Finding Great Music That 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.

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 Content

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.

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.

Indie

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.

New Artists

A lot of bands and individuals are trying to make it in the entertainment world. One of the first things that they search for is recognition. When you go to websites like Unsignedbandweb, you can find many bands that are not currently signed with anyone. This may be a good way to find a lot of talent in the rough. You may find free songs from bands that are destined for greatness.

For Kids

Music is very important for small children, as it can build a lifetime of appreciation. A lot of songs that your child may want to hear are many years old, and are in public domain. This can make it much easier to find what you want. You may also find websites like Freekidmusic. They offer a great deal of songs that are made for small children, and it is free.

Summary
