Answer 1

Legally there is no free site on the internet.

All songs that have a legal copyright must be paid for in some way through a legal agreement between the music provider (ex. Napster) and the artist (ex. Jojo, she was first on your list). She or here agents have to sit down with Napster and say "OK, for every (x) number of songs or albums we sell through your service, we'll recieve (x) amount of money."

Sites like Limewire, Bearhsare and other P2P (person-to-person) music sites are illegal as much as they may seem the contrary. You are still not paying for your music by retriving various information from several different identical files stores on different computers instead of one main server like what Napster had back in the day; this is also the main reason why these sites can't be shut down: they're too hard to track. But trust me, if the RIAA had the ability to shut those sites down they'd do it and they also have the legal right to shut them down, it's just that the sites like Bearshare and Limewire are hard to track down from one individual source.

Answer 2

have you ever checked the artist's internet website? Many grant decrease bit-fee variations of their songs for loose. is this a music that receives air-play? perhaps you may record the music at the same time as it is performed through an internet radio station. classes like Audacity record streaming audio. If the music is on youtube you may both flow and use audacity to record the flow, or use a software like Youtube downloader to acquire the flv document and use quick media converter to make an MP3 replica of the music.

Try Multiply.com. I am pretty sure it is legal (not positive, but I haven't had any cops come to my house yet). It works almost like myspace, so you can post blogs and all of that stuff too, but I use it mostly to find music.
A quick note: out of respect for artists, if I find a cd that I really enjoy, I will usually take the time (and money) to go out and buy the cd. I use multiply to make sure that I actually like the group rather than spending $15 for one song. Remember that the groups that you like may not be able to put out any new music if you refuse to support them (not that the Black Eyed Peas are going bankrupt any time soon). Anyways, I think that is just a courteous (sp?) thing to do.

Answer 4

If you're morally disinclined to download music using limewire like everyone else, you should know that the record companies make the money off the albums, while the artists make most of their money at live appearances. The statistics also show that the artists have NOT been starving as a result of music downloads. If anything, it's beneficial to them.

Answer 5

LEGALLY you can't download music off the internet. You can download clips and thats about it. The only LEGAL way you can download music is through file sharing and that is sometimes debatable.

Illegally...you can use Kazaa or Win mx....I heard that those are ok....

Also, If you want to download music Illegally...you better have an AMAZING virus protection because I can guarantee that you computer will crash after downloading music from people you don't know.

Answer 6

Only trade friendly (pretty much jam bands and Pearl Jam) artists allow folks to LEGALLY tape and distribute their music.

There's a list of such artist on the tradersden.com, but I'm pretty sure that most of the one's on your list are NOT considered trade-friendly.

Answer 7

Legally, popular and free? Dubious. Artists have to pay their bills, just like you do.

Answer 8

no such thing... the money needs to get to the artist but with it being free, no money goes into their pockets

Answer 9

I dunno if it's ever legal and free. But...who cares. Try bearshare.
