Puniz – There are tons of sites that offer you free music, the problem is that the number of songs available is quite small.

To start, simply search for a song and select the one you want from the displayed results. Read more: Puniz: Listen & Easily Download Audio Tracks.

    I can’t see how to download any audio files from Puniz. The only choices are FLV, MP4, and 3GP.

    Just tried Puniz, searched for ‘Luigi and the Wise Guys’.
    90% of the results were ‘Can’t help falling in love’
    Not worth it imo.

    Puniz seems to work well for all the songs I searched for, though they were by popular artists. And man, that Puniz girl is cute! Why must they throw a pretty girl on the screen like that?!

    How sure are we about the legality of Puniz? I’m awfully leery of a website that posts “No files are cached or stored on our servers. The services is based on third party sites” at the bottom of their homepage. Of course, I’ve not read through the terms and conditions.

      If you’re in the US downloading files from Puniz imo is illegal. Not 100% sure about that though.
