Buying music from iTunes, Amazon, or other digital stores can be really expensive. Luckily, some websites provide music downloads for free. In this post, I will show you 10 online music downloaders for free.
Streaming music from services like Spotify is good, but you don’t own the music. By purchasing the premium service, you save the music offline, but DRM is protected and you cannot transfer the music to another device. Actually, one of the music downloaders that I am about to show you even offers you higher quality music than Spotify does.
FreeMP3Cloud
FreeMp3Cloud provides an unlimited number of songs for free downloading. When you land on this website, you can simply enter a song name or artist name and press the search button to find the tracks that you are looking for. There is a download button for each track and you can simply click it to download whichever you prefer. No registration is required no matter how many songs you download.
I have searched several tracks and found the matched songs successfully. All tracks will be downloaded in MP3 format. I have tested the quality and it is 128kbps. It does not provide a format conversion service, so all you get is MP3 music.
Download New Albums [320 KBPS]
Newalbumreleases allows you to download whole albums in 320 kbps MP3. it covers all types of music including electronic, folk, jazz, blues, metal, pop, rock, etc. You can also download some music videos for free.
You will find some recommended albums on its home page. Additionally, you can also try a quick search to find the album that you like. It offers one link to download all tracks in the album. however, you cannot only download individual tracks from the album.
SoundCloud
SoundCloud is a large platform for streaming music just like Spotify. It allows artists to upload their music and get discovered. Unlike Spotify, SoundCloud gives artists the option to set some tracks for free downloads. You can download these SoundCloud tracks in MP3, AAC, AIFF, ALAC, AMR, FLAC, MP2, WAV, or WMA formats.
Before you can download any track from SoundCloud, you must log in with a SoundCloud account. It is free to register an account by the way. To check whether a song is available for free downloading, you can click the More options button. If there is a Download button, you can click it to save the song to your computer. Otherwise, it is not available for free download.
If you know how to use the browser Developer Tools or SoundCloud downloader, you can download any SoundCloud music even if the tracks are not available for free downloading. By the way, the SoundCloud mobile app (for iOS and Android) does not support downloads.
Bandcamp
Like SoundCloud, Bandcamp allows artists to upload their own music and set the price for digital music. Some tracks are set to be $0. You can search for tags like “free” or “free download” to find this free music to download.
You can name the price for these free tracks, so you can just pay $0 to own them. Needless to say that you will need to register a free account before buying. Bandcamp supports many output formats including MP3, AAC, Ogg, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, and AIFF.
Unlike Spotify, Bandcamp music files are not encrypted. You can still use the Developer Tools in your web browser to download any track that you are listening to. If you don’t know how, you can use an online Bandcamp downloader.
