Free MP3 Downloads: 7 Websites That Make It Really Easy

Oct. 25th, 2007 | by Aibek |

Too broke to afford iTunes Music Store? Or Don’t feel like paying for music at all? If that’s the case, here are some great websites and couple of tools that can help you download any MP3 song for FREE. If you’re going to download free music than these are the tools that can help you do it the “right way”.

 
FreeMusicZilla Simple windows program that auto-detects currently streaming tracks (from Imeem, Last.fm, Pandora, and many more.) and provides a one-click option to download and store them on your drive. Check out a HowTo Video here.
 
OrbitDownloader From the same company as FreeMusicZilla. Although, OrbitDownloader comes with a lot more features and lets you get music (and music videos) from literally any social music or video website. It can be a Yotube viddeo, Yahoo Music clip, or a Pandora track. Highlights: fully-integrable with all popular browsers, option to pause/resume downloads, and more.
 
Creation Beta A very cool MP3 search engine. Just search, choose and download. Also does a pretty good job at filtering-out irrelevant results. In most cases I was able to find what I was looking for. Other useful features include: Firefox search integration and search MP3s by lyrics.
 
G2P (Google To People) Another MP3 search engine, unlike Cr3ation B3ta, G2P searches for MP3s using Google. For example, searching G2P for Rihanna returns all Google-indexed pages listing Rihanna MP3s. In most cases you can download these files using ‘Save Link As’ option.
 
AirMP3 AirMP3 lets you search on multiple free MP3 sources simultaneously. Also lists lots of useful charts: MTV Europe (Top 20), UK Top 40, Top 40 France, and so on. Plus AirMp3’s “Top Searched” and “Top Downloaded” songs for the week. Quite handy if you need some guidance on what’s popular.
 
Kohit Kohit is a clear and comprehensive mp3 directory. Very moderate on ads and doesn’t require any kind of registration. As in the case of AirMP3, Kohit also provides lots of handy stats i.e ‘Top Downloads’, ‘Top Searches’ and Top 20’s by country (US, UK, Japan, Spain…).
 
MP3int Less-popular and smaller alternative to Kohit. But with over 140.000 MP3s in it’s index still deserves a mention.

That’s mainly it. If you know of any other similar or better apps, or just want to criticize something, go ahead and post it in the comments! Enjoy!

    Thanks for the links. One note… the Cr3ation B3ta link isn’t functional because there is an extra “h” in the http, hhttp://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/site/music-plus/

    I am not sure it’s true. First of all there are lots of false info on the website. 30 mil of registered members? NO WAY, that simply can’t be true for such unpopular website. Neither they were featured on CNN or even CNET networks. And it’s also NOT FREE.

    Instead, I recommend checking out Sidereel and QuickSilverScreen.
