MP3/Music Downloading Guide
1) The first way is to download music off a basic web server or
website. Not only is this highly illegal, but it puts your
computer at risk to any number of ActiveX exploits, porn
pop-ups, and forced installs. This of course is necessary to
insure that the webmaster of the illegal site gains a profit,
off the expense of his surfers.
2) The second highly popular way to download music is through a
peer-to-peer network such as Kazaa, IMesh, Limewire etc. Nothing
is ever free! Theses programs are all ad-supported and include
spy ware and frequent pop-ups that essentially infect your
computer. They hijack your start page, search page etc, and are
designed to be extremely difficult to remove.
3) Recently pay-per download sites have emerged such as Napster
and the famous Apple Itunes. These sites unfortunately charge
upwards of $1 a song which quickly adds up to a large price for
an album.
There are alternatives to the high profile sites listed above
that offer music at a much reduced price. A web review site
recently launched has ranked these programs on a scale of 1 to 5
and has review article for each site.
