It seems like there's a very good link missing! Rebirth (a sequencer, great at imitating the famous 303) is available for free nowadays.
Sign up and download the .iso http://www.rebirthmuseum.com/
Cheers!

Nice list man!! Great job!!
http://www.moviewavs.com/ Great site for movie/tv show samples. even has a few cartoons on there.
http://meanbeat.cjb.net/ Insanely good drum hits, all free. use it a lot myself.
http://www.freesound.org/ MASSIVE free sample directory. Use this a lot too.
Personally, I use Renoise as the music app of choice. You can use it for free, but some of the advanced features you'll have to pay for. Definitely worth it in my opinion. Its the best tracker out there. http://www.renoise.com/

When I was making tunes I learnt pretty much everything from www.dogsonacid.com production forums. It's mainly geared around dnb production but all the tips and tricks are pretty universal.
Whats also very cool is that they compiled it all into a wiki (which I would hope has been consistently updated), which includes links to gigs of free samples (breakbeats, synths, record rips, etc).
