Seeqpod is a great website for finding free music on the web quickly. They offer an API which allows web developers (like me) to create websites and applications which access Seeqpod’s database. I recently created a website, called Freemusic, which allows users to access Seeqpod’s music in a much more user friendly way. Users can share direct links to playlists they’ve created using the site. And all of the music can easily be downloaded from the original source that Seeqpod found it in.
Here’s a screenshot of the site:
Lastly, I feel like it needs to be said that the site itself stores no music files or indexes of the locations of music files on the internet. It merely is an engine for querying the Seeqpod database. If a user finds a song in Seeqpod’s database which has been uploaded to the internet without permission of the copyright holder, then this user should not download or listen to this song.

The site uses the following technologies: javascript, ajax, php, seeqpod api, and the jw flash player.
