How to Get Cheap Music Downloads
How to get cheap music downloads! Doesn't it suck that you pay $15 bucks for a new CD and usually you only get a few songs worth listening too? Sure there are those CDs that you love all the songs, but how rare is that? I think the music industry has been ripping people off since the dawn of the LP record. Shelling out big bucks typically for only a few songs, sometimes only 1! Now we have the digital age where you can pick and choose what songs you want and which ones you don't. How great is that, paying for only the music downloads you really enjoy for a great price. The only thing is you have many sites like Apple iTunes that have serious ( DRM ) Digital Rights Management software on the music downloads you paid for. That is why I created this article on how to get cheap music downloads that are legal and DRM free.
Many restrictions are placed on your music files that have DRM installed with the music you download. Basically what this does is limit how many times you can burn to a CD, only allow you to have the file on 1 pc or 2, and if you lose the file. Well good luck getting another copy without paying. Too much B.S when you have paid for the music. So you want to stay away from sites that have DRM protection.

The first way to get cheap music downloads is to go to sites that are DRM free, two great sites that are DRM FREE are WWW.AMAZON.COM and WWW.LALA.COM which also has other great features listed below. Both have no DRM rights, and prices start at .89 cents a song! Look for this DRM free way of getting music to start pushing other sites to go DRM free. You can find other sites by searching for DRM free.

Another great way that is even better than the cheap music download sites is to trade your CDs online . How can you do this? Well the site I use is WWW.LALA.COM, they give you all the materials to get started, the shipping material is always free. Basically you list all your music CDs with LaLa , you then create a list of CDs you want. Your first CD is free, once your want list is created people will start to send you those CDs on your want list, the great part is the cost, how does $1.50 per CD you receive sound? SWEET! The catch is you have to start shipping CDs to others who have requested CDs that you have. You send CDs and get credits, those credits are then used to acquire the CDs you want. There are some other sites that do this concept, but LaLa is the one I am using and I love it. Check it out, it is a great way to listen to new music with out paying big bucks for new, and even trumps used CD prices.

My last links are ways to stream music to your PC, the first one is WWW.BLIP.FM this site allows you to be a sort of online DJ, you pick the songs you want to listen to and it will stream them, others can listen to what you select also. You can just go to the site and listen to the music you have selected. The other site will find new music for you off what music you like. As you listen, you give new music a thumb up or down, and it continues to find music based on your tastes. That site is WWW.PANDORA.COM.
