TheFreeSite.com: Free MP3 Resources
Before the controversial MP3 sound file format came along, downloading an entire song from the Web was often impractical. With most sound formats, even a portion of a tune was often several megabytes in size and took forever to download.
That all changed with the advent of MP3 technology. Using this format, a 50 megabyte file can be squashed down to five megs, making downloads much more practical. Moreover, relatively little audio sound quality is lost in the compression.
If you're going to be downloading MP3 files off the Web, then you'll want to check out our free music software section, which features the Web's best freeware programs for playing your sound files.
Always be wary when downloading from MP3 sites: many feature copyrighted materials. Be sure to read each site's disclaimer. Please send us E-mail if you're aware of any such free sound-related resources that we haven't listed below, or if you find dead or expired links.
