9. Free Amazon Music Store
If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, you get access to millions of free music downloads that you can stream on any device and save them for offline listening. It goes without saying that you have to pay some money or choose the trial option to get these benefits.
There’s another way to grab free music from Amazon’s website that most of you must be unaware of. If you visit the company’s free music page in the Digital Music section, you’ll see the songs available for download. Please note that you’ll need a regular Amazon account to download these songs. You can also save the songs to shopping cart like a regular item and check out just once to get all the desired songs in one go.
10. Internet Archive (Audio Archive)
Internet Archive’s audio section not only offers you free music but also brings audiobooks, podcasts, radio programs and live music. The audio library contains over 2 million free digital audio files.
>Even though the songs aren’t well categorized, music lovers can sort the audio tracks available according to the year of publish, creator, language, and other filters such as most viewed, media type, topics & subjects. These categories can be a little confusing, yet upon searching hard enough one can still find some amazing songs.
I was able to find free music downloads from all kinds of artists and even the global, mainstream songs ones from Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, Coldplay, and Kendrick Lamar. The best part is you can download music safely and free in multiple file formats such as MP3 and OGG.
11. Last.Fm
When Last.fm was created in 2002, it initially functioned as an internet radio station. But in 2005, Audioscrobbler adopted the site.
It implemented a music recommendation system that collects data from different media players and music streaming websites to create customized individual profiles based on users’ musical taste and listening habits.
What’s unknown to many users is that Last.fm is one of the best music websites to download songs for free.
12. CCT Rax
Songs on CCTrax are available as Creative Common music so it’s free and safe to download music from this platform. The website has a nice layout where you can search for music according to license, genre, label, and artist.
However, the website offers online songs in a handful of categories such as Electronica, Dub, Techno, Ambient, etc. But you can listen to or download the tunes without creating an account and there is also an option of getting the entire album at once.
13. Youtube
YouTube is one of the largest sites on the internet offering unlimited video streaming and many of us also use it as a music streaming service because it has almost all kinds of music in it.
But the reason I have placed it at the end is that obtaining songs from Youtube is tricky. Not all songs on YouTube are downloadable but you can search for songs by setting a Creative Commons license filter and the genre you want.
Music tracks with CC license are free and safe to download but depending on the license terms, you might need to credit the artist before using in your video or any other platform.
14. Free Music on Google Play Store
Just like Amazon’s website, the Google Play Store can also become your free and legal music download source. Many artists make their music free on different platforms to get exposure, and Google’s no-cost offering is also a part of the same. Please note that you should be having a Google account with an active payment mode connected to it to grab the freebies. Please note that the extent of free content might vary according to your geographic location.
You just need to go to the Music section of the Play Store and type ‘free music’ in the search box; this will list the music in different sections: Songs, Artists, and Albums. You can click the ‘See More’ button to get more free music options.
