Music websites and free MP3 downloads
Here's a selection of sites where you can find legal free MP3s and free music downloads, as well as some places where you can buy digital music.
14 day free trial of Real Rhapsody (US only)
If you're based in the US, Real Rhapsody offers you a catalogue of over 1.3 million legal tracks. You can burn CDs for $79c a song and can listen to 60 ad-free stations. You can also create your own custom station, playing your kind of music. You'll need a Windows PC.
Sign up for a free 14 day trial now.
Get 25 free MP3s from Emusic.com (worldwide)
In 1998, Emusic.com became the first site to start selling MP3s. Surprisingly, it's survived the boom and bust of file sharing and is still with us today. What's more, it's still selling MP3s for just 25 cents without any digital rights restrictions, so you can easily copy them to portable devices (including iPods) and burn them to CDs. Don't expect to find Kylie and Britney - the range is wide but not comprehensive and tends towards indie and obscure music. Acts available include Warren Zevon, The Pixies, Clannad, XTC and Ella Fitzgerald. There are 275,000 tracks to choose from across 12 categories, including a well-stocked classical section. Emusic is ideal for the serious music explorer looking to broaden his or her music collection. At about 14p to own a track, you can't go wrong. Emusic.com is based in the US and its MP3s are fully licensed and legal.
