FREE Music!

I've known about this for a while and I don't know why I didn't think of blogging about it before now.  Hopefully, this is new and helpful to some of you.  Although if it is not new then that's great because you are already taking advantage of it.  So anyway, if you have an mp3 player and want to try some music without having to pay for it, here is a LEGAL way to do it.  (By the way, it is illegal to have music, movies, etc. on your mp3 player or on a copied disk that you have taken off a friend's cd/dvd, a library cd/dvd, a netflix dvd, etc.  Sorry, that's the law.  Don't shoot the messenger.)

So for the FREE music, you can go to Amazon and search for FREE songs or albums by clicking HERE.  Look on the right hand side and you'll see the top downloaded FREE songs.  Below that are the top downloaded FREE albums.

Or you can go to the iTunes store.  If you scroll down to the bottom of the page there is a spot that says "Free on iTunes".  Click there and you can get FREE songs, videos, television episodes, and podcasts.

You can also get FREE music at your local Starbucks store.  They typically have a display of "pick of the week" cards either on the counter where you order, pick-up, or doctor your coffee.  On the back of the card is a code with instructions on how to download the song.  You do need to have an iTunes account for this.  They update every Tuesday.

Another way to get FREE music is at walmart.com.  If you click HERE, you will see about five songs that you can choose to download for FREE.

I'm sure there are many other places to download FREE music.  These are just a few that I know.  By far, amazon.com gives the widest selection from which to choose.

I hope this helps some of you in your quest to build your music library or try new styles of music or new artists.
