free music downloadsThe only thing better and easier than downloading music off the Internet from the comfort of your home is being able to do it for free. As almost any college student can tell you, there is a veritable smorgasbord of online server networks dedicated to the sharing of all file types, most specifically, MP3s. Although there are a large number of pay-sites throughout the Internet including the revamped Napster system, Apple's own itunes music store and the AOL sponsored MusicNet, there are even more services through which music can be downloaded for free. If you've followed the natural progression of file swapping / music downloading, then you'll know that it started with Cute FTP type technology connecting one user to another. This was followed up by the many-to-many connections provided by the Napster revolution. When Napster went national and got shut down, the network of choice became Scour, and when it disappeared, Gnuttela and Kazaa followed it.The music industry and musicians alike have become more vocal as concern grows about how the industry will be affected by file swapping and free downloading. The problem gained national attention after songs began to be leaked onto the Internet before the release of CDs, threatening to severely damage sales. Musicians complained of songs reaching the public before they were even finished. Most recently, CNET, a site that has been offering free downloads for 8 years based on advertisements, is going to offer free music downloads of artists who are not represented by major record companies. The songs are uploaded to the CNET server by the musicians themselves, who therefore dictate what makes the grade and what doesn't. The beauty of the CNET system is that anyone can upload his or her music. It is uncertain in which direction the free music downloading wave is headed, but you can be sure that as long as there is an Internet, there will be piracy and illegal free downloading. ]-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[ Take your downloaded music everywhere by purchasing an MP3 Player
