Free Legal Music Downloads Without Registration
Downloading songs from the Internet is always a “hot issue” particularly with respect to the copyright owners. One thing that you should take note is that music is an asset that is copyrightable (has owners). It is of the same concept like you are owning a real estate and possessing a land title. In that case, no one can use your property without paying any value or rent. The same thing would happen if you are a music copyright owner.
The good thing with music is that it is more “relax” in terms of using materials that you do not own. One thing is to determine when does music fall into the public domain. Public domain materials have no owners therefore anyone can use and download the material without registration. But again searching public domain music may not be your type…
So how can you find ways to legally download free music in the Internet without registration?
Tip#1: Indie artist would offer some of their songs for free
It is indeed hard to find quality music for free on the Internet. The public domain music is fine but highly outdated. Most websites like Amazon, iTunes, CD Baby needs users to be registered and a lot of information is needed before someone can download music. Most of them are not for free.
But thanks to the indie music industry; they are happy to share their music and would always be looking for new fans. The secret is to find them. One of reliable and easy to use website is SoundCloud:
a.) Search tracks here:
http://soundcloud.com/tracks/search
For example, leave the form blank and click “Show advance search options”. You can then select what genre you like (e.g. rock) as well as the license. You can also set if you are looking for original work instead of a cover or a demo.
Then click the following (it will turn to orange):
-free to use commercially
-free to modify
-no rights reserved
-downloadable
This is how it looks like:
