How to download music

Everyone likes music. Earlier when there was no access to the internet the albums and songs for different artists and bands were sold in cassettes or records. Now-a-days various sites offer online music to be downloaded for no charge. This gives the music fans a chance to download music and listen to the tracks before they go out and buy them.

You need to be very careful while downloading music as the free tracks might not be legal. Make sure before you download music to check if it is being offered by the respective band or record company or the artist themselves. Here are some steps on how to download music:

• The first step is to make a list of all the songs and albums you want to listen to. You can get updated news about the latest music releases on various music sites.
• You can also find some interesting songs that hold your attention on the online, digital or terrestrial radio. Many radio stations keep a record of the music they play on their sites.
• You can find a number of blogs made by the different music fans around the world of their favorite music or artist. Many such blogs contain posts which contain MP3s for the readers to download and listen to. These are called MP3 blogs.
• Find sites that offer you the access to download music to your computer. Make sure that they are providing these services legally.
• Browse for your music by the genre, artist name, album title or song title until you find the song you were searching for.
• Click on the ‘Play’ or ‘Download’ button present near the song name so that you can download it.
• Click on the download window that will pop up on your screen. Select the location you want to download the file to and click ‘Ok’. Some sites require your email id so that they can send the file by mail.

There are few things you should confirm before you download music online as it is not like buying a CD in the market where you can be sure that the tracks in them are going to be the ones you want. On online music downloading sites, there is often an option for listening to the music before downloading it. You need to do this to ensure that you really want to download that into your computer rather than finding out that you didn’t like the track.
