Not all songs can be downloaded for free but for the ones that don't have a minimum price, put a zero in the 'Name Your Price' box. To do this, choose Buy Digital Track, enter 0 in the box, select download to your computer, and follow the on-screen prompts to get the download.

Sometimes, there also isn't a minimum price on entire albums, so you can use the Buy Digital Album option to get all of its songs for free.

YouTube

What We Like

• There's a lot of music available

• All the songs can be streamed

• Apps let you stream from your mobile device

What We Don't Like

• It's really hard to find free music downloads

• It's too easy to download copyrighted music accidentally

Yes, YouTube is a huge source for music and most of it is illegal to download due to copyright restrictions.

However, if you filter your search results for Creative Commons videos only, it's completely safe to download music from YouTube. Look for videos that have download links to the audio, but if you're sure it's legal and don't see a download link, you can still get it with a YouTube to MP3 downloader.

You might also filter Duration for Short (<4 minutes) (here) to find what are most likely music videos instead of interviews, YouTube movies, etc.

Despite YouTube being the largest video streaming service on the internet, we've placed it at the very bottom of this list because it's not easy to find free music among all the other content.

A new version of Last.fm is available, to keep everything running smoothly, please reload the site.
