QTrax: Free Legal Mp3 Downloads
0 Comments Published by Nick on Thursday, January 31, 2008 at 10:21 AM.
What does qTrax offer?
Free Legal Mp3 Downloads of course. But seriously, qTrax tells use ,"Qtrax is NOT just another P2P network, yet everything is legal. My question is of course is, if this is another p2p service, how will users be able to share files, yet keep everything legal? They are claiming that the advertising used in this service helps pay for the cost of each one of the downloads we make on the site. That and perhaps the lack of newly released music makes qTrax a very viable option for downloading music.

YouTube Mp3 Rip: Convert YouTube Videos to Mp3
0 Comments Published by Nick on Friday, January 25, 2008 at 6:59 AM.
Converting YouTube Videos to Mp3
1. Visit YouTube.com and save the URL.. http://....
2. Visit VidtoMp3.com and paste the Url
3. Hit Convert
4.Wait... and after conversion simply download the mp3
What to use this for?
Though the sound quality of YouTube mp3s are usually not that great, it is a great option to save sound from a music video that you just couldn't find anywhere else. Though I don't prefer this method, it is a great solution for unknown music on YouTube (when you can't figure out the artist)

Free Full Mp3 Albums - Full-Albums.net

The "Free Full Mp3 Album Download" Site I Use
Lately, I've been using full-albums.net when I really need an album. I can't promise this site is in anyway legit, only that I have gotten an album or two off this site with very little effort. Take Marsmobil - Minx, an album I recently downloaded off the site. I had been unable to locate it anywhere else, so I took the chance and got my "Free Full Mp3 Album Download" from full-albums.net.

Ever growing mp3 collection
Just how large is my mp3 collection? I downloaded over 120 gbs of music, much of it legal. I use services like spacelab to find music that makes my friends go, huh who was that? It's perfect if you own a cafe or a nightclub.

Free Streaming Music, Digitally Imported

Missed out on Club Life?
It's hard to make it to the club every weekend, so I use a free online music broadcast like Digitally Imported to satisfy what I missed out on the weekend. You'll find that digitally imported also makes up a large portion of those stations currently being listed on Shoutcast.com, a great resource for listening to music online.

Listen to Imeem, Rip Music from Imeem

Imeem, its a great little service that lets us share whatever music we want. It's a lot like Deezer, yet more in the direction of myspace. You create your own music playlists and share them on your own personal profile on Imeem. Where was I when Imeem launched?
Rip Music from imeem
So you found a couple albums you like, why not rip them from Imeem? Just head over to Orbit downloader , link here.
1.Start Grab++ from the Tools menu.
2. Grab++ should recognize the song that is playing and started immediately after being located.
3. You'll find that your songs are flv, and very large sizes.
4. You'll need to convert this to mp3 from flv with software such as Freez Flv to Mp3 Converter.

DAB, Digital Audio Broadcast, Digital Radio
0 Comments Published by Nick on Monday, January 14, 2008 at 8:17 AM.
Still tuning into the radio at home? Maybe it's time for an upgrade. If you haven't tuned in yet, you might have missed out on DAB, the new digital radio broadcasting format.
What is DAB?
DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting. Its digitally broadcasted radio over the airwaves. This means higher, more cd like quality. DAB has the ability to fit more data within a single amount of airspace. This means offering many more stations in the same amount of frequencies.
DAB in America?
It seems the United States didn't jump on the DAB broadcast bandwagon. Instead, the US uses HD radio, a very similar technology. Instead, you'll find DAB in Canada and Europe. Click here to see if HD radio is available in your area.
Reciever?
Yes you will need a special HD reciever to experience HD radio. At the moment these are still pricey as HD radio has not yet been fully realized.

Clickster, Download Legal Mp3s Online
0 Comments Published by Nick on Saturday, January 12, 2008 at 7:10 AM.
You might have noticed that P2P networks are not always the best solution for downloading music. Searching on the internet can be a more legal, and quicker approach. Along comes the clickster...
Clickster
Rather than connecting two computers together, Clickster lets us download legal mp3s online from the web. It searches the web for the best songs and files. Consider it a downloadable version of g2p.org, a site that searches google for music contained within it's webpages. Clickster will take that same approach and search all of the internet for you.
Download.com gave clickster 3 and a half stars out of 5. I'd rank it the same. Clickster won't find everything you are looking for, but a majority of it us, yes.

I never really put much thought into Hindu music, but recently I was pointed out to http://www.123musiq.com/. This site offers exclusively Indian music, whether it's Indian mp3 music soundtracks, or Indian mp3 pop albums.
Too Many Ads?
Like most music sites, you will have to navigate through the various ads. Though, most of us can distinguish between what is an ad and what isn't.
Overwhelmed?
If you are new to the world of Indian music, you might find yourself overwhelmed and uncertain what Indian music to download. I'd recommend look at the newest songs and working from there, otherwise, just dive in and see what pleases you!

Sometimes I have to take a break from electronic and rock music to listen to something simpler and somewhat brain challenging. Karadar seems to be the perfect for solution for those looking to hearing classical music, where its classical Bach, Beethoven, or Byrd Karadar has it for free, legal, and in the Mp3 format.
Just Classical Music?
I made the mistake of searching for Radiohead at first. Of course Radiohead never composed classical music. It can be much easier browser by letter rather than searching for a certain artist.

100% legal mp3s, What is the Catch?
0 Comments Published by Nick on Saturday, January 5, 2008 at 4:14 AM.
So you paid $25 for an mp3 program that claims that its services are 100% legal and with it you can download all the mp3s you want. What is the catch?
Don't pay for illegal file downloaders
You might have seen services out there claiming 100% legal service. Just a $25 sign up fee and you are ready to go. Don't pay it! All these 100% "legal" mp3 services is do is take money out of your bank account and give you programs that otherwise would have been free. What they aren't telling you is, these programs are illegal. Record companies do not get any money from your subscription, probably just some guy in Romania who is making a living off your mistake.

Some Songs, Downloading Free Legal Mp3s Online
0 Comments Published by Nick on Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 3:38 AM.
SomeSongs.com offers just that, some songs. It updates a new listing of free music tracks everyday with no songs hosted directly on SomeSongs, rather everything is linked to that respected artist's music site. Considering everything on this site is considered legal, you won't find the latest Madonna or Radiohead album, rather a mix of interesting tracks by artists like the Von Bots or Eftos.
Is interesting better?
Some would say that the interesting range of free music out there is better than the music being promoted by rich record labels. Aren't artists just a little more creative when they have to fend for their own with no one supporting them? Most of the artists on SomeSongs will probably be your first and maybe last listen but, consider that the artists here are just trying to make good beats. Some of the free legal mp3s will even be infinately better than anything you'll here on a Record Label supported album.

Strange, free and legal doesn't seem to apply to Mp3s anymore. Even the RIAA is looking into search aggregators, those like elbo.ws that let us search through the mass of blogs and websites for songs. Can we blame them?
Stereogum's Free Mp3's
Stereogum likes to mix interesting music and let us download, completely for free. They take hit songs, non hits, all alike and combine stuff together for an interesting audio experience. You'd be surprised how two songs coming together can form something new, yet sometimes even better than the original. Try listening to the last batch of free legal mp3's stereo 9 vs Stereogum, more often than not, you've heard these songs before...

PureVolume, Listen to Music Free Online

Listen to the top signed and unsigned artists online. Purevolume brings the best of artists lucky enough get signed and also the best of the unsigned world of music.
You can also view by category, genre, whatever you like. Find what you want to listen to and PureVolume lets you listen to the track fully, though at low quality. I would recommend PureVolume as a way to find out about new artists, but its low quality streams, make we wonder if anyone really enjoys listening to telephone quality sounding music. Doesn't that just heart your ears more than give you great music?
