Since I started using a new program from Adobe I had to look for some docs or examples other people have made with this.
So I found this really cool site that allows you to listen to more than 11,000,000 songs for FREE (Note that songs might be the same so the nr might not be correct but thats wha they show)
First you can listen to songs without creating an account, but after X amount you will be promted a message to register (Its free aswell)
You are also allowed to upload songs and share it with others legaly! You can also create play lists to keep order on your songs.
SO HAVE FUN LISTENING TO FREE MUSIC!
Now some here might ask how is this legal so I quoted the FAQ about it.
Also if you make songs yourself and want to upload it. Please make sure you read their FAQ (Also see second quote)

Is the music licensed?
Anywhere.FM has obtained licenses for the public performances of the music streamed through the web site. For the use of the musical works (notes and lyrics), Anywhere.FM pays royalties to ASCAP, BMI and SESAC, the three performing rights organizations ("PROs") in the United States that represent composers, songwriters, lyricists, and music publishers. With respect to the performance of a sound recording (an artist's performance of a musical composition), Anywhere.FM has elected to operate under the statutory webcasting licenses created by Congress and codified in Sections 112 and 114 of the Copyright Act. Pursuant to those licenses, Anywhere.FM pays royalties to SoundExchange, the sole entity designated by the Copyright Royalty Board to collect royalties from statutory webcasters. SoundExchange is then responsible for distributing the royalties paid by Anywhere.FM according to a statutory formula that allocates royalties, after permissible deductions, as follows: 50% to the sound recording copyright owner (typically the record label); 45% to the featured artist; and 5% to a fund administered for the benefit of nonfeatured vocalists and musicians.

How do I get paid for the use of my music?
If you are composer, songwriter, lyricist, or music publisher, then you would be paid royalties through your membership in ASCAP, BMI or SESAC. If you are record label or performing artist, then you would receive your royalties from SoundExchange. You have to be a member of ASCAP, BMI or SESAC in order to be paid by them. It is our understanding that you do not need to become a member of SoundExchange in order to receive your royalties but you should register with the organization if you wish to collect any royalties to which you are entitled.
How will ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and SoundExchange know to pay me royalties?
Along with the payment of royalties, Anywhere.FM provides the PROs and SoundExchange with reports on what music has been played. Each organization may receive different information under their license agreements with Anywhere.FM and, in the case of SoundExchange, pursuant to federal regulations. Each organization may also use a different methodology for allocating royalties. It is our understanding that the PROs and SoundExchange collect the information we submit (along with information from lots of other services) and then allocate the royalties according to the information they have collected. If you believe you are entitled to royalties for the use of your music, you should contact your PRO or SoundExchange.
