Welcome!

If you are a music lover like me, you are always looking for new and exiting music. The web is a fantastic place where we may discover both old classics and new compositions we never knew existed. Music artists have the right to get paid when their music is downloaded from the web. Still, they sometimes choose to give a track away for free! This blog has a collection of 100% legal music downloads from such artists. Note: Even if you have permission to play the music on your personal device(s), you can usually not share these files with others. You should always check what kind of restrictions each music track has before you download it from the site. - You are of course always allowed to share a link to a site with legal, free downloads, as you see lots of in this blog :)
