Finding Great Music That Is Legal And Free Of Charge

By William Stanway


There are ways that you can legally download or listen to great music, and it will not cost any money. It will not take very long and will not be complicated, either. Here are some ways to look into.

Classical

If you search the Web for classical creations, you may find a lot of different sites. It is not hard to find a site like Classiccat, with a lot of good selections that you can download. This may be due to the fact that many classical pieces are many years old. There may not be any patents or copyrights on them, to worry about.

Streaming Media

Streaming is a little different than downloading. When a song is streamed to your computer, you are playing it from an Internet source. It cannot be copied and transferred to another computer, and it cannot be placed on media like compact disks.

There are several good sites that stream music to your computer. One such site is Altsounds, and you can read a lot of song reviews there, too. Some songs may be available to download, but most of them are streamed online.

Independent

Independent artists are ones that do not work with the major recording companies. Some of these artists are well-known and famous. Many of their albums and songs will be available on "Indie" websites. Indie is a term that stands for independent music. Although some of the selections may be free, some may be for sale, too. Websites like Dmusic and Indierockcafe are two examples of Indie websites.

New Artists

There are many sites that features unsigned recording artists that want to be known. In order to get the word out on their songs and albums, they sometimes promote them for free. This is a good way to check out some of the new talent in the entertainment industry. You may get free songs from groups or individuals that are destined for fame. Unsignedbandweb is an example of a website that features new recording artists.

Songs For Kids
