Where can I get legal MP3 downloads Online?
Syd Johnson
The truth is that there are many opportunities to get mp3 downloads online.
Yes, even legal mp3 downloads. The problem is that most people want the type of music that you get on top 40 radio, the Clear Channel synthesized, repetitive yet catchy, MTV Video ready, Pop/Rock and Hip Hop songs. This is a big problem for the recording industry and for consumers because this is where losses to artists, writers and publishers start to add up. Unfortunately for the music industry internet technology and savvy young customers are running three steps ahead of them.
So what should you do?
To get legal MP3 downloads go retail and go big
The best legal MP3 downloads can be found at the major online music retailers.
1. iTunes.com has over 150 million MP3 Downloads. Create online mixes, link to over 1,000 radio stations across the country, create mixes, download directly to your iPod or even purchase an iPod if you don’t have one. This large music catalog gives you access to almost every music genre that exists. There are also free samples available on a regular basis. No mystery here. Apple lists the date directly on the front page so you know when to come back and download your free songs. Free music on a schedule. Excellent!
2. Amazon.com has entire section of its site devoted to free music. Whether you’re looking for Pop, Rock, Ska, Reggae or Brazilian Samba music, there will probably be a nice catalog of free tunes on the Amazon site. It’s not the largest selection but you can reasonably assured that the files are good quality, virus free and legal. If you find a few songs that you like, click over to the album and purchase it directly online.
Independent musicians can put their own composition on the site with a virtual tip jar.
3. WalMart.com is the largest retailer in the world and fortunately they have created their own system to offer mp3 downloads online. Download individual songs or buy an entire album. They have a huge music catalog and single songs are slightly cheaper than iTunes’ at 88cents each. The current catalog has over 400,000 songs in many categories.
4. Download.com has it all, Rock, Pop, Classical, Reggae, Punk and more. Millions of online surfers turn to this site for their MP3 downloads. While you’re there, you can also check out their software and games section. Certainly one the largest and most comprehensive download sources online. As with Amazon, independent artists can register and upload their music.
5. LaunchCast is an mp3 download resource, online music station, music video channel and music store. Channels are extremely organized so you can do the top 40 thing or click around for independent artists and cutting edge stuff.
