Music files are the most common type of file being downloaded all over the internet. I personally have over one thousand songs in different languages downloaded absolutely free.
There are many free music download soft wares, but many of them contain viruses and some are even illegal. Almost half of them will require you to enter credit card number or some sort of money oriented commitment, but one software doesn't ask you any personal questions and free, fast and easy to use.
In my opinion the best free music download programs are ARES and LimeWire. Why would I pick ARES and LimeWire from thousands of other music download programs? Read ahead to find out more and in depth features: First comes ARES
1.) Sound Control: ARES has in built sound controller. You can choose to lower the volume of the songs or make it higher using the program itself rather than doing it on the speakers. The benefit of this is when you have speakers which are on the top of the wall or unreachable, then you can use the volume control in ARES to control the volume.
2.) Clean: 98% of ARES files are clean from virus and I have never downloaded a song which contained any kind of spyware or Trojans. There are some potential risks in downloading movies, but for songs all of them are usually clean.
3.) Choices: With ARES you can choose from where to download the songs. For example if your friend has the songs you want to download, then you can actually download it through your friend's computer. When you type in a song name, you don't just get one file, you might get hundreds of download mirrors, and you select the one which fits your criteria. This reduces the risk of virus, since you are choosing the file to download yourself. You can see the comments about the file, and people will generally warn you if it has virus.
4.) Organization: It is very easy to organize songs with ARES. You can filter the songs by author, genre, alphabetically or make your own playlist. You can even listen to the recent downloaded songs by selecting "Latest Downloads" which will give you the list of only your most recent songs downloaded. In addition, you can give the playlist your own name, and add details about files.
These are some of the best features of ARES which makes it stand out from other programs. Most songs take between 5-15 minutes to download. Sometimes the download link might be broken, but you can always select another file if the connection is lost. One
