The Best 37 Free Items for Your Mac

Posted 05/04/2007 at 6:20:54pm | by Dave Hamilton

MUSIC

Pandora

Tell Pandora about music you like, and it will create a custom Internet radio station for you. Continue rating songs as you listen to them, and soon you'll be in musical bliss.

FreeMacMusic

A ton of free music is available on the Web, and the kind folks at FreeMacMusic.com can help you find a tasty, steaming heap of it.

eMusic

Even though eMusic isn't free forever, you can still get 25 free tunes from them, and the MP3s will work fine on your iPod. Get 'em while they're hot!

Music Downloads

Though the RIAA and MPAA have done their part to make sure that most everyone even thinking about downloading music or movies from the Web rots away in a cold, dark cell (or, at the very least, is threatened with such), there are plenty of places on the Web where you can still get free, quality tunes. There are lots of artists who'll happily share their music with you for free, in hopes of furthering their art and expanding their fan base.

Internet Archive. Literally hundreds of thousands of audio files - including more than 30,000 concerts - are freely available.

CNET Music. Find free streaming music from some of your favorite artists.

FreeMacMusic. Pop on over to find reviews of and links to music, all categorized by genre.

GoingWare. Check out to find links to thousands of sites that offer free music downloads.

Artist Direct. Music and videos from top stars are available for your edification and enjoyment.

FreeMacMusic has been taken down by the owner. FreeMacWare is still as awesome as ever though.

Don't forget Inkscape! A

Don't forget Inkscape!

A very good open source vector drawing program. I even find it easier to do some things in Inkscape than Illustratior CS2. Excellent support for SVG too.

Internet Archive link wrong

Correct link is http://www.archive.org, not .com.

Google spreadsheets and word

Google spreadsheets and word processor is great, however, it doesn't work well with Safari - I'd go as far as saying one of them won't work at all. You need to install FireFox to get it to work.

Submitted by Kim (not verified) on Tue, 2007-05-08 14:46

Google's Picasa Web can be used with iPhoto to make quick photo albums for those who may not have .mac service.
As of today, google offers 1 Gb of free page space.
It's free and cool.
