How to Get Free Internet Music Downloads

Various types of websites and online programs allow users to download music for free. Before attempting to download music from the Internet, you should make sure you have high-speed Internet. Downloading songs with slow or dial-up Internet can take hours and, sometimes, days.

• Visit the website of the bank or artist whose music you would like to download. When artists release an album, they often place some of their tracks on their official website. You may be able to download the songs from the website for free.


• Download a file sharing website such as 4 Shared. This site allows members to upload music that they wish to share with others. Members can also download music that is being shared by other members. You can search for music by artists, song title, album name or music genre. Follow the rules of the site to make sure you are not violating copyright laws.


• Use a search engine such as Google to search for "Free (song name) MP3 Download." Browse through the search results to find a website that offers a download for the song or music you want. Download the songs and save them on your computer. Make sure you have an anti-virus program running on your computer because many free download websites might cause viruses.


• Use an MP3 search engine such as MP3 Raid. This site works like regular search engines, except it search for MP3s only. You can search by song title, artist, music genre or album name. You can listen to the music directly from the site before downloading it.
