Download Music! Legally And Free...

SoundClick.com
SoundClick is another website that offers free music downloads. They offer more genres than PureVolume does, but the website layout/design is a bit more confusing. SoundClick offers downloadable music from more unknown artists. Don’t forget that the most famous artists were ‘unknown’ at one time. Don’t let this turn you off. There’s some nice stuff on SoundClick.
The disadvantages of SoundClick are similar to PureVolume, although they more clearly refer to legal issues like ‘Terms of Use’, “Privacy Policy’ and ‘Legal Use’ with links on the bottom of the homepage.
According to the SoundClick “Terms of Agreement,” (to be found by clicking the ‘legal’ link at the bottom of the page) the user of SoundClick has full responsibility for accidentally downloading illegal music. The user also has no appeal in response to whatever the company does with information collected on users while they are using the ‘service’. At a minimum, the company shares your private information with their affiliates and installs cookies on your computer to track your every move.
Also with SoundClick you don’t necessarily have to register to download their music, although they will try to make you believe you have to. Don’t be too quick filling out the forms, just head to the songs immediately and download the music.
That’s it for the decent and ‘free’ music websites out there.

2) ‘Free’ Music Streams and Paid download Sites
So what do you do if you only want access to the popular stuff? There are some websites out there that offer ways to listen to all the popular music you want. You just can’t download it for free.
MP3.com
If you go to MP3.com’s ‘free music’ section, they provide a whole bunch of popular music that you can download or listen to for free. In this section you can listen to popular songs of albums, but not the whole album. If you like the song, you can get a free preview of the other songs on the CD.
MP3.com also picks a bunch of popular new CD releases, and offers these as free full album streams. If you then like the music you’re listening to, they give you plenty of ways to download this music legally, but for a charge, of course.
On the whole, MP3.com is more of a source where you can find music, and then download or stream it from other websites (which we’ll have a closer look at in just a second). Most music you find on the site (other than in the ‘free’ section) will only give you a 30 second preview, or will guide you to another website where you can stream the music.
Things get a bit confusing at MP3.com; therefore you might want to look at the next service first.
Download.com Music
Affiliated with MP3.com is CNET’s Download.com Music Section. They offer a wide variety of music in a structured collection. Plenty of music to stream here, and no need to give out any private information if you don’t want to. Again, you can listen to all the music you want for free, but if you want to download it, it'll cost you.
