In all honesty downloading MP3s from share sites such as Limewire and Kazaa is illegal. This does not mean that there are no other legal ways to get MP3s online at a low cost or even free. You just have to know the right places to go.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet Connection
  • MP3 Player
  1. Step 1

    Visit commercial websites that sell MP3s. There are literally hundreds of websites nowadays that offer MP3downloads for around $.99 per song. Everyone from iTunes to Wal-mart offers low cost downloads that give you full rights to the song. Full rights gives you the ability to either burn your MP3s to a CD or transfer them to your MP3 player.

  2. Step 2

    Sign up for an online service. If you only listen to your MP3s on your computer, then an online service may be your best bet. Services like Rhapsody and Napster give you unlimited access to all the music you want to listen to online. You do have the ability to make play lists, but you will not have full rights to burn CD's or transfer the songs to your MP3 Player. You will only be able to listen to the songs on your computer.

  3. Step 3

    Get a 2go account. 2go accounts are services offered that allow you to download unlimited music to your MP3 player for a monthly cost. The songs will still be protected, so you will not be able to burn them to a CD. The MP3s also have timers on them, so make sure that you connect your MP3 player frequently to your computer or else your song licenses will expire.

  4. Step 4

    Get MP3s for free. There are still a few good sites that allow you to download Mp3s legally for free. Download.com and Purevolume.com both offer free downloads of new artists as well as limited downloads of popular artists.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you choose to download music illegally, you will get caught. This can result in huge fines and even jail time. Free music is just not worth that.

on 10/12/2009 It is unbelievably simple – following the registration - http://vk.com/reg1944819 (absolutely free) in the search field simply enter audio files search, and VIOLA, you have found your happiness! I suppose advanced users don't need an explanation as to how files are downloaded.
