The new generation music is much influenced by the MP3 revolution that has revolutionized the whole music industry. It has provided the consumer with easy access to variety of music barring all factors such as place and time. Now portable mp3 players have even made it possible for the consumer to carry the kind of music anywhere and listen anytime as per his desire.

In the earlier times it happened that consumer was restricted to music records and cassettes to listen music. Sometimes if any one song used to be a melodious one that he wanted to listen to he had no option rather than to buy the whole album. This was just a waste of money but now consumer is open to much wider option with different free mp3 download song available on the internet. It generally comes to our mind as why mp3 and how can we get these free song downloads? Mp3 is a digitally encoded audio that is compressed so that the entire data is made smaller without any change in the quality of sound and music. Most of the times the sound quality of an mp3 and that of an original cd is distinguished much.

Thus the popularity of mp3 music has inevitably shown several music websites providing the consumer lots of downloadable material. MP3 music has become so popular that many new music recording artists are making their collection available in the form of mp3 music through different websites thereby giving the consumer a chance to listen the kind of music they would otherwise have been able to. Many sites offer quality mp3 song downloads by charging one time minimal amount.

In spite of all the benefits free mp3 player song downloads have also become a threat for the music industry because many programs allows mp3 file transfer from one computer to another by cutting down the royalty for the artist and album as a overall cost reduction for the music album. This aroused a fear among the music recording artists of losing lots of money from consumer who can easily download the music instead of buying it due to which they tried to make mp3 music illegal.

The internet has revolutionized the world in more ways than one. Beginning as a virtual storehouse of all information, it progressed to provide other services like downloading free songs, music videos and movies.

Aside from watching movies in the theatre, you have the option of renting a video and watching it in the privacy of your home. Though movie rentals are still a popular option, the latest buzz is downloading movies from the internet.

The trend of downloading movies from the internet has become so popular that a website has claimed that at least three billion movies, video songs and clips were downloaded in just one month. The claim may or may not be an exaggeration, but it definitely points to the increasing popularity of downloading movies.

One way to download a movie is the file swapping method. This works in the same way as sharing music files. The process is, for the most part, illegal. Those involved gain access to sneak previews of the movies, copy the film and  put them on websites. In fact, these movies reach people faster than they do in theaters.

Film companies stand to lose, and it is no surprise that they have tried to take legal recourse to find a solution.

In a bid to stop this menace, movie companies are trying to save the day by offering movies for free downloading. For this, customers need to pay a fee and watch the movie within twenty-four hours or the files become inaccessible.

eMusic is a major player in the iPod music downloads business. They are one of the pioneers and rank second only to iTunes. They have a diverse catalogue of primarily independent music labels. All their music is in MP3 format and works on any platform. They also have very extensive editorial content, archived shows and events.

eMusic’s Advantages

One of their greatest advantages is all their music downloads are in MP3 format and DRM free! That means, unlike Apple.com iTunes, Yahoo Music and so many others, you not only own your music, but it continues to play when you discontinue your membership with eMusic. And you can play your tunes on any portable PDA or your computer.

The sad fact about copy protecting music with DRM is the version varies from one company to the next. For instance, you can only play your DRM protected iTunes on your iPod, iPhone or your desktop with the iTunes player installed.

According to The New York Times:

“A major difference between eMusic’s service and other online music stores is that the tracks are delivered in the unprotected MP3 format, which means… that the songs will play on all portable music players, including the Apple iPod®”
Another advantage of eMusic is the music is totally legal to download, unlike the prevalent P2P file sharing sites. Don’t get me wrong, many of the top unlimited music download sites are definitely legal, to a certain respect.

One of the things I really like about eMusic is they let you download 25 songs free before you have to pay the minimum $9.99 per month for 30 songs. So the 25 free ones is almost like a month’s worth of downloads for nothing.Not to mention the 33 cents per song blows away MSN and iTunes 99 cents per song. And it’s even less with the other levels with 50 and 75 songs per month at $14.99 and $19.99 respectively!

One slight disadvantage with eMusic is although they offer millions of music tracks; they’re primarily “indie” or independent artists. But, all their music is legitimately licensed from independent record labels so you don’t have to be concerned about downloading illegal files.

They do have some major labels like Johnny Cash, The White Stripes, The Prodigy and Mobi. And they’re continually increasing them regularly as the DRM free movement is spreading. America is behind the Europeans in that regard.

eMusic’s Interface

So like I mentioned, eMusic only has MP3s, encoded at a variable bit rate (VBR). So you won’t have a problem transferring your tunes to your iPod, your CD burner or any portable player. All the tunes are accessed through your Web browser or with the free Download Manager.

One note of caution is if you download from your Web browser you’ll need to disable eMusic’s Download Manager from your account preferences. Then you’ll have to change the file extensions to .mp3 because the file will be downloaded with an unknown file extension. That’s easy to do, just right click the file and choose “Rename” and change the extension to mp3.

Summary

On the eMusic site, you can search for tunes by the artist’s name, album, track, label, or composer. Their 12 genres include Alternative, Punk, Country, Folk, Electronic and Jazz. As previously mentioned, the bulk of their tunes are from independent artists but you’ll find quite a few from the major record labels.

They have around 2.8 million high quality MP3 files from over 13,00 independent music labels. And you won’t find a lot of them on competing download sites or music stores.

eMusic’s online interface is ridiculously easy to use. It allows you to download entire albums at a time. There is a review section and a star rating for each file. Their FAQs are well written and they respond very quickly to emails for support.

They offer a 2 week trial allowing you to download 25 tunes for starters before you have to pay the tiny monthly fee. One tip though when you start your membership, is to be sure you download ALL your allotted songs for the month because you can’t carry them over to the next month!

I don’t like free music because my pockets are filled with wrappers, receipts and lint, although admittedly, seeing as how I know no other existence, its difficult to really be sure about that.  No, the reason I like free music is because I am inherently a fan of purity and origin and intention.  I understand the realistic makeup of the world we live within and that everyone needs to pay their electric bill; and that’s why I’m not here to criticize revenue-garnering music (although I think that everything has reasonable limits).  But, I would like to strongly emphasize my love and appreciation for free music.  It seems to me that the word “free” is a double-entendre.

And surprisingly enough, helping further this free spread of artistic expression is none other than the ipod.  I make the preceeding sentence appear in a sense of surprise because the music industry along with Apple have been quite concerned with the future of recorded music, due to free downloading, but that’s just one side of ipod’s story.  The nature of apple computers, conducive to artistic creation, has allowed all sorts of amalgams of new and old technology come together in new forms of music; and the ipod is helping to spread the works to anyone who would like to listen.

Several artists have begun to experiment with the new capabilities using their Macs, instruments and ipods.  To a good deal of them, it’s about the music, and they have thusly put their music online as free ipod downloads.  These are completely legal, as they have not only the consent, but also the encouragement of the creators.  This is a side of free downloading that should be giving all persons involved with music something to smile about.  To music aficionados, its really the way that things are supposed to be, for the musicians it gives them a forum from which to extend their craft and for the executives, it can mean that people are getting excited about music again.

Who would have thought that the esoteric nature of my passion for free music would be represented and carried by something like free downloading on your ipod (a previously dirty secret that had all sorts of difficult paradoxes).  No matter, I just want to let the music ring.

The DVD player is one of the latest in internet technology gizmos that has revolutionized the concept of home entertainment. Millions of people depend on their DVD players to watch movies, pause and rewind live television or to listen to music online. In fact, you can download free DVD software from the net to make your player the ultimate experience in listening to music, watching movies or playing games. Because the DVD player can stream music from the internet, it is a feasible option for listening to music at work or watching movies in the comfort of your home.

For free DVD movie downloads, you need certain system configurations. These include 256 MB of RAM, plenty of hard drive space and a good video card. This allows you to store the movie on your hard disk. If you have a CD writer, you make a copy.

Another software program for audio content is the Winamp — a standard Windows MP3 player that is a free download at www.winamp.com. The player has a great sound, and the volume, bass and treble can be adjusted to your liking.

You can also download QuickTime media player — a product of Apple Inc. This too is available for free download. Cross-functional, QuickTime provides unmatchable viewing and audio qualities for various multimedia products.

Free movie downloads require different software for making the experience of watching movies and recording TV shows a worthwhile experience.  You need ample space on your PC. While 256 MB RAM seems like a good option, nothing beats having 512 MB of RAM. The more memory space the better.
