Lots of sites on the web offer you the opportunity to download free songs, free music, free everything. However, most of these sites are illegal and will more than likely give you a virus or two. Bad news. So where can you get free music safely?

There are lots of sites that you can get freebies from when you register and use them. However, in most cases, you do need to add money to your account to get the offer. But is is very much worth every penny and you can get over 100% back. So which sites give you the best deals?

Downloading from mp3 sites can be a bit tricky, but some sites have got a good solution. MP3 Panda and LegalSounds offer ‘Download Managers‘. These can be downloaded from the sites homepages and are designed to make the job of downloading mp3s from their sites a piece of cake.

The download managers allow full access to all the sites content, so you use it like you would the website. The difference is that you can queue your downloads, so you can leave them running while you go and make a cup of tea and not have to wait for each album to download before you move onto the next. You can pause downloads, so if you loose internet, you can get your downloads on the move again once it’s back up.

Two of my favourite sites are MP3 Panda and LegalSounds. But which one is the best?

Firstly, LegalSounds have more tracks than MP3 Panda, but only just! They both have massive music archives, with MP3 Panda offering over 2,114,410 and LegalSounds offering over 2,134,020.

Second, are their freebies. MP3 Panda offer a free album on their site to all customers. LegalSounds offer new customers the US Top 40 to download for free after registering, so which freebie you want is up to you.

Third, there is the sites minimum top up amounts. LegalSounds ask for $25.00, MP3 Panda ask for $20.00. So there isn’t much in it. Maybe if you’re a bit broke, MP3 Panda is better.

What about song price? Well here is really the only major different in the statistics of each site. MP3 Panda offer songs for 5 cents each. LegalSounds offer songs for 9 cents each. Although that is still cheap, it’s almost double what MP3 Panda charge per mp3 track.

The next thing to consider is top up offers. With MP3 Panda, if you top up $49.94, they give you $10.00 and if you top up $79.95, they give you $25.00. With LegalSounds, if you top up $39.00, you get 50 free songs. If you top up $50.00, you get 80 free songs and if you top up $100.00, you get 200 free songs.

My verdict? I would use MP3 Panda. Simply because it’s cheaper and I like the site deisgn more! But to be honest, they are both great sites, offering a great service at a really good price.

It’s been a while since I wrote about the offers you can get from the mp3 download sites I review, so here’s a recap:

LegalSounds is one of the cheapest sites, with songs at just 9¢ each, their site is far from the best looking though! The colours are very grey and dull, but the site works well and is packed with charts, just added music, charts music, genres and loads more.

So if you’re a bit lost for ideas of what to download, LegalSounds might be the perfect site for you to checkout.

Like all the mp3 download sites I have reviewed, Legal Sounds has an extensive list of charts to browse and download. 

The charts include:
USA Top 100 Albums, USA Top 40 Singles, Euro Top 100 Albums, UK Top 50, German Top 50, MTV Top 20, R&B Top 100 Albums, Top 75 Country Albums, Top 25 Jazz Albums and loads more! The list goes on and on…

Head over to Legal Sounds to check out the site for yourself and download some fab music for $0.09 a track.

Legal Sounds are a very good site to download music from. But something that makes these guys a little different to other sites is their bonus program. The more you top up, the more free songs you get. However, they also offer free songs depending on your overall account total.

So, if you’ve been with them for 6 months and you’ve topped up a total of $300 over the time, Legal Sounds will give you 100 Free Songs. You will get more free songs when your running total gets higher and higher. When your total reaches $1000, they give you a massive 500 Free Songs!
