Links to Free, Cheap and Good Multimedia Resources

I thought that I should post the current & definitive list of where to get stuff here so it can be updated and 'always' available for those who, like me, keep forgetting where they put such a list. I will add categories as I find the time. If you find that any of these are duds, please let us know!
