Downloading Free Music

I'm too cheap to use iTunes. I've used mp3skull previously but it doesn't have a lot of the music I'm looking for. Also I have tried the apps that convert YouTube videos to sound files but that stopped working for some reason.

So what do you guys use to get music?

"song name" free download. Don't pirate unpopular indie music though because they need the money.

Yeah I feel guilty downloading any music for free, even popular music. I want to show support to the artists but, again, I'm just not going to pay the prices on iTunes.

I always think that you should support the artists who made the music, but if you really need to,
http://www.youtube-mp3.org/
The best way and easiest way to do it.

Learning how to torrent is a skill everyone should have. Also, mixtapes off datpiff, free downloads on soundcloud, free 3 months of Apple Music, there's a lot of ways to get it done. But if the artist is someone whose just coming up, or someone who probably won't ever make it big and needs the money, just cough up the cash for their music, they put a lot of effort into making content that you enjoy.

To find any song I do this

>Open Google
>Search "Songname ZIP"
>literally always working DL within first 3 clicks
>download, import, success

Works for albums too just search "Albumname Artistname Zip"

Or pay $10/mo for unlimited everything, music offline on your phone, etc. Anyone who says they can't afford $10/mo is a liar.

Okay so the only way to get it is to download it for free? I think you're missing my point here. Sure if its only available to download free then okay do it. haha

Basically just trying to argue with you O Great One. Im bored at work and have another few hours to go. And Im not a fan of spotify or apple music. Honestly if Im streaming music I like the pure random factor that pandora provides.

I mean, have you used spotify? It's literally what you just described, you just can't put the songs on a cd or mp3 player, but who cares? Whats the point of possessing your music?

Thats the deal breaker for me. I only listen to music on an old iPod Nano because i dont like carrying around a heavy phone in my pocket(it just feels super off), and im afraid of breaking it, and i dont like running down the battery so quick.


I only listen to music on the go- like my car, bike, skis, gym etc... places i dont have internet either.



Yes, i am behind the fucking times.

$5 if you're a student! I guarantee everyone here spends $5 a month on stupid shit, why not spend it on unlimited music where ever you go?
