Free Download Music: Thousands of Songs for the Taking
Regardless of what the news media says, you can get tons of free download
music from the Internet. And it's perfectly legal! Hit songs...top
artists...they're all there for the taking at no cost. Ya just gotta know where
to look.
And we're not talking about music file-sharing sites like Grokster, Kazaa and
the like. Perhaps the only thing legal about these is the software, and even
that might change. Copyright violation and personal privacy issues make using
these mp3 music services risky at best.
So Where do I Find this Legal Free Music?
Many pay download music sites offer a trial membership, during which
downloads are free. In some cases you can keep the downloaded songs even if you
cancel. Others imbed programs in all their downloads that require periodic
'synchronizing,' so songs only play if the membership is current.
Even after the free mp3 downloads, pay sites like Real Networks' Rhapsody,
e-Music and Napster are worth taking a look at. They offer a variety of
membership options to build your music collection at a surprisingly low cost.
Can I Get Completely Free, No-Strings-Attached Music Downloads?
Yes you can. Many sites exist for precisely this purpose. Why? Many artists
want their music to get more exposure. Even top name musicians know it's in
their interest to do this as it enhances their image and invariably leads to
more album sales. Some sites are created by the musicians themselves while
others make their pages available to any artist wishing to make their mp3 music
available at no cost to the public.
Find free music download sites easily on your favorite search engine. A few
you may want to check out include
www.mp3.com, www.artistdirect.com and
www.jazzpromo.com. There are many to choose from, but be wary about any that
include mp3 file-sharing. These are the sites that can get you in trouble.
