Downloading music online

Downloading music online has become very popular over the last several years. The huge interest in downloading music online has even captured the attention and concern of the music industry because of lost revenue in sales of traditional CDs.

There are literally hundreds of music download services available that allow people to download music online. Most of these services offer the music for free through Peer to Peer (P2P) or File Sharing services. There are advantages and disadvantages to Peer to Peer (P2P) or File Sharing services. The other way to download music is through fee-based or pay per download and subscription based services, which also have their advantages and disadvantages.
