Are you fed up of spending highly exaggerated sums of money for buying your favorite music CDs? Do you want a cheaper solution? Well then your solution has arrived and now you don't need to worry. Don't think that with the death of Napster, free music also died. Napster led the way for the world to get free music online. There are literally thousands of websites offering free music online. And its not just about free music, you can also download the pics of your favorite stars, download lyrics or simply print them to keep a hard copy of the music lyrics. And all these come for free. What more can you ask for.



These websites which offer free music are generally not legal, though, as a customer you don't need to worry unless you are their only client:). You can find unlimited free music on every kind of music. Whether you like hard rock or classical, or whether you like country music or pop music, it's all there for you and that too free. You can download free music from these sites and burn them on CDs if you want to listen to them on your player or just keep them on your hard disk if you want to listen to them on your PC. There are also websites that offer free music for Latin or Hindi songs. Numerous websites have sprouted up on the same line of Napster that offer free music in the various regional languages. He top websites offering free music are:

1. www.ram.org

2. www.mp3.com

3. www.artistdirect.com

4. www.music.download.com

And like these top few websites there are thousands more. While there are some websites that offer music absolutely free, there are others that charge a very nominal fee either on per song basis or as an upfront joining fee. This fee that these websites charge is used for upgradation of music collection and maintenance of the website. But even at the end of the day after paying them their fee you'll realize that for the same quality and quantity of music it's not even a fraction of what you would have paid at the music store.

Truly speaking, the age of free music has dawned and all of the music industry too must accept it.

Another technology that can be used for sharing music is p2p (peer to peer). If some friend of yours has a song or collection which you want then you can very easily copy it from him. For utilizing this mode of free music download you both just need to have the same p2p software like morpheus or limewire or kaazaa etc. You can also search for the song or other stuff using these p2p softwares.
