Probably the most well-known source of music on the Internet is Kazaa. the problem is that the free version of Kazaa is loaded with adware and spyware.

IMPORTANT: The nature of P2P sharing services makes them an easy source of virus infections, Trojans, and assorted nasties. Before installing any P2P software or downloading any files, install an Anti-Virus program and keep it current.
