Hi Seoirse, I'm afraid there's no such thing as downloading music legally for free, at least not music that is copyrighted and tied to the major record labels. For Classical music and music older than 50 years, there are some exceptions, if either the copyright has lapsed or has not been purchased by a record company. What sort of music are you interested in downloading? Stuart. ************** Sent from my O2 mobile device. Stuart Lawler. Specialist Technology Advisor. NCBI: Working For People With Sight Loss.
