MP3 Download Sites And Free Music Download Trials

MP3 download - Because of RIAA lawsuit risks and safety concerns about using P2P file sharing sites, legal music sites are more popular than ever. There are thousands of music download sites online - along with a variety of ways to download music.

With that being said, when searching online for MP3 download sites, it's important to be mindful of a few things. You should verify that the site provides a good music selection because having access to a limited music database is useless to you. Also, check that the music downloads are of an acceptable speed to ensure the highest sound quality possible.

In looking to avoid the legal murkiness of some free music sites, there are several online music services which are completely sanctioned by the music industry. Some of the more popular legal MP3 download sites includes; Napster, iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, and eMusic.

Napster:

Napster is the company that popularized getting MP3 downloads online. Although the original Napster was shut down by court order, it has been revived as an online music service offering music streaming and downloads.

7-day Free trial of NapsterThe new Napster now has a variety of subscription options available for you to choose from, including the popular Napster to go plan. For a monthly fee, Napster allows you to listen to an unlimited number of songs.

These songs can be stored on your computer but you need to maintain your Napster membership in order to access the MP3 download files. Songs can also be purchased which gives you the right to burn MP3 files to CD or store them permanently on your computer hard drive.

Napster provides a free 7-day trial

The iTunes Music Store:

The Apple iPod is a very popular portable media player so it's no surprise that the iTunes Music Store is one of the most popular music services on the Internet. The iPod comes bundled with the iTunes software which can be used to buy songs, videos and albums online.

And, like Napster, the iTunes music store allows you to preview music clips before buying them. Although the iTunes Music Store is the most popular music service on the Internet, unfortunately songs bought from iTunes are protected with Digital Rights Management (DRM). DRM restricts the way your music can be used. For example, with DRM restrictions music you buy can only be burned to CD a limited number of times. The songs can be broadcast on a private network, but the number of computers that can receive the broadcast is limited to five at any one time.

eMusic:

eMusic is very popular for having over two million, DRM free music downloads for iPod.

eMusic offers Independent labels from around the world and they provide some iPod music downloads accessible with copy-protection on Apple's iTunes. The eMusic subscription packages work differently than other online music sites. When you join eMusic you'll get a fixed number of downloads every month.

One huge advantage of eMusic is that, unlike Napster and iTunes, emusic doesn't have annoying DRM restrictions. For example, if you cancel the iTunes service, you will no longer be allowed to play the songs that you've already paid for. Your eMusic song downloads have NO DRM penalities and, therefore, the songs you've paid for are yours for life.

Plus, eMusic provides a very generous 14 day free music download trial giving you 25 free MP3 downloads for your iPod or any MP3 player. Even if you decide to cancel your eMusic trial, the free songs you downloaded are still yours to keep! Very cool.
