LEGALLY DOWNLOAD MUSIC & STREAM MOVIES FOR FREE
LISTEN
SOUNDCLOUD
SoundCloud is a great place to stream music in practically every
genre that you can think of. But did you know that this website even lets you
download MP3 music files?
This service, in conjunction with artistpromotion services such
as hypeddit.com and http:www.tuneboost.net, allows you to save music from new
artists onto your PC.
The easiest way to find free music is to type “free download“ on
the site's search engine, click on the `More' button or the `Free Download'
link right below the song. That said, you might need to `like' artist profiles,
or `follow' them on these services before the file is saved to your computer.
