  • Introduction

    Want to listen to music on your computer, iPod or other music player? The fastest way to get your songs, without even having to leave the house, is by downloading. The process is quick and simple. Just read this guide to get started.

  • Step 1: Make a List

    The first step is deciding what you want to listen to. It helps to have a list of the songs that you would like to own. Take a few minutes to write down your favorites. Think about the songs that you enjoy listening to on the radio or at clubs, as well as the music that you grew up with.

    If you can't think of anything off the top of your head, relax. You can also browse selections online. There is a lot to choose from, however, so it does help to at least have some artists or particular genres in mind.

  • Step 2: Find a Downloading Site

    The next step is to find a website or program to download from. iTunes is the most popular, and you can download it for free on your Mac or PC by going to www.apple.com/itunes. You will have to pay for most of your iTunes songs, though occasionally you will find freebies.

    • There are other sites online that offer free music, but the selections won't be as extensive as on iTunes. Here are a few to try:
    1. www.hypem.com (The Hype Machine)
    2. http://elbo.ws (Elbo.ws)
    3. www.bearshare.com (BearShare)
    • Every site will have different instructions, but generally you will start with a search for the song or artist you want to download. Follow all directions from there.

  • Step 3: Use Caution

    Any time you download, you leave your computer vulnerable to viruses, malware, and spyware. Therefore, it is imperative that you not go to untrustworthy sites for your music. Stick with the well-known sources, and if you have any doubts, navigate away from the page. No song is worth harming your computer!
