Downloading Music for Free

By Christina Bultinck

Can you imagine how much money you could spend it you ran out and bought an entire CD just for that one song you had to have? That is why file sharing and downloading music for free has electrified music lovers around the world. File sharing is not just a means of downloading music for free, it also lets you search huge databases of songs you forgot you loved!

What is File Sharing?
There are billions if not gazillions of songs, and there is no way that a server could handle making all those songs available for free download to millions of people. That is why file sharing is used. Instead of one server handling all the data and requests, each individual computer hosts songs and offers free MP3 downloads to other users’ computers. This way you have millions of individual computers hosting free MP3s. Communities such as Gnutella, offer the software that makes file sharing possible.

Do These Software Programs Have Spyware?
Free music download lovers can relax. KaxaaLite, iMeshlite, GroksterLite, OvernetLite, and AresLite are clean clients meaning they do not have spyware or adware bundled in.

Where Can You Download Music For Free?
Blubster is a free file sharing peer to peer (P2P) network of free MP3s available for download. Free music downloads are fast and if you should get kicked offline during the middle of a download, Blubster will automatically resume where it left off.
