MP3 is the latest thing to hit the online music market, serving to heighten up music mania all over the world. This is only understandable since the recording industry seem bent on squeezing the public for every amount of dollar they can get. Another reason why MP3s are so popular, aside from its apparent affordability, is that it serves as a portal for Independent and unsigned artists to distribute their works to music enthusiasts who are hungry for music other than those crammed down their throats by the stiff-necked music industry.
However, legal questions have been raised on the issue of sharing or downloading copyrighted files on the Internet and many online sites offering free music for download went down, e.g. Napster. Then, in light of the legal issues tackled, modifications have been added to ensure that intellectual properties are amply protected in such a diverse and anonymous surrounding as the Internet.
Many websites today lets you download MP3 files. This can be done either completely for free or for a charge, usually small and oftentimes, one-time only. Below are some great sites where you can download MP3 files.
