Qtrax is a P2P based network which will provide access to over 25 million songs from EMI, Universal and Warner . . . free. Basically, endure some ads and get access to all of this music free. Apparently, from the article, not iPod compatible, so it appears they may be using some funky format?
I haven't read the small print, but it
sounds good.

edit: iPod support in April, songs have DRM to count downloads so that artists and labels get paid for popularity of songs and get a proportional share of ad revenue.

FYI.
