Easy Ways To Find Music Downloads And MP3 Downloads

July 31st, 2009 at 06:43pm Under music copyright

If you’re looking for music downloads, there are a number of places to look. In the recent past, people were nervous to download music in the fear that they would be violating copyright laws. These days there are a number of options that offer music downloads on an individual or peer-to-peer basis, all through legal means. These sites may offer an extended range of videos, podcasts, films and other perks such as unreleased material and special offers; either on a one-off basis, or through a subscription service.
What are MP3 downloads?
MP3s (or MPEG Audio Layer 3) offer a way of compressing music files into a smaller digital format, which can then be easily stored and sent over the internet as music downloads. Audio files are converted via psycho-acoustic algorithms that remove inaudible detail -producing an MP3 file that can be one-twelfth of the size of the original. MP3s can be played using software such as Winamp or Windows Media Player – or decoded and recorded into a CD format, or sent over the internet as MP3 music downloads.
Peer-to-peer music downloads
In the past, companies offered music downloads from other people who were registered on their site, via a centralised list of songs on their database, which people could then connect to another computer to download. The problem with this was that some of the songs were not obtained through legitimate copyright channels. There are now other ways for people to share playlists, either through a subscription service, or using online communities provided by online music stores.
Commercial downloads
Some new companies offer individual songs or albums of MP3 downloads to purchase without committing to a subscription service. This type of music download site offer the benefit of news stories, samples and freebies, and operate more like a traditional music shop. Some may even offer reviews and compilations by music-industry professionals, which combines the technology of MP3 downloads with the appeal of music press insider knowledge. These companies are able to offer great deals to the consumer – since they are often the record industry’s main way of offering the MP3 downloads to consumers. The most enthusiastic music fans will look for sites that offer extensive lists of independent and mainstream labels.
The best music download sites should offer you the chance to browse by artists, genre or label – and will offer the opportunity to comment and review music purchased.

The Expansion of Music Online

July 31st, 2009 at 06:43am Under music copyright

Mp3 download process started long back in this fast riding tech age. The procedure stopped for a certain time when Napster was sued and had to pay a lot of money. Since then people got afraid for this event. Imprisonment seemed the obvious result of any mp3 download at that time. Downloading songs from any site without proper copyright was a crime.

The free music downloading process sprung up again with the development of technology through websites that allow free music downloads. The fear that was cropped inside the people?s mind after the Napster event started to subside. The revolution of technology adjusted with the changing time.

Just few years? back the whole process was quite complicated. It is said that music download can be considered as ?a gift from the gods? or even ?a cash cow?. Actually the producers of the music companies and the artists are called the cash cow.

Depending on who you ask, mp3s online can range from ?a gift from the gods? to ?a cash cow.? You might be able to guess who says cash cow ? the music producers and artists. Before, in the stone ages of the 80s and 90s, they had to sell a whole CD worth of music to a person, usually at the cost of $14 dollars on up. It took a lot of time for the allowance money to add up, making some CD sales slow or slower than expected.

Because of the increasing demand of song, therefore many song companies have decided to work with other Internet companies, which offer song downloads to get their songs distributed. Who needs a CD when you can get your song downloaded straight to your iPod, cell phone or computers through the Internet? Due to this reason free song downloads appeared again and was made legal. But the downloading website must be a certified website to offer free song downloads.

The songs companies also studied the pulse of this new audience. After this, they came to a conclusion that this generation is not that much interested in buying C.Ds. Their demand is something else. To cope up with this new, emerging demand, they started giving them the option of downloading songs from Internet and that too without charging any price.

The sites that offer free music downloads generate revenue from advertisements, music producers and agencies to cover the copyright fees associated with the featured songs. Now getting free music download is not such a difficult task anymore.

All you have to do is to find a music site that offers free music and download exactly what you want. Keep in mind some sites are free while others have a fee. And make sure the site you go to is legal. Do not copy restricted songs that are not properly paid for.

Once you find a site, you will need to register. Once you are registered, all you have to do is find the songs you are looking for, click away, and presto! They will be downloaded in the format of your choosing. They can be for your iPod, cell phone, MP3 player or whatever device you possess that can play free mp3s online.

Do not Break the Regulation by Way of Free CD Music Download

July 30th, 2009 at 06:41pm Under music copyright

Getting free cd music download was never so easy. All you need to do is use your mouse to click away a few times and lo behold! You are on your way!

Nowadays it is possible to download entire CD collections from the Internet. Even people with no technical skills can download music. You need an Internet connection and some knowledge how to browse. You can download any genre you like ? rock, hip hop, heavy metal, jazz, sufi, etc.

Most of these free CD music downloads are in MP3 format. The MP3 format has caused a splash and has changed the world forever. I must admit that there is a discussion between purists, lawyers and the supporters of free music but this does not change the fact that the world is not the same. There is a considerable demand of MP3 music downloads, especially during the holidays.

Searching on the internet for a song of your choice is also very easy. All you need to do to begin is type the name of the song in any popular search engine. From there you can get the links to the download.

Once you have identified the ?Download? button, simply click on it to start the download process. The files you download would usually be in the mp3 or rar format. Mp3 formats are the more popular of the two and are widely used. Mp3 allows users to compress the music files without greatly affecting the quality of music. But there are illegal links also. Be sure of not downloading from such links as they could land you in trouble. Download only legal collections.

Most of the sites, which provide free CD music downloads are fine but there are site with fake links or sites, that hijack you to another site. These two cheap tricks are among the most unpleasant things you can experience when downloading free CD music.

Other sites may charge a small fee for downloading. We can listen online as well as download the songs, though the former will be possible only in case you have a high speed broadband connection. We can listen to those downloaded songs on our computers and iPods. We can also copy the downloaded songs to a cd or DVDs as required.

We can also share the download with our friends, colleagues etc, though you need to avoid any chance of copyright infringement. Any public display or use for commercial gain generally qualifies for a copyright infringement.

There is no embargo, however, on keeping collections of our favorite songs, and sharing that with your friends. In some websites you will be asked to register and create an account to access the free cd music download offered by the site an incentive.

How to Protect yourself From the Potential of a $220,000 Judgment: Safemedia’s P2pd Tech Solutions are the Answer

July 28th, 2009 at 06:40am Under copyright protection

“The recent Minnesota copyright infringement precedent-setting case gives the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) the right ammunition to stop people from downloading and distributing unauthorized copyrighted digital files over contaminated Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks,” said CEO & Chairman Safwat Fahmy SafeMedia Corp., Boca Raton, FL.

“SafeMedia products are the only technology that was designed and created to block all contaminated encrypted and non-encrypted P2P networks and to protect internet users from such costly judgment. SafeMedia products installed on a university/schools, government and ISP networks or at internet users home would make it virtually impossible for anyone to commit illegal file sharing,” said Fahmy.

RIAA won its first trial last week when a jury ordered Jammie Thomas of Duluth, Minnesota to pay $220,000 to a half dozen separate record companies — Sony BMG, Arista Records, Interscope Records, UMG Recordings, Capitol Records, and Warner Bros. Records. The settlement involves 24 copyrighted songs illegally downloaded and shared with others over a Kazaa file-sharing network on her computer. Thomas’ lawyer argued that someone else could have downloaded the songs either in-person or remotely, but the Minnesota jury ruled in favor of the recording industry.

In a previous case in Arizona Judge Neil V. Wake provided the legal foundation for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recent victory. The case Atlantic v. Howell, where Judge Wake, in a summary judgment, shot down the Howell’s arguments and handed the RIAA $40,500 in statutory damages, $350 in court costs, and a permanent injunction against future copyright infringement by the Howells.

“This landmark decision was based on ‘The Made Available Theory’ that anyone who has P2P programs on their computer, which connect to a contaminated P2P network (even without downloading files) is committing copyright infringement since the only reason to have the programs is to make copyrighted files available to all other users,” said Fahmy. (Contaminated P2P networks are known to contain illegal copyrighted files, classified business information, national security data and personal identification documents).

According to Tom Sydnor, senior fellow and director of the Center for the Study of Digital Property at The Progress & Freedom Foundation, the Jammie Thomas case is a double-edge sword for Internet pirates. “First, by rejecting the defendant’s “a-neighbor-could-have-done-it defense,” the jury indicated that the holder of an internet-access account is responsible for illegal uses of their account. This helps dispel the myth that you can download with impunity and then blame on your roommate when get caught.

“Second, by awarding damages of $9250 per song—well above the $750-per-song minimum—the jury spoke to both the illegality and immorality of unauthorized downloading. Some say that this verdict will not deter file-sharing because the number of people using file-sharing programs has increased since the lawsuits began. They miss the point. The defendant here was sued because she was allegedly uploading over 1700 songs. Studies show that the percentage of users uploading files on these networks has plunged since the lawsuits began. As users learn to stop uploading infringing files, the problem of infringing downloaders will resolve itself,” explained Sydnor, who also authored a study for the US Patent Office on dangers of file sharing, and recently testified in Washington DC, along with SafeMedia Corporation.

In another RIAA lawsuit, Elektra v. Santangelo, AOL has been enjoined as a third party defendant and sued for $4 million. The lawsuit against AOL is based on information and belief that, AOL failed to use its controls to prevent illegal downloading (from Contaminated P2P networks) of copyrighted music, even though it had the information, superior knowledge, ability, skill, techniques, tools, power and authority to prevent such downloading.

“The verdict should also send a message to distributors of file-sharing programs,” said Sydnor. “Yet again, a consumer made an utterly foreseeable use of a file-sharing program and suffered dire consequences. Distributors that care about their users will get the hint and start using the best-available technology to prevent infringing uses of their programs and networks.”

SafeMedia’s P2P Disaggregator (P2PD) technology is embedded in DSL and Cable modems in the home or work environment or as a standalone subnet appliance for universities, government agencies and corporate networks. Our strategy of subnet implementation eliminates any network latency; controls darknets file sharing between subnets and reduces exposure to backbone failure.

“These cases are likely to send a strong message on piracy throughout cyberspace,” said Fahmy. “We believe universities and campuses across the country are trying to end piracy on campus. A university, based on the AOL lawsuit may be found liable for allowing the infringing conduct of staff and/or students where the university has provided access to the equipment used to carry out the infringing conduct and not taken reasonable steps to ensure that their network infrastructure is not used to infringe copyrighted material.”

SafeMedia’s products were created specifically to give universities, corporations, government agencies and ISP’s a complete long term cost effective solution for protecting their users and winning the war on Internet piracy associated with contaminated P2P networks.

Music To The Ears

July 28th, 2009 at 12:42am Under music copyright

A whole new world of entertainment has opened up over recent years and the younger generation have embraced it with open arms.
From music downloads to video and picture editing and sharing, a new concept of circular entertainment has emerged. Personal videos are taken on phones and passed around with people adding their home made music and music downloads to it as well as pictures. Eventually, the finished product will come full circle within a group of friends.
This has caused more and more demand for original entertainment and music, other than just what is put out there by the powers that be from the music industry.
And original music is very much at the fingertips of anyone that wants it nowadays. Internet sites have been set up to enable potential musicians to get there music into the public domain with relative ease.
Find a good site, upload your own music, add mailing lists and message boards and also provide a medium for selling your CD’s. Success can also be monitored by keeping a track of how many people are visiting your site.
Choose the right site and it will have a publishing company attached with a music editor who will listen to all uploaded music and pick out the best for featuring.
You can help your chances by regularly emailing the editor asking to be featured and also by constantly providing new music. Some of these publishing companies will do their best to get your music used in soundtracks and commercials. Record deals are also a possibility although their success in this area has been limited.
Copyright is not really an issue. While you’re waiting to be discovered, the more people that hear your music, the better chance you have. If you are signed by a record label they will then look after your copyright issues but until then safeguard yourself by encoding your contact details into your Mp3 music so it can be traced back to you.
Long gone are the days of sending demo tapes into record producers in the vain hope that they would listen to them. The onus is now very much on the maker of the music to get him/herself heard. Control over your own musical destiny is a good thing. Even negative feedback will tell you where you are going wrong so the appropriate adjustments can be made.
So, how do music producers feel about this turn away from tangible music to cyber music sales? Unable to fight it, they have cashed in on it themselves. Music download sales totalled $300 million last year. That’s three times the success of 2003.
The difficulty in the beginning was the pirate downloads that people were accessing for free – effectively stealing the music. Download prices were set at 65c per song from the US but reports state this price was set artificially low to stimulate demand.
It has had the effect of encouraging ever more people to carry out music downloads from reputable sites, and to pay for this privilege, which is a good thing.
However, now demand has reached such a level, music executives are now making noises about pushing the price up. This, they say, is due to demand. However, the general consensus is that it will push people back into piracy.
The top record labels have declined to comment on the price increase debate.

Recongize Extra About Downloading Your Favorite Music

July 27th, 2009 at 06:41pm Under music copyright

Nowadays downloading music online is not a Herculean task because you can easily find many websites offering music completely free of cost. Moreover, there are also quite a few networks that even provide you with suitable software required for downloading. These websites are able to grab attention of most music lovers who are constantly on the lookout to enjoy their favourite music without having to pay anything extra for it.

Some websites charges a fee for downloading while others are completely free. It is a general fact that everybody gets attracted to the free service. The chances of getting infected by computer spyware and worms are more in these sites.

While downloading music online it is important to keep certain things in mind. By following these tips downloading music becomes easier and saves your computer from being affected by virus.

The first tip that you should follow while downloading music is to search for some good music websites with the help of some popular search engine. From the list you can sort out those sites from where you can download your preferred music.

Whenever you come across a website offering completely free music downloading, the quality of downloading suffers. Hence, it is better to select a site that makes you pay some amount for downloads. There are times when adware gets attached to your shared files of your computer system unintentionally. This in turn hampers the speed of your computer.

Online music has different file formats like wma, wav, mp3 etc. Before downloading music it is important to find out the required type of file format that you need and added to this ensure that the computer supports that file formats. In this connection we can say that formats are developed so that the quality of the songs can also be improved.

Thus, there are many drawbacks of depending on illegal and free websites for downloading music online. In cases of downloads on payment, it is a better option to go for membership than pay for every music that you download.

One should read the terms and conditions of the website before downloading. Music which can be accessed with the help of windows media player is legal ones which have got the copyright from the concerned artists to download their songs. Thus it is always good to depend on commercial music service rather than file sharing networks there by helping the artists to get compensation for their works in the form of purchase price.

Keeping this point in mind it is better to go for those sites that charge you for downloading music. This will keep on safer side because paid music sites are legal and have cleared all the copyright issues. To a certain extent it can be compared to buying pirated music from illegal stores.

Illegal Music Downloads And The Law

July 23rd, 2009 at 06:41am Under music copyright

Ever since broadband was set up and made readily available to the general public, illegal music downloads have gone through the roof. Today, approximately 95% of all downloads are illegal and some 6.5m broadband users illegally download music on a daily basis.
Earlier this year, the music industry decided that enough was enough and that this multi million pound purge needed to stop. Discussions with John Hutton (The Business Secretary), Andy Burnham (The Culture Secretary) and major internet service providers (ISPs) resulted in tough new proposals governing the illegal download scene.
At this point, it is perhaps worth outlining the law when it comes to downloading music. The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA) is the current UK copyright law and gives the creators of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works the right to control the ways in which their material may be used. These rights cover broadcast and public performance, copying, adapting, issuing, renting and lending copies to the public. By downloading music files illegally, you are in breech of the copying part of this law.
ISPs have been pressurised into clamping down on persistent illegal downloaders and in June of this year, Virgin Broadband (one of the largest ISPs in the UK) agreed to take steps towards culling downloads. Virgin expect to send out more than 12,000 letters over the course of the summer to internet users warning them to stop their illegal downloads or face restrictions on their service.
So what does this mean for internet downloaders? Well, Virgin are keen not to punish their users, they would rather ‘educate’ them on the wrongs of downloading illegally. Sounds like a cop out and a good way round enforcing the law, but they might not have much choice on this in a year’s time.
Huttin and Burnham, along with bosses from the music industry want tighter rules surrounding illegal downloads. One of the proposals includes placing a 30 GBP annual charge on people who want to download files. This would give users unlimited access to download files from anywhere on the net, without the worry of facing up to law. 30 GBP may not sound a lot, but as Peter Jenner stated; “If you get enough people paying a small amount of money you can turn around the wheels of the music industry.” The funds from these fees are worth almost 1.2bn GBP and would be channelled back to the industry and distributed proportionally back to the relative rights holders.
Obviously looking for the toughest penalties for repeat offenders, industry bosses are calling for a ‘three strikes and you’re out’ policy, similar to the scheme currently employed in France. Persistent offenders would be warned and banned if they didn’t stop. Other proposals include preventative filters which stop the possibility of any illegal download activity or, illegal downloaders’ details being given directly to the music industry for punishment.
Sites like Napster brought illegal downloads to the masses and were relatively untouched by officials for many years until they realised just how much impact illegal downloads were having on the music industry. In 2001, the company were forced to shut down after being found guilty of copyright infringement laws.
Today, Napster is a legitimate trading company and sells downloads instead of offering them for free. iTunes are the biggest players in this market and dominate the scene with a 70% share of legal music downloads. It took less than five years to reach 1bn downloads, and keen to show that legal downloads are the way forward, the company rewarded the downloader, Alex Ostrovsky, with a brand new iMac, ten iPods and a 10,000 USD (5,700 GBP) iTunes voucher. Not a bad return on his 99p investment.
In 2006, the download market really came up trumps when Gnarles Berkley had a hit with Crazy. The song hadn’t even been released on CD when it hit the top spot in the UK charts after Zane Lowe championed the song on his New Music Show.
So will pressure from the industry actually have any effect on downloads? ISPs have already cleared themselves of any wrong doing as they are merely ‘conduits’ of information – they don’t personally hold the files.
Illegal downloads will inevitably continue as new methods of file sharing are discovered and employed. At the end of the day, rules are there to be broken and problems are there to be solved. As long as CDs cost as much as they do, downloaders will see no reason to stop what they are doing. If a CD costs less than 1GBP to produce, the question remains: Why are we charged the earth to purchase them?

Lawful on the House Free Music Downloads on the Web

July 18th, 2009 at 06:42pm Under music copyright

Music downloads through internet is a very common thing these days. Due to free downloads available music lovers have a nice time downloading their favorite music and enjoy listening to them. Many websites offering music downloads are available. But you should take care while making music downloads from these sites. These web sites use several methods to avail free music. They provide a wide range of options like rap, classic, jazz, country etc for downloads. In fact many of these sites do not have legal authority to offer free downloads. The works of good and professional singers and musicians are protected under the copyright laws.

The works which have a copyright should not be sold or copied without the consent of the person or authorized company. It is a reasonable act to protect the rights of artists. One should know that these professional and talented artists have worked hard, to bring delightful and marvelous tones and music into light.

They should be rewarded for their work which is generally done in the form of copyright or loyalty fee. Even some web sites offer these downloads, only if we pay the required amount. In case of free download sites though they offer music free, they get payments from some advertisements of commercial interest and from affiliate programs. But in this case the artists who have created the work are the losers. They are not paid for what they have done.

It is also affecting the recording companies, who promote the works of these artists. This is why the artists and recording companies take the aid of law to curb piracy. The websites are forced to pay a fee for offering free downloads. They generate money from ads and other affiliate links and programs. Almost all websites have the same features with regard to offering free downloads. It is better you go through them once to check the one which you really need.

Most of the free music downloading programs have similar features; the best way to decide which suits your requirement best is to take some time to explore their websites.

Piracies also badly affect recording companies that pay huge sums of money to the artists for getting copyright. With internet becoming so vast and difficult to monitor many companies have suffered huge losses due to online piracy. There are many peer to peer sites that allow members to freely copy and distribute music. Authorities are increasingly finding means to curb illegal activity through them. Sites offering free music download also pay royalties. They make use of alternate revenues to make these payments, usually by selling advertising space on their webpage. Some sites that sell free music are also funded by music enthusiasts.

Some websites which provides free downloads will take advantage of the users. Along with the downloaded music they will send spyware and adware. Spyware are dangerous programs which has the ability to find out the personal details of the users through the computer system. Reports regarding the interests of the users and the browsing habits of the users are sent by these applications to the marketing companies. Thus while choosing a website for free music downloads one should select one which offers legal free music downloads.

What you Really Need to Know About Picking the Best Mp3 Music Download Site

July 17th, 2009 at 12:47am Under music copyright

Now that you’ve purchased that hot new mp3 player, have you thought about what type of mp3 music download site you will use to get your music from? Your options boil down to basically two (2) choices. Legal music download sites or mp3 file sharing programs that facilitate unlimited downloads of music files. But which one is the best option for you? To help you answer that question, this article will explore the pros and cons of getting your favorite music from legal mp3 music sites versus p2p file sharing programs.Music Downloads From Legal MP3 Music Download Sites
Legal mp3 music download sites are an excellent way for you to get the music you want. These online music stores offer CD quality music files that are free of any adware, spyware or viruses. The music has been legally licensed from the record labels that own the copyrights to the songs and albums, so you don’t have to worry about any copyright infringement issues when you download the music. Popular digital music services like Rhapsody and Yahoo! Music Unlimited provide members with monthly membership subscriptions that give you a choice between downloading music to your PC or to your mp3 player. Also, some legal mp3 music download sites such as iTunes Store and Wal-Mart Music Downloads now offer music tracks that are free of any digital rights restrictions.
But as cool as it is to get very high quality, spyware free, DRM free songs or albums that you can play on your PC or your mp3 player, legal music download sites do have a few drawbacks. The biggest drawback is DRM (digital rights management or digital rights restrictions). DRM can limit what you can do with your mp3 music downloads and basically makes you a renter of the music even though you’ve bought it. But as I mentioned previously, online music stores and major recording labels are banding together to bring you music that’s free of digital rights restrictions. Outside of DRM, the biggest drawback is the cost if you pay for your music on a per download basis. However, music download sites like Rhapsody and Yahoo! Music Unlimited offer discounts on purchased music tracks to their membership subscribers. Wal-Mart Music Downloads is also very competitive price wise when compared to iTunes.MP3 Music Downloads From P2P File Sharing Programs
Thanks to today’s technology, p2p file sharing programs all you to download, upload and share mp3 music files online. Also known as p2p (peer–to-peer), these freeware programs enable you to download music from the shared file folders of other users within the p2p network for free. Getting lighting fast, unlimited downloads of mp3 music can provide you with a naughty thrill (you can get all the music you want for free). But as thrilling as that might be, getting your favorite tunes this way can be a risky proposition.
As you read in the previous paragraph, many p2p file sharing programs are available as freeware downloads. As freeware or shareware, they often come bundled with hidden spyware or adware programs. Additional spyware risks come from the shared files of other users in the p2p network. But with the help of a good spyware remover tool, you can pretty much eliminate this spyware threat. The biggest risk in downloading mp3 music from file sharing programs comes from the exposure to getting sued for copyright infringement. The RIAA aggressively pursues lawsuits against people who use file sharing to download copyrighted music from RIAA members. The recent TorrentSpy ruling doesn’t make things any easier for you to stay under the RIAA’s radar. However, it is possible for you to anonymously download mp3 music from file sharing programs using IP cloaking software or anonymous surfing service.
By now it should be clear that both legal mp3 music download sites and p2p file sharing programs present online music lovers with opportunities and challenges. Which one is right for you? With legal music sites, you have to ask yourself if DRM and the costs are that big of a deal for you to get legitimate, near CD quality music. With p2p file sharing programs, you have to ask yourself if getting unlimited free music is worth the spyware and legal risks. Ultimately the choice of which mp3 music download site boils down to you and the option you feel most comfortable with.

Downloading Music From the Internet – What not to Do

July 10th, 2009 at 06:41am Under music copyright

You’ve just got a new Zune or other media player, and you’re dying to get that song that you used to have on a record. You search the internet and find it!

It’s free! All you have to do is give them your email address and it’s yours. So you start to download it and the next thing you know, you have pop ups every time you open your browser, your anti-virus is complaining about trojans and trackware and your personal information is being copied around the internet.

There were signs. A page full of banner ads (some of which you had to avert your eyes from), pop-ups, flashing icons – and you thought you could just download it and transfer it to your Zune.

This happens everyday – all they want is a free song – it won’t hurt to download one free song – and they immediately regret it.

This happens every day. The reason these illegal copies are free is that the people who steal them don;t have the highest moral character! They take advantage of people downloading music, and steal much more than music copyright.

Fortunately, people are realizing that illegal downloads from these sort of sites are something to stay away from from the beginning. They are starting to realize that they aren’t really saving much, and the damage to your computer, and possibly your life, could be significantly worse.

There are options, today, to download music that are proven to be cost effective – pay per download from Zune Marketplace or amazon.com or membership sites where you pay one fixed charge for unlimited, lifetime downloads. These are places where you can look for that tune, and download it knowing that you won’t be downloading viruses or spyware.

It is worth it, for your computer and your peace of mind, to always download songs from a legal source that you can trust.
