Here are a few tips to help you start downloading your favorite music
quickly & easily.
Download Limit
Current limits are set at three downloads per week. Your counter will set
back to zero each week on Monday morning. Then you can download three more
tunes during the new week. If you do not download your three songs in any
given week, you lose those three free downloads forever—in other words, use it
or lose it each week.
Click and Save
When you're ready to download a track, click the "Download Now" link,
select “Save” at the prompt, and designate your flash drive as the drive you
wish to save to.
PLEASE NOTE: Files will play/stream on iPads/tablets and smart
phones, but you CANNOT save to these devices. So using these
devices with the site directly will not work. Downloading needs to be done via
computer. ALSO PLEASE NOTE: Anytime you click on the "Download now" link,
even if you cancel the download, the download will count toward your weekly
allotment.
Having trouble finding your band in the Artist Search box?
Find bands that begin with "The" in their name, alphabetized under the
letter "T."
Recent Downloads
Once in a while, your Internet connection may be interrupted or time out
and you might experience an incomplete or problem download. Freegal Music
allows you to download previously downloaded songs again, without using up one
of your weekly downloads.
Searching
Use the Smart Search box for suggestions when you know the name of the
album, artist, or song. As you type into the search box, a list of possible
artist names, track names, or album names will drop down from the search tool.
Click on one of the suggestions to access tracks from only that artist. If you
type in a word and hit enter without selecting a suggestion, the search
results will include anything that has that word in the track, name, or album.
Use the Advanced Search to search by composer, or genre, as well as by artist,
song, or album.
