Jamendo
http://www.jamendo.com

Description
Jamendo is a place for artists from around the world to post their work under the Creative Commons license.
Users can download artists' songs from Jamendo a variety of ways including http and eMule and BitTorrent or can listen to them using the webplayer.

Artists Benifits - Supporting musicians with donations(!)
amendo also allows users to donate to artists that have chosen to receive donations. (Minimum amount to donate is $5)
Artists can choose to either receive donations, in which case Jamendo will keep a small portion of the donation (website says as little as 50 cents) or they can choose to receive a portion of the revenue from Jamendo's ads.

Review
Selection is fairly decent, a lot of songs from non English speaking countries as well.
Web Interface is very nice uses AJAX and has a nice Web 2.0 feel to it.
Artists also get some income from this via donations or shared ad revenue
