Higher quality files for the music “connoisseur”: http://www.hdtracks.com
Buy directly from the artist: https://bandcamp.com
Then there are the usual suspects...iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, EMusic, etc, etc..
I hope you aren’t referring to downloading pirated/stolen music files....support the artists!
Bottom line,I was able to assemble a collection of about 5,000 songs...all in wav file format (meaning CD quality sound)...all burned to CD-Rs.
If music is as important to you as it is to me nothing less than CD quality sound would do.
“It is okay to hate democrats”.
Every song you've purchased can be downloaded. I do it all the time.
I suppose you think it’s wrong to steal illicit drugs from a dealer, too.
lol
Before you know it, it’s Friday! :)
I’m not really purchasing them. I’m borrowing them for 8 bucks a month :(
But someone said I CAN get it to play through my relatively new car from my cell phone so I shall endeavor to undertake that task.
“...now Tuesday means Wednesday.”
Monday I’ve got Friday on my mind.
If you can learn how to work with torrents I can show you how to find more music than you can listen to in a lifetime.
Amazon MP3 isn’t free but they do have unprotected music that’s easy to use.
Go to tela.sugarmegs.org. Everything you desire is there. Some of it is soundboard, others excellent audience and some for purely historical keeping. Pm me and I will pass along some other sites.
Yes, they do. I do I routinely.
Did you purchase them? If yes, then yes you can download them to your computer.
I subscribe to Napster with a small fee per month. I can access just about everything. Or I might access music via Youtube.
I bought SoundTap - a program that allows me to play an .mp3 on the computer — via Napster, youtube, or whatever — and it records the song as I am playing it. I may have to edit the beginning or end of the song in my music editing software depending on how precise I am in hitting record/stop when I start/stop the song.
Now I have a permanent .mp3 or .wav of the song. I don’t use that technique for every song — just those songs where I want a permanent copy and might need to speed up/slow it down, pitch shift, etc to learn that song as a musician.
For recreational listening I’ll just surf through napster or youtube and stream the songs.
I often see on amazon that there are songs busted out separately that can be purchased - I think - for such as 99c and so on. OTOH, when I search for music, I often DON’T see those listings as if the song by itself was for download and sale. Is there a way to tell when doing the searches? Or do I have to click on every item to see if it’s individually downloadable?
This is primarily for our newer car, which only uses USB port so we have been using the memory sticks.
So, are you saying for my memory stick, I couldn’t just directly download from iTunes? I’d have to put some iTunes SW on my computer or such first?
I am not looking for freebies.
Of course, most of what I might want probably long ago lost any “rights”.
Ok. I think musicians keep their “copyright” for a long time (if renewed? Am not a lawyer)...the “Happy Birthday” song guy’s family still gets royalties...that is why you hear a “generic B-Day song” sung by waiter/waitresses in some chain restaurants like Chili’s or Applebees. The record companies & “sellers” make the most $ off artists songs anyway, that is why I root for something like “Bandcamp” to take off.
I take it that you are into “more seasoned” bands? ;-)
