Using computer for free songs download has been a trend from the days of Emule and Napster and continued with the torrents. This development is curious because even two decades ago,Free Songs Download Is Here To Stay Articles free music would have been an absurd idea.  Go back further and a hundred years, even owning music was an impossible idea.

What caused this change? Firstly, the recording technology changed the way music can be owned. Now we can consume music the way we wish. Consumption of music might sound odd but what are we doing, if not consuming, when we are absorbing a piece of music which fills our heart?  When we really pay attention and listen to something over and over, the music really reveals itself and suggests more than we guessed at the first go.

However, things changed completely when the internet and computer came. Free songs download comes up as an alternative which we all prefer. Of course, sometimes the songs are downloaded illegally but industry is cracking down severely against these transgressors.

Some independent music producers try to catch the fancy of the public by allowing free songs download. This way they can get free publicity and acceptance from the crowd and hope for the big companies to rope them in.

This is a very true statement. The music industry needs to embrace this concept of free music instead of fighting it. None can fight against the whole world, no matter how big, organised or powerful they are. Several studies have suggested that, if premium content is served for free, the ultimate return on investment actually grows manifold.
