Where do you guys download your music from?
I usually use torrents, but i can'ton my school's wireless network, so that isn't an option
ways to get individual songs, and whole albums would be great.
Thanks

"album - artist mediafire" or swap out mediafire for filestube or zip or rar or download or something. there is a ton of music available without torrents you just gotta search it right.

My favorite website for getting free music is goodmusicallday.com. I would suggest it to anyone who likes rap, indie, or electronic music. In addition to tons of other genres. thissongissick.com is pretty good also.

Hmm my school really cracks down on this stuff.


I need a fool proof way of downloading music without getting caught. Anyone have ideas?

I go to a very nerdy tech savvy college. People get their internet privilege taken away all the time for torrenting. I wish it was that easy.

And to the guy who said buy it... like I said... I'm in college. ie: broke

I support things I think really deserve the backing.

Make a soundcloud account and spend some time on there finding artists that you like and following them, that is where artist's upload their tracks as soon as they're released for the most part. I don't know what kind of music you're into but if you like electronic music and some rap then you could check out the people I'm following on my soundcloud (soundcloud.com/garrettdini). There's usually free downloads, but if not there's Chrome extensions you can get to make it so you can download anything that's uploaded to soundcloud. Hope this helps.
