5 Harsh Realities Of MP3s

By Daniel Berkich


Expand Your Music Library with Legal MP3 Downloads

Music is one of the oldest and most moving forms of art. This desire to listen to music has allowed humans to become musicians in order to perform for others. Once recorded music became widely available, people were able to purchase recordings of songs that they could listen at their own leisure in their homes.

With the growth of the internet, many people found that they could download songs illegally. Naturally, this loss of music revenue has greatly reduced the average incomes for musicians. If you want to support independent musicians who are trying to make a living, then you should look into legal ways to download MP3 files.

One of the simplest methods for doing this is through an MP3 download service. These are run as a sort of a la carte system where you select the songs you would like to purchase, and then you are giving access to download the MP3 files. If you are familiar with the physical method of buying music, this is going to be the closest digital analogue to the old record store model. Downloading MP3 files legally is provides musicians one of the highest royalty rates of all music opportunities.

A recent development in the industry has been the creation of paid subscription music services. The idea has been around for a while, but only recently have companies figured out a way to operate them for profit. In order to be a successful business model, the music service must have a large library of songs; then, after a person has paid a weekly, monthly, or yearly fee, they are granted access to the songs. Instead of downloading MP3 files, the user will instead get to listen to the audio files via direct streaming. This is a great method for people who want to listen to a lot of diverse music. The royalty rates for consumers in this model, though, are significantly lower than in other methods.

Cloud storage has recently been cropping up with a number of legal download services. In this model, you will download MP3 files for a price, but you will also be able to store your MP3 files on a remote server. For people who listen to their music files on many different devices, this is something that really helps you out. You can have all of your music playing devices sync up to the remote server, which means you won't have to worry about transferring all your own files to the various devices. For the ultimate in convenience when you don't have very much time to spare, this is the way to go.
