Here’s Where To Get Thousands Of LEGAL Free Music For Your iPod!

Some of the best known musicians today were discovered by releasing their music - free - on YouTube. But YouTube is hard to navigate and finding great music there is just plain hard work these days.

But all is not lost, because, Soundclick offers a fantastic venue for musicians to show off their music for us - and there are literally tens of thousands of free Mp3 tracks on offer there. The trick is knowing how to navigate the site to find the free music to download to our iPods (they are made available under creative commons license so it is absolutely legal to download them for free)

As you can see in the image, there are over 400,000 free MP3s on offer for download to our iPods - in a wide range of genres. Below is a sample from the “Rock” genre (artist is Code Shred):

The team here at iPodBomb love visiting this site and trying out the different music from the keen musicians there. We have found some truly awesome music. If you need more detailed guide on how to navigate the site then follow this link.

Free Music Downloads For iPod

Have you had a look around at what’s available on  iTunes in other countries? There are some very different music and videos (and apps for the Touch)  on offer for download to our iPods. And for those with an account in that country, some great free music that we just cannot get at home.

Take a look at what free music is currently on offer to download to our iPods in some other countries:

Now - as you will soon discover if you decide to check this out further - iTunes does not offer a music store in all countries, so no freebies in those countries. But, as you can see, there are regular freebies available in others.

So the question is: how do we get our hands on these freebies? Well, if you purchase an iTunes card for any of these countries, you can set up an account for yourself there. Now, you need a residential address, so it helps if you have a friend in the country of choice who will let you list their address! Check out iPhonegizmo for more details of how to set up an account this way.

And let us know how this worked for you.
