Looking For Great Music Which Is Legal And Costs Nothing

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.

Finding Classical Music

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 Content

Streaming audio is not the same thing as downloading a song. When you download a song, it is yours to keep and play, whenever you wish. Streaming audio is played from the Internet and can only be accessed while online. You cannot download these audio recordings to your computer.

A lot of websites offer the services of streaming audio and video. You can go to a website like Altsounds and find a lot of good selections. Although it is mostly streaming audio, some songs may be available for downloading.

Independent Artists

Independent recording artists do not work for major record companies. This type of music is also known as "Indie". There are many good and notable recording stars that share their music with Independent websites. Some recordings may not free, but there may be a great deal of free selections, also. Indierockcafe and Dmusic offer audio from independent recording artists, and these are only two of many.

Finding New Artists

A lot of new bands and artists are just getting started in the business. As a promotion, they often offer their songs online, free of charge. This will help them become known, and may create a demand for their services. Websites like Unsignedbandweb is an excellent way to check out some of the new and upcoming talent in the industry. You might get free songs from a band that will someday be a household name.

Just For Kids

Small children enjoy music as much as anyone else. The good thing about many children songs is, many are in public domain. This will make is much easier to find free versions to download or stream to your computer. There are also sites dedicated to providing quality content for small children. One such website is Freekidmusic.
