• Amie Street
  
  Amie Street is an online marketplace for music by independent artists.
  
  As you may have deducted from the word ‘marketplace’, not all music on this site is free, only the yet-undiscovered ones. This is how it works: Initially, about all of the music that appears on Amie Street gets released without a price – you can then download it without paying a dime. However, as the popularity of the piece increases, the price goes up. The trick is to browse the new releases, and find the musical pearls between them. Note that signing up is required to download an album.
  
  Another great feature is that you can earn credits by recommending songs to friends – up to 98 cents per song – which you can use to buy some of the premium songs. The retail price of these premium songs never goes over 98 cents apiece either.
