Most of the free sites I found in the post Napster era weren't even worth recommending because they were slow, loaded with spyware and most files had a bit rate of 128 kbps which is like listening to a song on a 50s era Japanese trasistor radio. I recently gave Limewire a second try and the selection was good awful and there were very few files with a bit rate of over 128 kbps.
