Online resources for discovering and downloading new music appear to be endless. And once you have discovered one that has everything you want, it’s gone. They come and go like the seasons. Some are legal, most are not.


The best way to keep up with the latest single or album releases, tour dates, and the hottest new bands are social music networks.


Here is a website that focuses entirely on what’s hot right now and where to get cool new tunes for free.



Muzic


We tune in and analyze this tidal wave of musical conversation to help you find songs, artists, and music bloggers that you want to know about. We want to help you discover new artists you’ll support in the future.


Sound good? Let’s have a look at how Muzic works.


Browsing for music…


When you’re not logged in the start page shows a tag cloud of “artists happening now”, i.e. artists that have a lot of free stuff out now. You can zoom over to “songs happening now” and “bloggers on our radar” by clicking the small buttons at the bottom of the tag cloud.



Muzic lets you search for artists, songs, or bloggers. But to discover new bands, “popular tags” or “songs by genre” are a better starting point.



The results page is a list of posts that match your query. Posts are created by the bloggers that provide the free MP3 downloads. Each post contains details about the song and a link back to the the site where it was posted originally.



Click on the song name to launch the song’s card, which contains some more information, as well as lists of more songs from the same blog and all songs from that artist below the card.


Downloading mp3s…


Once you found an interesting song, click > Get Song in its bottom left. You will be redirected to the original source. Muzic will stay with you though, as it is minimized to a small bar at the top of the page.



Now you can either download the song from the respective blog or from Muzic’s top navigation bar. If you decide for Muzic, > right-click the green > Download MP3 button and select > Save Link As… from the menu. Now select a destination and you’re ready to save the song.


To return to Muzic, click the << back link in its navigation bar at the top.


In case an artist uploaded a song to Muzic, you can directly download the MP3 from the respective song card. Uploaded songs can also be “previewed”, i.e. listened to in full through the Muzic player, which launches in a separate frame at the bottom of the page.



The community…


When you’re logged in you can add songs to your faves, follow other listeners or artists that have uploaded songs, and update your profile.



In all honesty, the profile features and community aspects are a little underdeveloped. Unless I missed out on something important, there is no real exchange between users. You can see what others added as their faves and follow them, but that’s about it. On the other hand that isn’t too bad. After all, you’re in for the latest free music and not for even more distractions.

I squeal that I've gone taken with Bollywood as best, though not to the one extent every bit my niece, who has a figure of Indian moving pictures and regularly lets others. The Bollywood better is so deep that I get to bound myself to checking those a couple of of its productions that belch up to see the attention of American movie referees. Otherwise I given be lost in Indian ocean of unfamiliar with movie titles, actors and actresses.

 

My niece as well accumulates CDs of Bollywood music. There's an Asian commercialize good her base that provides a cornucopia of them. Simply she has the very problem choosing CDs to buy that I do decisive which Bollywood movie may be worth my time. Unless she's seen the film from which a soundtrack derives, she's usually in the dark equally to whether a particular CD's vocals and creative people are ones she will enjoy.

 

At her petition, I set up a right smart for her to preview a sort of Bollywood vocals and even to live with them on her iPod for a while, all for Available. This way she can take wise decisions about which CDs she ultimately purchases.

 

First, I searched for Indian music Web sites, and specifically for those devoted to Bollywood, or at least modern popular medicine (as opposed, say, to classical Indian ragas). I found several good ones, with names such as Bollywood earth and India FM.

 

nearly of the Web sites I found offered song samples, meaning 30-second or 1-minute snippets. Some experienced full audio streams that allowed the visitor to listen to continuous Bollywood medicine for equally long every bit she or he might want. It was these latter that provided the first half of our solution.

 

Normally, streaming audio, such as what you hear over an Internet radio station, cannot be saved or downloaded. New computer software, though, makes it possible to show the stream to your hard drive for replaying every bit often as you like.

 

Even better, some of the newest audio capture software package incorporates something called an mp3 splitter. This software program is able to break the audio stream into break mp3 song files. By the style, this is utterly legal, because you're simply showing a broadcast, the identical every bit when you tape a TV show on your VHS. Voila -- we made the second half of our solution.

 

Between the audio streams and splitter/transcription software package, we produced our own virtual Bollywood mp3 download sites.

 

Now whenever my niece is in a humor to research the latest tuneful offerings from Bollywood, she ticks on her favorite Indian-medicine Internet radio station, then starts the showing software package. Pretty soon she has enough Bollywood mp3s to shuffle through for the rest of the hebdomad, and she's almost assured to find two or three that will spur her to establish a travel to the CD bin complete at the Asian storage.
