Despite the Napster farrago and the MP3.com lawsuit(s), 2000 has been a pretty good year for MP3s and online music in general. There are enough portable players out there to suit all tastes and budgets (how many Nike psa[play devices will we see on the street in the new year?) and the quality of free music available from signed and unsigned talent keeps getting better and better. We've compiled six of the best tracks from the last few months below. If you don't own them already, download them all for free now (what's stopping you?) We've got some big plans for the new year, in addition to continually improving and enhancing the site.

Dont forget, if you find any good MP3s out there, drop us a line at tunes@monoman.com.

If you find any broken links, let us know at links@monoman.com.

If you're fighting The Battle, you need to know which side you're on. Monoman is the weapon. The music collected here is the ammo. Happy New year. PS If you've had trouble viewing the Flash menu above, you'll need to download a new player here.
