Are you like one of the million users who are looking for free music to download for iPod? Like what I said, you are normal. Everyday, there are plenty of online searches for resources or places where one can download iPod music for free.
Since iTunes and othe mainstream sites are offering per song at $0.99, it is not cheap to young users especially for school-goers. The new generation gadgets are powerful and can hold at least 1000 songs. Multiply that by a dollar and you can easily arrive at the sum of money needed to fill them. Needless to say, finding free music to download for iPod becomes important. Here are some useful tips.
1. Format of File
Before you get all too excited, there is one thing you need to know. The iPod only reads and plays files in the following formats - AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV. So prior to downloading any piece of music, be sure to check if the site supports the formats.
Otherwise, you may have to convert them using audio file format conversion software. These can be quite costly. Even if you can get them from a freeware site, it will still take you lots of time just to convert the songs.
2. Music Genre
Another thing you might want to check is the kind of music they provide. Not every of such free sites offer a wide range of genres. Imagine if you can find one that comes with Alternative, Blues, Classical, Country, Dance, Children’s Music, Electronic, Folk, Hip-Hop/Rap, Jazz, Latin, Pop, R&B/Soul, Rock, Soundtrack and Vocals. Well, there are.
3. Safe To Use
Next, ensure that the site is safe to use. There have been so many complaints from users about downloading adware, spyware and getting their PCs exposed to viruses. Reputable sites like Macidol, iLounge and iCompositions do provide some quality GarageBand music as well as songs from lesser known groups.
No matter where you get your free music to download for iPod, always play it safe by ensuring that your computer has adequate anti-virus and anti-malware protection.
