Download Online MusicIf you want to download online music, you can do so now from this site: Free Music Downloads This site offer both movie and music downloads, and also games and burnign software. When you download music online you can do so in a number of formats, among them MP3, WAV, AAC required for iTunes, psp for some Sony systems, RA, and others. The most common are WAV and MP3, with AAC and psp for specific hardware requirements, and you can get more information on file formats As with most media downloads, you can get download online music from so called ‘free’ sites which are peer-to-peer or file share programs. So, if you see an advert offering you music downloads free of charge, this will frequently be a p2p site. I have nothing against p2p sites: they are very useful and I belong to a number of them, though the major problem is one of ‘intellectual copyright’. Most new music is protected by copyright and it is illegal to download it free. It is therefore up to you to make sure that permission has been given by the artist, or owner of the copyright, for the downloads. More on this on our Legal Page . However, assuming you have ascertained that permission has been given, or a download license is available, it is legal to download music from file sharing networks. They are not, however free, as you may know by now. You pay an annual or lifetime fee (I think the latter is best) for the software maintenance and support. However it is well worth the expenditure. The sites we recommend are detailed on the menu buttons to the left. These are broken down into music types, so if you want AAC format music for your iPod, click on iTunes. You will then be given either options or our main recommendation, depending on our evaluation of the available sites. I have joined several sites in order to get first hand experience of how they work and how good they are. I have also read several reviews on each site allowing you to download online music in order to ensure that my opinion is backed up by other users. Prices tend to be similar, though the best deals are those which offer a lifetime membership for under $40. You can download for the rest of your life, or the lifetime of the site, but be sure that your music downloads are legal. You can be prosecuted if you illegally download online music, though very few people are. Download Online MusicThere has been a recent purge on P2P file sharing sites, largely in reponse to the campaign by the music companies against illegal downloading of copyright-protected tracks. Thta is not condoned on this website, although the software itself is not illegal, as has been confirmed by the outcome of several court cases. There are many ways in such file sharing networks can be used legally, which is why information on this type of softeware is given here. Here is a site that offers P2P software, and also the link to enable you to check it out:
