Legal Music Downloads Review
Legal Music Downloads Review
offers a free unbiased guide with reviews of the top legal music downloads services.
Music downloads are widely available on the Internet. These services basically work the same way: You buy a monthly subscription and then have access to stream all the songs you want from the online music catalog. You can also download a certain number of songs or purchase on a per-track basis to burn to a CD or transfer to a portable player.
There are usually a few restrictions, mostly regarding songs that have not been given the licensing rights from the owners who hold the publishing rights.
Also remember that “download” doesn’t necessarily mean you can burn it as well. Another consideration is to check and see if the sites are available in your country.
Most legal music downloads services have excellent search engines, programmed radio stations, resources for recommending similar music and unlimited tethered downloads.
The top services also have catalog access to the big five labels- Universal, Warner, Sony, EMI and BMG. This accounts for all but 20% of recorded music.
It’s these features that separate the legal music downloads sites from the dumping grounds of the swap shops. They want to entice you and keep you happy. So be looking for added features with more value and options in the near future.
Most sites charge a per-month fee for unlimited streaming, tethered downloads, and limited burning. Permanent downloads, burning and extra packs are available. Other plans are sometimes offered.
Let’s review the top legal music downloads sites:
