Downloading music online for free is not a new discovery. Many people have been doing to for years now. The one thing that has changed is how and where it is done. With all the piracy laws and bands fighting against free downloads of their music it has gotten tougher to find. The free music is still available and can be found in several places online. You just have to know where to look.

One of the more popular ways people are finding free music online is through P2P programs. These programs use a system that allows users to join a network and share the files they have on their computer with other users.

The amount of music files you can find on these programs will depend on the amount of people logged on with that file. The networks range from small to huge. One of the more popular P2P networks is Limewire. It offers a safe and secure way to share your music with others. You are able to download the files to your computer and save them however you wish.

You simply enter a band name, artist name or song title in the search box and choose audio files under file types. You will then be greeted with a long list of songs to choose from. The user information will be displayed as well as any rating the file has received. In most cases you will see how many times the file has been downloaded; this will assist in determining if the file is good and safe.

The user rating it given by users who have previous downloaded the file. The higher the number the better the chance of the file being safe and of good quality. You can also go by the amount of times it has been downloaded by other users. A high number usually indicates a good quality file.

You should make sure you are familiar with the different file extensions associated with music files as well as a good idea of what size the file should be. There are users who will rename a file to a popular search in order to trick another user into placing it on their hard drive. You should read through all the information given about piracy in the program. You want to ensure you are not doing anything illegal. The laws can be complex and if you need more help understanding them there are several places online to find the information in easy to understand text.

In addition to the P2P programs there are several communities such as iTunes and Yahoo that offer music downloads with membership. You are given preview songs as they are released and with membership you get so many free downloads as well as all the discounted downloads you can handle.

Always be safe when downloading anything from the internet. Make sure you have a good antivirus program installed on your computer and run a scan on any downloaded file before opening it and exposing your system to a possible virus.
