Love to Know Music

Written by Nick on April 25, 2008

love2know1.JPGThe site, offers free and legal downloads for members and it has quite a collection of free downloads form a myriad of artists. From Country Music, Reggae, Smashing Pumpkins, Electronica and more music from around the globe, they have them all ready for download. They might not have the big names but they have some of the most promising artists along with their music videos which they also offer for free. They even feature MySpace music codes to go with your downloads along with band profiles and the likes. The site contains genre information, band profiles, events information (Schedules), other sources of free music and tips on how you can get your hands on your favorite tunes.
The people who make up the site say they’re just like anybody else who loves music, they’re mad about their tunes. And what better way than to spread the news so others can see and hear what you’re talking about. In today’s world of paid downloads this is truly a find. Just browsed around for sites and they just popped right out. Checked it out and there they were, all free and all legal. That’s the best part, for no threat of being hounded by the RIAA for downloading and copying illegal stuff a couple of years back (see previous post). There are a lot of sites out there that still offer some of the best free music but they are getting wiped out by commercial sites. Unlike college approved sites like Ruckus, they do not have much in terms of money gaining potential. Going P2P is getting harder too but they are still around for they just keep eluding the guys who are out to get them.
P2P has lost some of its shine due to problems with privacy and malware yet many still choose them as a source of all types of downloads. Governments have been stepping up measures to limit and even shut them down but these P2P sites still manage to keep one step ahead of them all the time.

emusic.jpgEmusic is one of the premiere sources of high quality Mp3 Music to date offering 128-bitrate quality audio music. It has over 2.5 million song in its archives from 13,000 independent record labels that spans the whole spectrum of genre’s. It is primarily a paid subscription service that offers a 50 song free bonus upon initial setup. You also have to get the toolbar which allows quick and easy searching, browsing and playing of preferred songs directly from their site. The site caters mostly for those users who are reliant on Portable Digital Players that uses the MP3 Format which allows easy uploading and use of the said downloaded files. As with other format’s there are some that need files to be translated so to speak into the specific player’s format for maximum enjoyment of the player’s features and capabilities. The MP3 format has long been recognized as the standard for digital music used and recognized by all players from all the different manufacturers around the world. They also use a download manager which gives the user easy downloading and management of those said downloads.

The Site has specific web sites for US, the UK and a generic site for Europe for regional preferences. The site, being a paid download service allows users to own the music they download and not rent it which can be en-likened to buying a CD with all the tracks inside belonging to you. Paying protects you from the ERM issue and many of the member labels being independent, they are mostly offered royalty free. The next posts would give more sites that offer MP3 audio files in high quality formats paid or free.
