Want free music now? It’s just a click away.

Try Rdio. It connects people with music instantly. Choose what you want to play and listen as much as you want, online or on your phone.

There’s also Spotify. You can download the program for free and listen to exactly what you want to hear. Link up with your friends and create playlists together.

Turntable FM is a music social network that allows you and your friends to take turns being DJs or listen to others doing the same thing. You can vote DJs up or down, and the bad ones miss a turn.

Finally try Live365.com. The site streams thousands of radio stations across 240 genres for free with options to buy the tracks you hear, helping you discover a whole new world of music for free.

A recent survey by insight research group found 74 percent of those surveyed will stream music for free, but wouldn't pay for the same service.
