LimeWire - Free Song Downloads
© 37Hz

There are many different music distribution services such as iTunes, Zune Marketplace, Rhapsody, and the like that offer thousands of different titles on a pay per song basis. But what if you just don't want to pay? What do you do? You download LimeWire. LimeWire is a peer to peer file sharing software with a built in search engine. With the free LimeWire software you can search and choose from thousands of songs, albums, and artists and have them downloaded to your PC in just seconds... absolutely free!

Can't find the particular song or artist you're looking for? You can upgrade to the LimeWire Pro software that features a more intuitive search engine that is guaranteed to find a considerable amount more files for you to pick through. The Pro service is $35 a year, but that's still a bargain considering the fact that the music you download is free and yours to keep.

Zune Pass - Unlimited Music Downloads

Zune Pass - Unlimited Music Downloads
© ShinyHat1

Don't you hate it when you buy an entire album for ten to twenty dollars only to find that the single you heard on the radio a hundred times already is the only good song on the entire thing? Most people would remedy this situation by only downloading the singe instead of going out and buying an entire album. But what if the rest of the album actually is good and you're missing out? Should you buy the entire album or shouldn't you? It's a gamble to say the least.

Well, there's no better solution to this problem than Zune Pass. Zune Pass is a subscription service that goes hand in hand with the Microsoft Zune music marketplace software. For $14.95 a month you get unlimited music downloads. Yes, for the price of a single album a month you can download hundreds! If you don't like the album you just downloaded then delete it and make room for more - no harm done! The terms of the subscription authorize you to play anything you download as much as you want for as long as you want as long as the subscription stays up to date. Happy Downloading!

Musical Experience on the iPad

Filed in archive Apple on June 24, 2010

Musical Experience on the iPad
© techshout.com

We have no intention of buying what we see as neither a fully-fledged laptop or a portable media player, but we wondered whether Apple had made any headway in embracing a more open experience of music with their iPad. We took a look.

Along with the same inevitable problems borne out of a stubborn Gates-ian desire to dominate the market to the point where there is no competition left (such as an annoying lack of Flash and a need to download apps for basic elements like a clock), the one thing that stands out is the lack of a media player except iTunes. For this reason we would like to ask you readers out there if any downloadable alternatives have been viable on your iPad, or have they just taken up room or slowed the whole thing down? Is QuickTime an option? Yet again, with their new overblown and oversized iPod Touch, Apple seem to be placing importance on the ability to sync your iPod up with the iPad. Apparently the speakers are of surprisingly good quality when listening to music and watching videos, and listening through headphones beats the quality of most laptops out there, but we question whether too many will be buying the iPad to enjoy music. Let us know what you think.

Next week we'll be taking a look at the new iPhone. Exciting!...

Legalsounds.com Review

Filed in archive Website Reviews on June 17, 2010

In our search for legal alternatives to iTunes, we found a site called Legalsounds. It has become one of our favourites, and we thought we'd let you know about it.

Legalsounds.com Review

It's easy to sign up and all you have to do is upload money to your account, allowing for quick and easy downloads. Large installments are encouraged as $40 will get you 50 free tracks. The range of music available is extensive and while the quality might not be the best (although it is, for the most part, no less than the much higher-priced iTunes) you can re-download files for free as many times as you see fit.

We thought we'd leave the best element to last. Individual tracks are priced at 9 cents, and albums are normally around $1.20. Legal music at this price is incredibly refreshing, and it begs the question as to how much Steve Jobs is pocketing every time you pay 79 cents for one track.

Let us know what you think of Legalsounds. We want to keep competition alive in the music industry, so keep letting us know about other alternatives out there!
