Music downloads began when digital versions of songs start to appear online. In the beginning everybody was enthusiastic about the new possibility the Internet offered and nobody paid attention to legal issues.

Even nowadays most of the free sites are pirates. If you want to be able to download music, you need a music downloading program. When you are searching for a suitable music downloading programs, make sure that the program you pick supports downloading music in as many formats as possible. This is important because there is a large variety of formats and even though almost all good programs support many formats, you should make sure that the program you plan to download supports the formats you need.
