Musical interlude: tunes for tea-time

I was fortunate to discover Epitonic today. Collecting together free, full length, high quality tracks of commercially available music, Epitonic provides hours of musical listening and browsing pleasure. Samples are organized by genre from drum and bass to contemporary classical composers, and has quite a wide range of samples for each. Use it to browse and discover new artists or just exploit the huge library of free content - you can create your own collections and then stream them to your player, or just download tracks and play them later.

Epitonic is a good complement to Magnatunes that sells content licensed to Magnatunes by independent artists. In a two fingered gesture to the mainstream music industry Magnatunes brands itself as "we are not evil", I have to say I agree.
