There's only one thing better than discovering your new favorite band: getting their music legally and for free, and then packing your iPhone and iTunes library full of it. Getting free music on the internet has been easy since the debut of Napster in Getting that music in a way that doesn't deprive artists of payment for their work was harder. Over the years, tons of authorized websites and apps have offered legitimate and free music to make sure you're never out of new songs. The music sites and apps listed below aren't the only places to get free MP3s , but these sites have so much free music that you'll never be able to listen to everything each has to offer. Some of these sources let you download music, but others are for streaming only. Either way, you get loads of free music without paying a dime. All of these websites and apps are supported on most iOS devices, including the iPhone, iPod touch , and iPad. However, most music apps are updated often to accommodate new iOS versions, and therefore drop support for older ones. You might not be able to use some music streaming apps on your device unless you use a modern version of iOS.
