How to Download Music From Blogs

Blogs are great places to find new music.

For every genre of music, there is a plethora of blogs offering songs for you to download. The purpose of these blogs is purely to give you a sample so you can decide whether you will buy the full album. To start sampling, the first thing you'll need is a blog offering music downloads. Websites like The Hype Machine and Elbows aggregate thousands of music blogs, letting you browse them all in one place.

Instructions

1. Open a music blog in your web browser and find the song you are interested in downloading. Links to downloads are often blue and underlined.

2. Right-click on the link and select "Save link as..." from the drop-down menu. Choose where you want to save the file and click "Save."

3. Once the file has finished downloading, locate it on your computer. Music you download from blogs is often compressed into a "zip" file. To decompress the file, simply double click on it and wait for your computer to complete the operation.

4. Open the music files in your music player (such as iTunes).
