By now, there are millions of users who own this cool MP3 player. Surely, this large community would not mind packing their gadgets with songs and music they can transfer for free. The question is where you can find free music to download for iPod. Here are some tips to get you started.
1. File Format
Before you get all too excited, there is one thing you need to know. The iPod only reads and plays files in the following formats - AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV. So prior to downloading any piece of music, be sure to check if the site supports the formats.
Otherwise, you may have to convert them using audio file format conversion software. These can be quite costly. Even if you can get them from a freeware site, it will still take you lots of time just to convert the songs.
2. Music Genre
Another thing you might want to check is the kind of music they provide. Not every of such free sites offer a wide range of genres. Imagine if you can find one that comes with Alternative, Blues, Classical, Country, Dance, Children's Music, Electronic, Folk, Hip-Hop/Rap, Jazz, Latin, Pop, R&B/Soul, Rock, Soundtrack and Vocals. Well, there are.
3. Site Security
Next, ensure that the site is safe to use. There have been so many complaints from users about downloading adware, spyware and getting their PCs exposed to viruses. Reputable sites like Macidol, iLounge and iCompositions do provide some quality GarageBand music as well as songs from lesser known groups.
Always play safe by installing powerful anti-virus and anti-spyware software on your computer before you look for free music to download for iPod.
