When we ask the question “What is the best site to download free mp3?”, the most answers will be “LimeWire”. This web site is so well-known to download free mp3 files. If we use this site, we have to download the LimeWire software first, then we can download all sorts of songs, clips, games etc. However there are the reports about viruses on downloading and its illegal. Someone told that we should not download free files, it is illegal, police can track down who is downloading free songs. We would get fined greatly. Someone don't trust free mp3 sites (viruses problem!) but try to borrow CDs from the local library. Then rip the music and return!
We would not have to worry the mess above anymore. There are many ways suggested to download legal MP3 for free as follows:
- www.music.download.com*We can either search for a specific song or artist, or view their section of free downloads, browsing by genre. A main part of the free music is produced by artists who are not recognized and are looking to get their names' out into the general public. We can find out some pretty good artists this way.
- www.spiralfrog.com*This website has a large selection of free music (at least for legal sites) by well known artists. For this service we have to create an account at the site and renew the membership every month for the songs that we have downloaded to keep working. We also have to download their free software application (this allows us to be able to download).
- www.we7.com*We7 is a website that is made for artists who are looking to get their name out to the general public. Again, we can find some pretty nice music from unknown artists. This site will actually pay the artists when people download their music. They do this through advertising. Each downloaded song will have a ten-second or less ad attached to it. This plays right before the song every time that we listen to it. Companies pay We7 to do this, the artists get paid for their music, and we get free songs - everyone wins this way. Oh, and we are given 20 "credits" per month to use for downloading an ad-free version of a song that we previously downloaded and have had for a month.
- www.amazon.com*Go to the mp3 downloads section at Amazon, do not type anything in the search box, click the "go" button, and the list of all mp3 is available. In order to find the free mp3's - in the "sort by" drop-down menu, choose "price: low to high." The free songs will come out first, not mixed in with the ones that you have to purchase. To download the songs we have to create customer account first. This is a result page of the technique above .
- iTunes Free DownloadIf we use iTunes, we can download free contents for the iPods or MP3. For someone does not have iTunes software, we can download at apple.com for free, even if we do not own the iPods. Every week the iTunes Store offers one or more free songs or shows for free download. Most are available for a week, some longer. To get this free stuff we have to create an apple id account and apply iTunes. Go to iTune store, there will be “Free on iTunes” item. There is more detail at the “MP3 Free iTunes Download” post here.
In addition to those 5, there are many other ways to download mp3's. Try Google-ing* something like "legal free music" or "free legal mp3" or "download legal free mp3," etc. We will find other sites offering these services this way.
