There is a large amount of music available on-line from the Chinese search engine giant Baidu.com a Chinese equivalent to Google. Once you search MP3 titles, artists or find the lastest top 100, 200 or 500 song you can listen to the full MP3 song on-line and then download the whole song for free. Some other formats available are wmv, wav, video ‘rm’, flash movies. If you know how to type Chinese you can search for some other world music like African, Quebecois, Japanese, Korean etc. but searching in English does not often reveal good results. Here are some instructions on how to search for MP3s on Baidu.
1. Goto Baidu.com
2. Click on “Mp3″ it is the only English available and type a song title, artist or general category.
Try copying and pasting these into the search bar:

云南音乐 Yunnan Music
非洲音乐 African Music
Try "魁北克音乐" Quebecois Music and see what you get!
3. If you don’t have anything in particular that you want to search for then click on the “Top 100″, “Top 200″ or “Top 500″ links .
4. A new window will open and every page afterwards will be in Chinese.
5. Next page will list a list of song titles and artists in Chinese, just click one and a new window will open. These are the column headings numerically numbered from “1″ on the far left side of the window:
