Introduction
With the rise of the Internet, downloading a song into your computer, or Mp3 player has never been easier! There are literally millions of songs, from old songs, to the latest hits, English songs and other songs! All you need is a computer with Internet access and you can start downloading any song by your favorite musician!
Step 1
Before we begin, you should know that it is possible to download music on the internet both legally and illegally. Illegally downloading music means that you are copying a song into your computer without the permission of the song’s owner. Normally, this is done to avoid paying any fees for the song. In this article, however, we will focus on how to legally download a song by a specific singer or a band of your choice.
Step 2
Some of the most popular online stores to download music on the internet include the iTunes store, Amazon MP3, Zune Marketplace and eMusic. You can probably find a song by your favorite band or artist in one of these sites. You will have to pay a small fee for the songs or albums you get from these sites.
Step 3
The first thing you have to do to start downloading from these sites by a specific artsit is to open up your web browser and go to the store’s website. If you don’t know the address of their site, you can always Google it. Next, you will have to sign up and set up an account with them. This part is free but they might still ask for your credit card details. Once you have an account, you can search the name of your favorite band, and start downloading immediately.
Step 4
You should know that many of these sites have legal and technical restrictions in place to prevent you from making extra copies of the songs you buy so that you can’t share them with your friends for free. Sometimes, these restrictions can also prevent you from playing these songs on some digital music players. Another thing you will want to know is that the quality of internet music downloads is not typically quite as great as CD-quality music. This is because most sites use compression to make the song’s file size smaller. The benefit of a smaller song size is that you can finish downloading the song by your favorite artist more quickly!
Step 5
You can also download a song by some bands by going directly to their websites. Most of these websites have a lower quality or a shorter preview version of a song you can download. If you like what you hear, you can buy the song by that group directly through their website or an online music store that is linked to the band’s website. Many new or independent groups use this method to sell their music because they don’t need to sign contracts with large music labels to distribute their songs.
Tips
Now that you know how to download any song by your favorite group, what are you waiting for? Download and enjoy some music!
