Jamendo is an excellent program which allows artists to release musical works into the public domain under various formats. With plugins for programs like Rhythmbox, you can use the service as an Internet Radio, and if you like something you can visit the artist's site on Jamendo or get the whole album on BitTorrent. Recordings are uploaded in WAV for FLAC, and are distributed in OGG and MP3.
If you are an artist with content that you feel would should be in the public domain, sharing your original recordings is easy. More importantly, you can get feedback on your recordings from the Jamendo community, which can be exciting because all the opinions (although sometimes misguided) are impartial--which is more than you can expect of your friends :) .
