The Free Music Download Search

Try searching for free music or free music download on the search engines? You get plenty of places to go. The #1 spot is is probably some file sharing nonsense. Or a music streaming service or web radio. Billions of results. Plenty of silly advertisements too!

But no free music. Why? Because nothing in this world is free. Sure. you can steal it from one of the file sharing programs. Who wouldn't want to have all the songs of the Beatles for free. And plenty of people jump into the risky business of viruses and worms by using those things. And of course the legalities . It's against the law to swap protected files.

But thousands do it everyday. Probably new computer and web users that have heard you can get free music on the web free. It used to be easy and safe. And in some respects it still is but most are trying to earn the big money. And who wouldn't? I want to earn money on the web myself... I have been working at it for years.

So what is the idea behind this free music marketing plan that I am throwing together here? It's a quest of mine for folks to hear MY music that I have done with friends over the years to get heard using the power of the web.

I guess one would have a hard time finding any artists or bands that are simply uploading their tunes to the internet give away for a free download. Sure you can LISTEN to plenty of stuff by checking many websites were folks have their music to hear. MySpace is probably the most used of all of these places to get heard.

Many musicians have websites. They often use CDBaby or something similar to "sell" their tunes online. I have often questioned how much a typical original band can make from a self made CD. I'm sure the cost can be very high to do that. It can cost is high to make your own record. I KNOW that.

I used to believe that would be the wave of the future. Forget the music industry and simply make your own CD's and sell them yourself. It is very simple to do now. I own many records that I have purchased or been given by friends who have done just that. The records sound very good. But its not free music.

So the search for free music goes on. And with billions of searches done monthly I doubt your going to find the deal that I actually offer on my site. I give my songs away for free. Sure this thing I am going after is most likely a silly idea but what can I say? It's a music marketing idea. I need to get myself heard and get some kind of clout from all the years I have been doing music. And I'm not alone! You wanna be heard too right?

So you have songs on myspace and acidplanet and all of these other music sites that you want to get heard? Perhaps you should try to give it away for free too. Join me in this strange free music dream idea.

Get together some old lo-fi or hi-fi recordings. Throw together a site. Talk about the songs. And give them away for free....Free Music Downloads. It's not a another pirate activity. Your offering what people are searching for - Free Music
