Check out my report for Last.week at https://www.last.fm/user/android9791/listening-report/year/2024/week/19. https://www.last.fm/user/android9791/listening-report/year/2024/week/19

Here’s what I listened to (digitally) this week. This week was a fantastic week for listening to music tbh. I’m back to listening to full albums again! Like all the time!! Feel like a teenager again in that respect. I have a hunger for it and most importantly listening to new stuff. For years i would buy cds and they’d just pile up but now I’m working through them and having a great time doing it ☺️

Fave new album listened to: If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power by Halsey

Top 10 Free MP3 Music Download Sites in 2018

Is there anything better in this world than music? Believe it or not, yes. The answer, of course, is free, open source music!

While the notion of downloading MP3s may seem strange in the age of Spotify, iHeartRadio and Pandora, downloading your music can give you the freedom that streaming can’t offer.

Make sure you’re never without your music by checking out 10 of our favorite free and legal MP3 download sites!

1. MP3Juices

We’ll start off with one of our absolute favorite music resource tools, MP3Juices. You may recall that we’ve given them a shout-out in the past, and for good reason.

While their site’s UI isn’t the most modern thing in the world, MP3Juices’ usability is on a whole other level.

Simply check out the site, type in the type of music you’re feeling, and browse from a massive free collection of tunes you’re sure to love.

What’s cool about MP3Juices is that it gets most of its audio straight from YouTube, so you can expect to get high-quality audio, even in a small MP3 file.

2. MP3Skull

While MP3Juices is fun, fast, and easy, it’s ultimately a little lacking, as you can typically only get audio from YouTube videos.

That’s where MP3Skull comes in. MP3Skull is all about options, giving you the ability to choose from YouTube, Deezer, and 4Shared. As you can likely guess, more sources of audio means more fantastic audio.

We recommend checking out the site’s how-to guide before giving it a shot, as it can get a little complicated if you’re not used to downloading.

3. YouTube

Sometimes it’s best to go straight to the source. If you’re someone who doesn’t want to mess with peculiar interfaces or research how to download music, keep it simple and head to YouTube.

Snag the YouTube app on your phone and sign up for an account (assuming you haven’t already).

Signing into the app should give you the chance to save videos to your account so you can play them offline. It’s quite handy and cuts out the middleman entirely.

4. Jamendo

Sometimes downloading an MP3 of a song you’ve already heard 1,000 times won’t cut it. Sometimes you want to discover something different and find some hot new talent.

If that sounds relevant to your interests, Jamendo is the site for you. Think of it as a cross between SoundCloud and Amazon Music.

It’s a site designed solely for independent artists to get their names out in the public, but it offers the convenience and accessibility of your standard streaming service.

And Jamendo is great for more than casual listening, for that matter. If you’re a video editor or want some cool background music for your office, they have a catalog of stock music ready for commercial use.

5. Amazon Music

Honestly, what can be said about Amazon that hasn’t been said before? They’re the behemoth of the digital market, generating 44% of all United States-based eCommerce.

So it makes sense that they’d dip their toes into the world of MP3 downloads.

While Amazon Music isn’t technically free, we’re willing to guess that you’re one of the millions of people with a Prime membership. And yet a shocking number of people aren’t taking advantage of this awesome service.

As great as Spotify is, it doesn’t let you actually download the music itself to your phone. In contrast, Amazon Music lets you do exactly that, and in a convenient MP3 format, to boot.

6. SoundCloud

Everyone and their mother seems to have dropped a mixtape or two on SoundCloud. In fact, the streaming service seems to have become somewhat of a joke among the Internet’s massive music community.

Still, for all of the jokes, SoundCloud is one of the best sites for discovering independent music out there.

While it can be hard to parse through the junk to find the good stuff, SoundCloud has tons of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered and downloaded.

7. Free Music Archive (FMA)

Any site beginning with the word ‘free’ is almost guaranteed to be good. And Free Music Archive certainly delivers on that!

While other sites may have a larger selection of music, few sites, if any, are as well-tagged and organized as FMA’s selection. In a matter of minutes, you can find exactly what you’re after, be it electronic, rock, metal, or instrumental and have it on your phone only seconds later.

And if you’re not sure what you’re looking for, FMA still has you covered. Check out its curation section for some of the best new music you’ve never heard.

8. Archive.org

We like to think that our choices of entertainment are permanent. But the fact of the matter is that some types of music are so poorly preserved that we run the risk of losing them entirely.

Archive.org is a site dedicated to preventing the loss of fantastic entertainment. Users can download music, audiobooks, radio dramas, podcasts, and just about anything you can think of to get your aural fix.

And if that wasn’t enough, you can even download public domain films, images, and books, too.

9. Last.FM

Halfway between the mainstream and the underground, Last.fm brings users a little bit of something well-known with a bit of something new.

Users can download tracks from awesome indie artists like Death Grips, Mac DeMarco, The Glitch Mob, and Sufjan Stevens for an extremely impressive digital library of free music.

10. Bandcamp

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’re in a band and have a Bandcamp page for your own music. But did you know that you can use Bandcamp to discover free downloads, too?

Be sure to check out the free download tag so you can be the first to hear great music from your genre contemporaries.
