apparently imeem.com, one of my favorite sites for music listening, has been bought out by myspace music and taken
down or something; it's horrible!!
anyone have recommendations for sites that have a large library of music that you can listen to for free, fave tracks, etc.?
i would prefer a sleek, intuitive interface like imeem had, but i guess music library size takes priority.
anyone other imeem fans put out by this but end up find a suitable replacement?
I go to Dizzler.com for music listening
Well, how about Spotify for free music listening? Depends of course what kind of music do you like, they usually don't have more obscure and indie stuff.
I don't like when the sites I use disappear. The worst one for me over all the years of being an internet nerd was Stage6 but that has little to do with your question so I'll stop here. :/

Limewire is all you need.
;)
I'd say Carue was a Lucky Ducky | YouTube Page
Fuck Limewire, that thing gave me thousands of viruses. Ares is where it's at,
y'all.
Now that I think about it, I usually just youtube songs that pop into my head that I want to listen to.

Well, that only happens if you download files like "free music download best hits 2009.exe" or " <your search="" here=""><lots and="" lots="" of="" random="" crap="" trying="" to="" convince="" you="" that="" this="" is="" a="" perfectly="" safe="" download="">.exe/.mp3/.jpg/.iso". That's why you must check for size, title etc.

Oh, I know that, but Limewire still gave me a lot of viruses. Frostwire never did give me any viruses, but I could never really find a lot of songs on FW. Ares practically has every recorded/licensed song known to man kind.
Well, I'd recommend torrents. Look on TorrentFreak.com for some good site-suggestions. And if you speak even a few bits of spanish try taringa.com.
Of course, if you want to simply listen to music instead of downloading then I'm pretty much lost.
i just want listening sites. imeem was probably the best i'd found as they had a massive library that users could upload their mp3's to.
Also, it's a children's comic from Japan.
Why are you comparing it to cultural engravings and burritos.
Yeah, Imeem ruled. They had a ton of J-pop to listen to. Now where can I get my J-pop fix? Thanks a lot Myspace.

lol, I thought I was the only one who got their J-pop on from imeem…damn I loved that site. Even though I was extremely upset with myspace seems I can no longer be:
It's been nearly a week since MySpace Music closed its acquisition of some of the assets of music service Imeem and redirected imeem.com to music.myspace.com. MySpace took a lot of heat for the sudden shutdown of the Imeem service, particularly the API.
But the fact is that MySpace didn't shut the Imeem service down. Imeem's creditors and the music labels did. If MySpace hadn't done the deal Imeem would have shut down anyway. The company was just out of cash and options, and the wheels had come off the car. For the most part the press now gets that MySpace had very little to do with the shutdown, and has settled down.
Imeem's 16 million monthly visitors apparently haven't gotten the message, though, and every couple of minutes one of them fires off a frustrated message on Twitter. One example just a few minutes ago, in the image above: "Imeem, one of the best music sites, died, destroyed by MySpace.": "RIP imeem, I will dearly miss you¿All the more reason to hate myspace. They sold out on Dec. 8th." Users are particularly upset about losing their playlists, something MySpace has said they'd work hard to transition "as quickly as possible."
It's not exactly the warms hug MySpace probably thought they'd receive when they stepped in and saved as much of the Imeem service as they could. And with the benefit of hindsight some basic communication to Imeem users other than the shock of a redirect to MySpace Music might have been a good idea. Like an email to users telling them what was happening, for example.
But the result is the same. The demise of Imeem had nothing to do with MySpace, and whatever parts of the service do live on will only do so because MySpace stepped in to buy some of Imeem's assets. The hard part, of course, is getting that message to those 16 million pissed off users.
