Here are
some great tips to get your
favorite online music downloads
for your iPod without a
hassle.
Three
Types of Online Music Download
Sites
Online
you'll find about three kinds of
online music download sites. Each
uses its own business model. One
type of iPod site may offer a
monthly subscription for a
certain quantity of songs each
month or they may charge per
music download. Another type may
charge a one-time (or lifetime)
membership fee and give you
unlimited access to iPod tunes to
download. The third type may give
you free music downloads and earn
their money from advertising
alone.
iPod Music
Pricing Estimates
The average
pricing for an iPod song download
is around one dollar or slightly
below. For an entire album, sites
usually charge between $10 and
$15 per album. With a monthly
music download subscription, you
can expect to pay between $15 and
$20 per month, depending on the
site and number of songs you
want. For a lifetime membership,
the average price is
$40.
Finding a
Dependable and Affordable iPod
Download Site
If you plan
to download many tunes on your
iPod, search online to find one
or a few sites that are
dependable. Shop at those names
you trust to save time and money.
Here are a few popular sites:
iTunes, MusicMatch, eMusic, and
Wal-mart. Some free online music
download sites include IMesh,
Limeware, and Kazaa.
A Warning
about Downloading Music
Online
Beware of
sites that seem suspicious or
offer downloadable songs that
have not been released yet. These
are pirated songs and are
illegal. If using a free iPod
music download site, be sure the
site is offering songs that are
not copyrighted. If the songs are
copyrighted, find out "how" or
"why" the songs are being offered
for free. Does the site have
special permission from the
copyright owner? Check with the
Better Business Bureau online to
be sure the site is
legitimate.
When
signing on for "lifetime
membership" be sure the site has
been around a while and offers
the type of downloads you are
seeking. Some companies are "fly
by night" companies and will not
be there next year, so your
membership fee could be
lost.
Test Music
Downloading Speeds
Before
signing on with any particular
online music download site, test
its song download speed. Purchase
one song and download it to see
how quickly you're able to
receive the song file. The
average downloading time is
between 128 kilobytes and 192
kilobytes. Finding a site with
fast music downloads will save
you time when searching for great
songs online.
Use the
tips above to get your favorite
online music downloads on your
iPod. You'll finally be able to
listen to all the latest online
music tunes while driving,
jogging, biking, or hiking!
Knowing
enough about downloading music to
your iPod to make solid, informed
choices cuts down on the fear
factor. If you apply what you've
just learned about online music
downloads, you should have
nothing to worry
about.
Now might
be a good time to write down the
main points covered above about
downloading Internet music to
your iPod. The act of putting it
down on paper will help you
remember what's important in this
report.
