Public Domain Music Downloads - Effortless To Find And More Painless To Use

By: Isaiah Henry

The whole issue of what is �public domain� and what is not can be rather confusing. Generally speaking, music that has not been copyrighted (usually that is music produced and recorded in the very early 1920�s or before) is considered public domain. In laymen�s terms, it is music which is not �owned� by anyone.

Some free downloads may be of poor quality, but you could luck out and get some great sounding tracks for free. If you want to ensure consistent, high-quality downloads, you are probably better off considering a site that charges a fee. In many cases there are free introductory offers. Even when you are asked to pay a membership fee, they are very reasonable in price. Free sites typically have a limited amount of songs available while public domain music download sites that charge a fee usually give you access to many more songs and provide copies that could rival the master tracks.

If you have never downloaded public domain music before, don�t be intimidated. It is a simple process that requires just a few easy steps. If you are not exactly sure what the term �download� means, here is a simple definition: Download (whether they are music, text or data files) refers to transferring the files from a computer which is hooked-up to the internet or website to a user�s computer. So, you access a downloading site or website and transfer it to your computer. Once on your computer, you can save it to a disk or to a portable device � the most popular being the Mp3 player.

Whether you prefer Miles Davis or Bob Dylan or Tim McGraw � or any other artist�s music, you can rest assured you can find it on the internet. Do be careful, you don�t want to download music from an illegal site; it is against the law. Illegal sites are usually pretty easy to spot because they offer �free, unlimited downloads� with absolutely no time or song limit. In addition to breaking the law, many of these sites offer poor quality downloads.

Public domain music downloads are available from many reputable sites. Among the most popular are Napster-Tunes, which has more than five-million songs and 250 genres represented. MyRhapsody.com and 1000Musicdownloads.com are two other sites worth checking out. Most sites will allow you to download songs for free during a trial period. Most trial periods range from one to three weeks � maximum. After the trial period, you can join and pay a nominal membership fee. The monthly fee is usually considerably less than what you would expect to pay for one CD or album.

Other really good sites to consider: Napster-Tunes which has 5 million full-length songs, representing more than 250 genres. 1000Musicdownloads.com is another site which is legal and offers a free trial membership before you have to pay anything at all. So, choose your site and double or triple the size of your music collection in only a few hours � or less.
