Looking for free music to download for iPod? Well, you definitely are not alone. In a single day, there can easily be thousands of people like you searching online for places where they can download free music for their iPods.
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
There are both specialist sites that deal with specific genre as well as general sites that offer multiple genres like Jazz, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, Rock and Classical. If I were you, I will choose a general site with a wide range of genres.
3. Safe To Use
This requires due diligence on your part. Make sure that the site is a secured one. We have heard enough stories about malware infiltration and virus attacks when downloading files online. Stick with the established websites like iCompositions, EMOL and Macidol and it should be fine. They do provide some quality songs from underground band groups.
Always play safe by installing powerful anti-virus and anti-spyware software on your computer before you look for free music to download for iPod.
