downloading music

[MrFun]

So for you guys who download music a lot, what are the best sites to do so??


If there are sites where I can LEGALLY download music for free, what are they?


If not, what sites offer the best deals for downloading music?

And any mentions of illegal sites will get deleted and some people restricted

Free music is available legally.

Some bands will offer free downloads of some of their songs. Do a search for them. Also, there are many places that offer music that is in the public domain.

If you are looking for the latest hit song though you'll have to pay to stay legit, you consumerist running dog lackey.

Ming: would it be appropriate or not to suggest the name of a p2p program? I've found a damn good new one, but I won't post it's name unless it's cool for me to do so.

If it's LEGAL... OK... Not legal... not OK.
The owners of this site do not support or condone the illegal use of software or theft. It's really pretty simple

Ming...the scripkiddies here want to discuss Kazaa. Discussing the legal sites would be like discussing the porn films that Tracy lords made after she was of age.

If you live in Canada, it's all legal as long as you don't upload copyrighted files.

It would probably be permisable to mention its name and features to certain interested parties via PM.

A very tough cookie as of late. Downloading, using and distributing a p2p program is legal, to the best of my knowledge. It can only get illegal when you download content that is either illegal by itself (like child porn in most places), or that has been acquired and put for share illegally (ripped music, copied softwar, etc).

mp3.com does let you download quite a few legal MP3s, from independent artists or from copyright-free music (such as classical music).

I you're into MIDI, you can find tons of midis frre to download as well. I suppose it is legal, because most mainstream hosts have a few homepages devoted to MIDI downloading.

Well, I don't have an MP3 -- I thought someone would know of a good site for me to download music, with which I could create my own customized music CDs, since I have a R/W drive.

Ever tried www.buymusic.com ? There are quite many files there available for cheap downloads with free preview samples.

You can burn MP3s into custom music CDs listenable in car or living-room HiFi. The quality is less good than pure CD tracks, but it's barely noticeable for the casual listener (however, it's very noticeable for the trained listener)
