Apple.com Ipod: start downloading free songs and movies-you won't
be disappointed. Everyone knows how cool Ipods are, they are THE
Mp3 player to have. It seems like just about everyone in the world
has an Ipod these days. The only downside to owning one is downloading
songs from Itunes-it's not that great and it can be expensive! To
help you get around that, I've made a list of tips here to help you
get your downloads for free-legally!
Music Collection Tip 1
Don’t break the law. Is it really worth going to jail or getting
a huge fine just for some free Mp3s? There are a few completely legal
sites to download MP3s from (more on this later), so try and stay away
from the torrent sites and things like that. You may feel anonymous
but when you make illegal downloads you will leave traces of your IP
address, and anyone with half a brain can find your real home address
details from that!
Music Collection Tip 2
Don’t believe the hype. How many times have you found a “free” music
download site only to be asked to create a membership and pay some
money? Anyway, you’ll soon find that most sites claiming to offer
free music game or video downloads offer nothing of the sort. As soon
as you try and download something they will do their best to get your
credit card details or make you sign up for some kind of membership
scheme-be careful!
Music Collection Tip 3
Don’t be taken in by the trashy sites. You’ll find a lot
of sites online that will maybe offer one or two free downloads, but
will seriously spam you with popup's and stuff while you try and get
those downloads. Sites like that make good money from advertising,
so make sure you’re aware of what they really want! You’ll
also find that downloads from sites like this are A, mind-numbingly
slow, and B, sometimes not even what you asked for. As a little extra
gift they sometimes even contain spyware or viruses! I avoid sites
like this completely-You wouldn't’t want your Ipod ruined by
some bad downloads would you?
But wait, it’s not all bad! There are a select few sites online
that are perfectly legal and will allow you to download anything you
want- games, music, videos, whatever, and all for free on an unlimited
basis. What’s the catch? Well there is an admin fee. It’s
usually between $25 and $50 or so, and covers your downloads for life.
The fee is necessary as it helps them keep the download speeds high
and to make sure they have all the latest music games and videos for
your Ipod. If you are looking to get a serious amount of downloads,
a site like this is going to be your best bet.
As you’ve seen, there can be more to finding somewhere to get
free Ipod downloads than you first thought, so take some time to weigh
up the pros and cons. For more info on which are the best legal sites,
