Anyone give me a safe site for downloading free mp3s

Just use streaming, Luddite!
I'm old school, so I DL music

Why not both?

a thread about illegal activities

lol

You could try grooveshark.

I don't think you -can- download MP3s... not off the site anyway. But, there are ways...

i heard napster is good

use spotify....

Here

Also just look for royalty free music and there you got

amazon has a lot of free albums and songs available actually. you can see them if you sort by price

Bandcamp is a great way to get some good MP3 files. They are rather limited in the artists that actually give songs away for free though.

not sure about genres (probably mostly electronic), haven't been there for a while.

Just google whatever you want ... Song Name .mp3

Scout the results and soon you'll come to know which sites are trustworthy and which are not. Posting a site here would mean copyright violation and most site forums don't allow for that.

archive.org has tons of free music.

However, I don't think you're going to find classic rock for free. By definition, classic rock was created before people started giving away music for free.

More than often I notice that free music just isn't very good. Groupees has some nice music bundles for very cheap and music in Bandcamp isn't very expensive either, in case you ever decide to buy music. Some bands have free music there also.

Personally I never understood streaming. Anyone can just run a program in the background and record the stream and make an mp3.

I use a program called Songr.

Songr is a cloud music player that streams and downloads music from multiple web services, including Grooveshark, Prostopleer, MusicSearch, YouTube and many others (including the music already on your computer) .

There is also a portable version.

I found this program by accident one day about a year ago. It looks like it hasn't been updated since 2013 but it still works well. Since it seems to get its sources from valid companies I don't think that it is any more illegal than browser extensions that allow you to do the same or they would have been sued and the software removed by now. If found to be otherwise I apologize in advance.

Most mp3s are quite inexpensive, try amazon.

Just search a song from youtube, copy URL in youtube-mp3.org and enjoy.

airmp3.me

Grooveshark.com :)
COF COFgoogle for the "grooveshark downloader" extensionCOF

For streaming, I usually use last.fm or even YouTube with AdBlock active
For free mp3s there are plenty of sites...actually iTunes used to give away a free track every week but they seem to have stopped that...there's also Soulection and a crapload of others...

That fact that I buy my music makes me "old school"?

Lol no. It's called being a law-abiding citizen you dumb adolescent.

In Soviet Russia we just torrent whatever we want
