We've all had those times where we've ran out of music to listen to, or just bought a new iPod and have no music to put onto it. Well, from personal experience, I've found quite a few ways to fill up songs, quickly and easily.

Music Discovery
What you should always start out with is some basic tunes - at least enough so that other programs will have a reference. Last.fm, YouTube, and Songr are all resources you should consider, especially if you already have a favorite genre or artist.
Last.fm will allow for you to enter a favorite artist and hear tunes by them. YouTube has many music videos, each with their respective view numbers and vote numbers (these digits can be used as a reference point). If you have completely no idea what you like, Songr's homepage will give you a list of songs others like; otherwise, just search up your favorite artist to find their tunes.

Previewing Music
Before buying music, it is important to first preview it so you know that you'll like it (trust me, there's nothing worse than spending over $70 on music only to find out that they only have cool looking album covers). ...
... Songr is a valuable resource when looking up songs, especially for ratings and music videos. YouTube is another resource, and if you live in the US, enter "vevo" after you search term and you'll get high quality music videos.

Obtaining Music
Once you are ready, there are two different types of music services you can use: subscription or one time.
Subscriptions services normally require you to pay a monthly fee and during the time your subscription is valid, you can download a set amount of songs. Some stores include Rhapsody and eMusic.
One time purchases are where you purchase the song, and well, you keep it for life (or however long your computer lasts). Some nice stores are Amazon Mp3 and iTunes.

Free Music
Free, $0, complimentary, no charge - whatever you call it, it's universal and generally well liked. Here are a few links to download legal free music:
Last.fm
eTree
Amazon Mp3
Muzie (Japanese)
ccMixter
Mp3.com


And of course, there's the iTunes free singles of the week as well.
