you have found your streaming site, select a song to play and open Cache Viewer. You may find it hard to find the file at first but you will pick it up quickly. The easiest way to find the file is to order by Last Fetched. As long as your not viewing loads of other sites the file should be at the top, marked Audio/MPEG under the MIME Type.
Wait for it to finish streaming then find the file. Right click it and select Save As. You should save the file as .mp3 or it will not open. Once finished simply find the song where you saved it a play it!
The biggest perk to this is the fact that the download takes as long as your internet takes to stream it, which is some cases can be a matter of seconds!
If you have any problems with this please ask and I will help you as much as I can.
Remember, downloading music without permission is illegal, I will not be held responsible for the misuse of this information.

BeeMP3 Toolbar
If you like the BeeMP3 Website you can also get an easy to use toolbar for Firefox. It has the same basic function but in toolbar form.
It is only small and is always there when you need to find a song.
I currently use the toolbar and i'm not a big fan of toolbars!
You can download the toolbar here!
