Where can you find and download music for free?

Downloading Free Music

Most music mp3 downloads are illegal because of the copyright on the music as well as the licensing. Most popular songs are not licensed to be freely distributed - without paying for it. This is piracy. There are several services which allow you to download single songs rather than full albums - one of which is iTunes, and will generally cost you around .99 per song.

There are some music files that are released for free downloading on the Internet. These are generally songs that are not popular or mainstream. Check with the licensing and copyrights of the song before downloading to be sure.

Since downloading music is mostly illegal as described above, WikiAnswers cannot provide information on where or how to download free music MP3 files that were not meant to be free in the first place.

As a final note: Try looking on the artist's official website or their record label's official site for any sneak peeks or any free downloads for their music. If the song is not available there, most likely it is not free to download anywhere else.

"get music free" is the short-cut for merging.
