11 Entirely Legal & Free MP3 Album Downloads [Sound Sunday]


class="align-right" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/images/recurring/sound-sunday.png" alt="" />Party this Sound Sunday!

This edition is heavy on punk and rock, with a little folk and electronic sounds mixed in. Since it also contains a lot of shorter EPs, I decided to give you one additional album to make up for it. As you may have noticed, I’ve been playing around with the title a little. This has become necessary to convince the search engine algorithms that the content here is indeed unique. Do you find it unique enough?

Feedback and comments are most welcome. Feel free to email me [tina at makeuseof dot com] with genre requests or album suggestions.

    Taking The Legal Way In Finding Free MP3 Downloads


    Gaining immense popularity in the last few years, mp3s are all the rage. Stores are racing to keep mp3 players in stocks, and sites offering mp3 downloads are enjoying unprecedented traffic. Accordingly, the demand for free mp3 downloads is on the rise. While the phrase “free mp3 downloads” often conjures up images of the peer-to-peer file sharing networks that are constantly embroiled in legal battles, there are other, legal ways to get your mp3 fix without resorting to legally questionable resources.


    If you’re eager to get free mp3 downloads of your favorite artist, try visiting the official website. Many artists will release tracks from past or present albums in order to generate interest and, of course, increase sales. Fully supported by the artists and their labels, these tracks are usually of high quality, and may feature deep cuts that wouldn’t get much airplay. Record label websites also sometimes offer free tracks of up and coming artists, or known artists that could use a boost in sales.


    You may also get free mp3 downloads as part of a promotion from retailers eager to capitalize on the popularity of mp3s. Some stores print codes that can be redeemed at websites, giving you access to a certain number of downloads, all for free. The libraries carried at these sites is often extensive enough to ensure that everyone can find a few tracks that they like.


    Similarly, online music stores often give out codes for free downloads to encourage people to try their services, or sponsor promotions in conjunction with other companies using codes as a prize. These sites often have the most extensive libraries available, including otherwise hard to find tracks.


    One important thing to keep in mind when partaking in free mp3 downloads is to make sure that they are compatible with your preferred player. While mp3 refers to a specific file format, the term is often used generically to refer to music files of any format. Additionally, files may come encoded with Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection, limiting your ability to re-copy files to multiple players or copy them to CDs.


    The media attention that has been focused on mp3 downloads has sent a clear message to record labels and music vendors: people like to download mp3s quickly and easily, and free mp3 downloads is a great way to attract customers. By wooing customers with the promise of free tracks, companies achieve two things: increased overall sales, and improved customer perception.


    Many music buyers are dismayed over the restrictions and legal action enacted by the music industry, and have made their preferences clear: mp3 downloads, free or otherwise, are the way of the future, and the music industry would do well to act accordingly, whether by offering free mp3 downloads, or at the very least, making music files accessible, convenient and inexpensive.

    Is Downloading MP3 From File Sharing Programs Legal?


    File sharing programs such as KaZaa, Ares, iMesh and Limewire have never been more popular. They are pretty controversial as well. You may have heard of the countless lawsuits against them by music records companies and the MPAA. So is downloading MP3 from these programs legal?

    How Do File Sharing Programs Work?

    Modern file sharing programs connects users directly to each other allowing them to share and download files. They are also called P2P, or peer to peer programs. Unlike old file sharing programs such as Napster who ran all connections through their servers. That is also why it is sometimes difficult to determine exactly who is downloading what.

    File sharing programs by themselves are not illegal. In fact, they are legitimate uses for it. For example, it is used by academy institutions and universities to exchange research data and cross learning. They are also used by musicians and artists to showcase their talents by distributing their music free through file-sharing networks.

    Many people are confused as to what is legal to download and what is not. The problem stems from the fact that it is so easy to download illegal MP3 and other illegal files from these file sharing networks that people often do not know they are actually violating copyright laws.

    They do not have sufficient knowledge of copyright laws. Current copyright laws allow an individual to rip MP3 provided he or she has brought a copy of the CD. However, he or she cannot give, sell or upload MP3 to others. Beware due to MP3 piracy, record companies have recently developed technologies that do not allow you to rip mp3 from CD. Add to that, they are dozens of websites on the internet proclaiming to be able to download mp3 and movies legally when they are not!

    How to determine whether you can download MP3 legally?

    Technically, any MP3 posted on file-sharing programs without the permission of the artist is illegal. Most commercial MP3 on file sharing networks are illegal, so my advice would be to avoid them altogether.

    There are a few reputable MP3 download sites on the internet you can trust. The most famous of all is itunes from Apple. Napster has a subscription service per month that allows you to download more than two million mp3 legally. Technically, you do not own the mp3 so do not give, sell or upload to file sharing networks.

    Using Legal Music Download Sites for your Mp3 Player


    Modern technology makes music more accessible than ever, with a huge percentage of people now downloading music from the internet onto their MP3 player. Many people use file sharing sites to obtain their MP3 player files, but these sites do not have copyright ownership. This alters the stability and quality of the product, and can also lead to legal proceedings being brought against the user. Therefore, the best way to download music to your audio player is to find a legitimate site.

    Online MP3 player downloads from a legitimate site have the benefit of being licensed by either the record company or the artist. This means that there is no infringement of copyright laws and so enables many benefits for the user. Approximately 35% of all MP3 player owners now use this method to download music files. Of course, licensed MP3 file downloads come with a price tag but this is minimal when compared with the cost of CDs and minidisks.

    There are two ways of paying for MP3 player downloads. The first is one off fee or monthly payment that acts as a subscription. This method enables subscribers to download unlimited music files to their audio devices, and is cost effective for any consumer who requires regular use of the services. The second method of payment entails a pay per download or burn scenario. This is more cost effective for those who will use file downloads less frequently. Either payment method will enable the user to reap the benefits of legitimate MP3 file downloads.

    The main benefits of using a legitimate MP3 player download site is that the sound quality is the best possible as state of the art digital recording equipment is used. The download speed is also excellent, and many download sites have great additional extras such as MP3 ripping and MP3 tagging services. Licensed MP3 player files will not corrupt part of the way through, and so you can be confident in the service received. The licensing means that the download site will not be closed due to copyright infringement, which is common amongst file sharing sites. One of the main benefits of using a legitimate site is that there is little risk of encountering and picking up a virus. Licensed MP3 player download sites have advanced security measures which are updated frequently to ensure the best possible product is received by customers. There is also better privacy guaranteed, with spyware detected and removed, keeping customers safe from risk.

    Of course there are some disadvantages to be had. Licensed MP3 player download sites have a much smaller selection of music available than the file sharing sites. There are also very few licensed mp3 download sites available, so there is little choice in terms of which service provider you can use. However, the quality of the sites available is very good, so this should not be a problem. The cost involved with licensed MP3 player sites is off putting to many, but overall the advantages of subscribing outweigh the disadvantages. The licensed site guarantees a quality product for your audio player, which is safe for your computer and which follows laws and regulations. It is fast, accessible and cost effective.

    Many MP3 player download sites offer free trials of its product and services so that you can test the site thoroughly before committing to any purchase. This involves being able to download a specified number of MP3 files or being able to use the services for a set length of time before a payment is required. To be more informed, read reviews of the sites before trialling their product as this will save you time.

    Case Management – Beyond Legal Software


    Last year DPS Software signed four new clients. Nottingham Trent University (NTU), Jackson Parton Shipping Solicitors, Davies & Davies Associates and Clark Willis Law Firm have all chose DPS Software as their preferred supplier of software solutions for the legal profession. By signing these clients, DPS branched out into three niche areas.

    Barry Bostoff, Sales Manager at DPS Software commented: “In the current climate it is encouraging to see that firms are spending money on case management solutions. IT is the backbone of any business and Case Management Systems provide firms with a solid IT infrastructure which is critical when steering any business through these uncertain times.”

    He continued: “The market is slowly improving and I see firms looking at IT to help rebuild their businesses. PMS systems give firms the solid base they need to be ready to cope with the increased workload when the market picks up.”

    NTU, Jackson Parton and Davies & Davies Associates required a bespoke solution to meet their needs. NTU required a case management system with various permission/log in rights across 4 departments including each of NTU’s 5 HR Teams, the Corporate HR Team, the Equality & Diversity Team and the HR Payroll Team.

    Jackson Parton are a specialist marine law practice handling wet and dry marine, commodity and trade, insurance and related litigation and non‐contentious work. They needed a Matter Management and Accounts package with digital dictation facilities.

    Davies & Davies Associates required a combined case management and accounts package for their work in Alternative Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Adjudication within the construction industry.

    Commenting on these signings Sales Supervisor, James Drew said: “Having supplied software solutions to the legal market for over 25 years we have built a solid case management product. Inevitably, our solutions have drawn the attention of businesses outside of the legal profession for their flexibility and versatility.”

    He continued: “These firms spotted the potential of our system to assist in the smooth running of their businesses and we look forward to working with them in the future.”

    DPS also welcome Clark Willis Law Firm. Clark Willis will soon be implementing a system with multiple applications for their multi‐disciplined practice.

    Access Legal Systems And Dps Software – The Partnership Works!


    In March 2009 DPS Software announced that they had taken over the development and

    maintenance, support services, sales and ongoing training duties of Access Legal Systems. The take over of Access Legal Systems means that firms such as CTurner Solicitors, who use both Access and DPS Software solutions, now use one company for the support and maintenance services of their software. 

    CTurner Solicitors is a general legal practice situated in the market town of Blackburn, Lancashire. This three partner firm was originally established over twenty years ago when it specialised in law relating to the road haulage industry. Since then, it has expanded to cover a wide range of specialist areas including conveyancing, criminal and family law, personal injury and employment.

    CTurner have implemented a fully integrated system for accounts and case management, drawing on the expertise of Access Legal Systems and DPS Software. The firm use Access Legal Systems for the accounts, time recording and case management in Family, Personal Injury and Conveyancing. This system works in conjunction with their Criminal Billing System from DPS Software.

    The Solutions

    CTurner Solicitors have been a long term user of accounts and practice management systems from Access Legal Systems. The firm installed a DOS‐based system in 1992 and since then, the system has evolved into one of the most feature‐rich Windows‐based systems currently available.

    Access Legal Accounting and Time Recording System has been designed to meet the requirements of the Solicitors Accounts Rules 1998 and provide the solicitors’ practice with the financial and management information necessary to manage the practice and comply fully with the solicitors accounts rules.

    The product can be run as a stand alone application or it can be fully integrated with the Access Practice and Client Database, Case Management and Time Capture systems to provide fully comprehensive practice management, marketing and fee earner support systems.

    The time billing system enables all time spent in the preparation of letters and emails, the handling of telephone calls or attending meetings to be automatically captured along with all disbursements. In addition, the integrated diary system enables the firm to keep track of all key events and dates to ensure that every case was being handled efficiently. Staff are alerted of all events such as court dates, document submissions, witness notifications, contract exchange and completion dates enabling key actions to be completed in a timely manner.

    The Access Legal practice management system delivers major benefits by enabling the departments where it is in use to maintain complete records of everything relating to individual matters. This information is readily available to members of staff from any PC and has reduced the handling of paper‐based files.

    The firm’s Access Legal System works alongside their DPS Criminal Billing System. DPS One Office Crime CDS system contracting operates according to the latest criminal Publicly Funded & Franchising criteria. It is a unique and powerful system which can literally save hours of valuable fee earning time and facilitates accurate and efficient billing.

    The Practice Manager at CTurner Solicitors commented: “In common with many other legal practices, there is an increasing emphasis on integration to drive down costs and meet the demands of an ever more competitive business environment. Our system has the flexibility to adapt to our way of working and is enabling the management team to keep a close watch on the business to ensure that every case is handled to the highest professional standards.”

    Mp3 Music Downloads – Make Sure Your Legal


    Mp3 is a very commonly used audio format for audio storage and this format provides quality audio with minimum size. This specialty of Mp3 format makes it ideal for high data storage and fast downloading. Many websites on the internet provide Mp3 music downloads, which includes all types of music such as movie songs, albums, folk songs, classical melodies, religious music and more. Many of the sites provide the facility to listen to the Mp3 music and then download it if you are interested. You can also store these music downloads in CDs for future use. Among the various sites that provide Mp3 music downloads, some sites provide free downloads and some charge a fee for downloading. Mp3 music downloads are of two types – legal Mp3 music downloads and illegal Mp3 music downloads.


    Illegal sites that provide Mp3 music downloads function against copyright act since these sites provide songs that are right protected. Accessing these illegal downloads is punishable. Even though these sites feature big collections and new songs download, songs from these sites can harm your computer. This is because many of these sites send spyware and viruses along with their downloads. Some of these sites first ask to install some program or software to download the Mp3 music and when you run these programs spyware enters the computer and damages it.


    There are legal Mp3 music downloads provided by websites which are owned by music companies. Mp3 music downloads from these sites are very good in quality compared to illegal downloads. Some artists provide their songs as free Mp3 downloads and these songs are legal since they do not have any record dealings. These Mp3 music downloads are provided just to share their music. The main disadvantage of legal websites is the lesser collection of Mp3 music, compared to that offered by illegal sites.


    Different sites adopt different methods for providing Mp3 music downloads. Some sites ask for a lifetime membership fee. Once you become a member of that site, you can have unlimited downloads. Some other sites provide Mp3 downloads at monthly rents. Another group of sites provides a free trial period for downloading music and after the trial period they charge a fee for downloading. There are some programs like BitTorent which provide multiple and parallel downloads of Mp3 music and videos.


    Anti spyware and anti viruses cannot always protect your computer while downloading illegal Mp3 music. The best option therefore, is to depend on legal sites for Mp3 music and video downloads.

    Top 5 Sources For Free or Cheap Online Legal Help


    intro_legalhelpHave a question about your legal rights? You’re not alone. Every once in a while something comes up that requires the attention of your attorney. These occurrences can be caused by problems related to housing, work, family, bankruptcy, disability, or immigration—to name a few.

    I recently wrote an article covering the ‘8 Best Websites for Law Students’. If you don’t practice law, chances are you don’t know what to do when these issues arise. Can these concerns only be solved by a lawyer? And, doesn’t that cost money?

    In this article, we’re going to discuss the top five resources for you to find free/cheap online legal help. These sites offer so much information that by the time we’re done you might actually consider going to law school. Sound exciting? You might want to cancel that legal consultation you’ve scheduled with your lawyer.

    Before we get started, I’d like to point you to three great services we’ve previously covered in the MUO directory to find free online legal help: CivilAnswers, Avvo, & JDSupra. These are excellent resources and might be just what you’re looking for. If you’re still thirsty for more, however, here are the five sources I promised you:

    LawInfo

    free online legal help

    LawInfo has an enormous amount of free resources at your disposal. They offer access to over 100,000 forms for almost any legal issue and an FAQ section where you can find answers to over 24,000 legal questions.

    They have statutes, articles, how-to’s, legal guides, videos, and a library of resources to help you learn the law or find the right attorney. Their videos are really well shot and are short and to the point. I’d go on, but that’d just be bragging.

    FreeAdvice

    free online legal help

    FreeAdvice offers “outstanding advice” at a “reasonable price”. This free service has a large collection of law/legal information for you to take in and allows you to ask your questions to lawyers. What sets this service apart from the rest is their forum. There they have thousands of posts and threads for you to read and you can submit your questions/thoughts directly to the community.

    LawFiles.net

    free online legal help

    LawFiles.net is a place where you can submit your questions to attorneys in seconds. It has a very simple design and offers a lot of useful information. This service is free and confidential, keeping your legal matters private. You can also read recent answers, legal articles, and news.

    LawGuru

    legal help

    LawGuru has a team of attorney contributors just waiting to answer your legal questions. They have a very simple system that lets you ask legal questions, search past questions/answers, and find local attorneys.

    When submitting a question, you have the option of submitting your query as ‘free’ or ‘paid’. Paid questions allow you to hand select the attorneys you would like your question sent to and comes with 100% confidentiality, meaning your question won’t be published on the LawGuru public answers system.

    Free questions are placed on a five day hold before being submitted to attorneys. When your question receives an answer, you are notified by email and the Q&A is posted to LawGuru Answers.

    The Law

    legal help

    The Law is home to an accumulation of legal discussions, forms, guides, and FAQs. You can submit your cases for a free online legal help there, as well as locate an attorney by keyword, location, or practice area. The website is well organized and easy to read.

    By now you should have all of the legal information you could possibly read. I hope you found these sources useful in your search for good legal advice. Know of another great site to get free/cheap legal help? If so, leave your tips, ideas, concerns, etc. in the comment section below!
