I don't think of myself as cutting edge as far as technology goes. I think it was at least two years into the music downloading craze, and Napster had already been forced to charge for music downloads, before I got my first iPod. But I have to say, it has changed my life. I took a couple of weeks to download all of my CDs to my computer and transferred the songs to my iPod, and since then I've gotten into the habit of downloading through iTunes, Napster, and other services that I've found online. These days, I have over 8,000 songs on my iPod, and over 2,000 "five stars." All of the Roxiticus Desperate Housewives and Husbands covet my iPod and I'm frequently offered five thousand bucks for it as a starting bid, then whatever party we're hosting turns into a crazy bidding war for the Roxiticus Desperate Music Collection.
Today, I'm looking back to the days when high school and college kids downloaded thousands (millions?) of songs for free. Unfortunately, what they were doing was not really legal, but today it turns out that you can Get Free Music From MPFree.com...and the downloads are completely legal. There's no cost whatsoever and no credit card is required. The way it works is that members complete any of the hundreds of offers and get free music for each one. The types of offers include entering a sweepstakes, requesting product information, completing surveys, trying new products and lots more. Once you complete an offer, you can choose from more than 750,000 free songs, including the latest hits from today's hottest artists. Unlike some of the free music sites where you can't find the "real" songs or artists you're looking for, on MPFree all songs are by the original artists on their original labels. Unlike the good old days of illegal Napster, MPFree pays royalties to the artists for every song, so the free music downloading service is 100% legal. Because MPFree is advertiser-supported, members never pay for their music downloads.
I signed up to Get Free Music From MPFree.com, but I have to confess that I lost patience with the surveys after just a few questions, so I'll leave it to the younger crowd with more time on their hands (and a lower rate per hour for their time) to get the free tunes.
Give MPFree.com a try...there's a world of free music to discover.
