FEATURES: Free music for a good cause

I'm sure virtually all of you enjoy music to some extent. I'm sure you'd enjoy it even more if it was free. But outside of piracy (to say nothing of its legality), acquiring free music can be somewhat problematic. Fortunately, there is an easy way of downloading free music while maintaing a clean conscience.

Gimme Sound is a website that hosts thousands of songs purely through ad-revenue. Thus, users can have their share of music at no cost at all. Best of all, with every download, a small portion of the site's ad-revenue goes to one of several charities.

However, while Gimme Sound does offer a plethora of songs from myriad genres, it can be difficult to find something worth listening to.

In any case, if you feel like discovering new artists or bands without any of the cost involved, give Gimme Sound a visit.
