I'm not a big downloader, but I need a few songs for a class presentation. I have Limewire downloaded, but it won't connect, and I tried Bearshare but there's way too much spyware on there.

Any good ones out there?

I am not aware of any sites that offer free music.

But if you are looking for P2P software to download music, try Ares or SoulSeek. BitTorrent is good too but its more suited to download larger files.

www.g2p.org
it searches google for music and you can just download it right from there, pretty awesome service
