Get Free Music from Amazon

Did you know that Amazon has a pretty decent-sized collection of free MP3 albums?  I assumed it would all be stuff I'd never want to check out, but there's actually some decent stuff there, including a compilation of works by Phillip Glass, some dub comps, a whole ton of different kinds of ethnic music, and tons of label comps including some electronic stuff.  Not everything will be to your taste for sure, but it's hard to lose when it's free. 

UPDATE: I forgot to mention, these are only available in the U.S. Such are the joys of territorial digital rights.

Got all exited about the Phillip Glass download and after being forced to download Amazon's spyware ... I mean "downloader" I recieve this message "We could not process your order. The sale of MP3 Downloads is currently available only to US customers located in the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. "

I know digital rights is a complicated issue but it seems to be creating a lot of invisible borders!
