A search for “free music downloads” listed MTV as the number one result. Their site promises:
“all the hottest downloads from your favorite artists. From pop star powerhouses to up-and-coming emo bands and everything in between, we have all the hottest music for your iPod or MP3 player. And you can keep coming back for more kick-ass freebies whenever you want!”
I didn’t see anything I wanted to hear, so I did a search for a band I like. That’s when I found this offer:
“You can listen to 25 full songs each month for free on MTV.com with audio streams provided by Rhapsody. No strings attached. Just click on the play icon and start listening. After you hear 25 songs within your 30-day period, Rhapsody will continue to deliver music to you in 30-second preview clips.
When your month is up, the counter resets and you get a fresh 25 free full song plays on MTV.com. And so on … If 25 songs is not enough for you, consider a Rhapsody membership. Rhapsody members have access to more than 2 million unlimited full songs on MTV.com, VH1.com, Rhapsody.com and many other sites.”
So I went to see what Rhapsody is about.
“Download the latest Rhapsody Music Software and manage all your music in one place. When you register, you can play 25 full-length songs each month, purchase and burn the tracks you want, and tune in to 25 Rhapsody Channels for non-stop music. This is the only music software you’ll ever need.”
Sounds like a couple of decent options, especially considering it won’t end you up in court. But we’ll continue to examine other ways to deliver your music with internet speed in future posts.
