Free Music To Download For iPod - 3 Popular Options

By Davion W

All iPod owners want free music to download for iPod. The question is, do they really exist? If not, what are the cheapest places to get music to download for your iPod?

All in all, there are 3 popular options when it comes to getting free music to download for iPod. I attempt to group them into the free option, mainstream option and membership option.

1. Free Sites

You will realize that these are free to download. At the sites, you can get any number of songs, music and music videos as you wish. Sounds good huh? But a majority of them are torrent networks. And this spells trouble as they are notorious for spreading viruses, malware and corrupted files! Well, another minority group of free sites are the self-run sites that offer home-brews by music wannabes.

2. Main Music Services

You do know services like EMusic, Rhapsody, Amazon and the like right? Hey, but aren't they paid services where you pay for each piece of music you download? The thing is that quite frequently, they offer trials where you can download free songs. But that is occasional and you simply cannot rely on them for your music needs.

3. Membership Services

These are membership sites that offer you unlimited access to their music database so that you can have all the free music to download for iPod, without the pain of paying per download. The memberships can be for monthly, a year or a lifetime. Frankly, you only need to pay a few dollars more to upgrade from a yearly to a lifetime membership. Needless to say, the lifetime option is the most popular.

Now that you are more knowledgeable than most people about where to download great music for your iPod, it is time to get your free music to download for iPod today!
