The entire Internet is a hot bed of music Mp3, audio, video files where you can download songs online with a few clicks of the mouse. It should not come as a surprise to us that many music enthusiasts are quietly beefing up their private Mp3, audio, video music collection and it appears that there are some fanatics that have personal libraries bigger than the music stores! For a fee, one can easily become a member of a music download site to download songs online. We will explore a little bit deeper into this whole downloading affair.
As a music lover, you do have many options when it comes to picking the place to download songs online. Since there are so many choices, you can afford to be selective but I still advise you to learn the basics of how to make the right choice. Else, you can find yourself becoming undecided about which music download site to use.
Most of the paid membership sites also have clinched deals with the musicians and singers to get their music listed on their sites. In fact, it is quite common to see more than twoor three million songs and music files on each of these sites. When making your choice for a download site, go for the one with the most number of song downloads. You want to grab the best deal.
Another thing is to check the file format when you download songs online. Be sure that it can play on your media player or Mp3, Mp4 player such as iPod. If the format is not compatible, confirm if they do provide the music format conversion software free of charge. If they do, you are quite safe. Some sites do provide music files in various formats and it is essentially in playable format for most portable digital devices and PCs.
There are 2 ways to get what you want done. Both require a slight amount of configuration. But once done, you can download whatever you want.
1. Use Mozilla Fire fox instead of IE. The reason? Fire fox offers free addons that enable you to download music and other files, including embedded media like the videos on YouTube, etc.
2. This is in response to Akib's comment about connecting the Line-In to the Output. No need to do that. Try this:
a) Open your PC's volume control (double click on the speaker on the lower right hand corner of your screen, below the time).
b) Click on Options --> Properties
c) Select "Recording"
d) Now tick the "Stereo Mix" or "Wave Out Mix".
Now you can use the standard Sound Recorder that comes with Windows to record ANY sound that's coming from your PC. Just play whatever you want from any site, while you record it in the Sound Recorder.
You can use Google to search index pages for .mp3 files. If you have FireFox, this is made very easy:
Create a new bookmark. For the keyword, use something like 'music'. For location, use:
http://www.google.com/search?q=-inur...gog)+%22%s%%22
(to see the full URL, just click the link)
Once you create the bookmark, you can type 'music <artist name>' (i.e. 'music beatles') in the URL bar and search index pages for .mp3 files. Make sure that the link is an actual .mp3 file, right click and save the link. Be sure to check and make sure it's saving as a .mp3 file; I've accidentally saved web pages before.
How Online Streaming of Songs Work?
The songs that are streamed are stored on the server of the websites.Whenever you play a song usually a Flash/javascript player opens so that you cannot get the direct links of the song on the server.But you may have noticed that if you play the complete songs once it will can be played again (if you haven’t closed the music player) even if you disconnect your Internet connection.This is because the song is already stored in the cache of the web Browser.
