Qtrax is the first free and legal music download service that sounds promising enough to check out. (They claim it's a "P2P" service, but I'm not sure you can upload anything, so that disqualifies it in my book.)

They're advertising 25 million tracks, and claiming that all four majors are on board, although Warner apparently begs to differ. Files are encrusted with DRM, but only to prevent users from burning them to a CD--transfers to any Windows Media-compatible portable music player are OK, and iPod support is promised later this year. (Qtrax hasn't said whether this is a reverse-engineering kludge like RealNetworks pulled off a few years back or if Apple's actually taking the unprecedented step of licensing FairPlay.) It's advertising supported, but ads are easily ignorable, and I was planning on transferring songs to my Zune anyway--there's no way to display ads there.
