No more having to go out and buy the CD or waiting to hear it on
the radio. Now, with the help of this article, you�ll be able
to find which sites provide the best country music downloads
with the easiest access for you.

Don�t you hate it when you�re excited about a new CD that�s
coming out, then you buy it and there are only a couple good of
songs? With music downloads you no longer have to go through
this grueling process anymore as you can simply select the songs
or artists that interest you most and make a collaboration of
your favorite country music downloads.

At MSN Music you can find everything country that will satisfy
your needs. One of the many things they offer is the current
top selling albums such as Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban�s Be Here,

Another site that is very much worth mentioning is MP3.com. Here
you can find not only country music downloads, but also watch
videos of an assortment of artists. This site helps you find a
certain artist or song very quickly making it convenient. If
you simply want to browse through a certain kind of country,
they have different songs broken into different country styles
such as alternative country, country-pop, honky tonk and more.

On the side of the main page they have classic country
essentials such as Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Charlie Rich and

There are sites out there that allow you to get country music
downloads for �free�, but be careful with these sites. Many of
these sites say they�re free, but will sucker you into buying
other things or somehow get you signed up for buying CD�s and
more. For instance, http://www.ez-tracks.com makes you sign up
first by submitting your name, address, phone number, and more
information.

Another site found at http://www.mpfree.com has you go through
several steps to sign up. Included in the steps is personal
information such as name and address, you have to set up an
account with a password, then there are two or three pages of
advertisements that you have to go through and select if you�re
interested or not.

So while it may seem cheaper and worth the time to attempt to
find country music downloads for free, you may want to
investigate and try some things out before going into that.

There are millions of sites out there offering country music
downloads and they�re all waiting for you. I have provided a
few of the better sites in my opinion to get you started. Now
it�s your turn to go and begin putting together a list of your
favorite country music songs.

Downloading MP3's Made Easy
by: Keith Kingston

The MP3 movement started out with a huge audience of music enthusiasts on the internet. The MP3 digital music format has had, and will continue to have, a huge impart on how people, gather, listen to and share music.

The MP3 format is a compression system for digital music that helps reduce the size of a digitized song without disturbing the sound quality. Digital music is converted to MP3 format and made available for use, usually via the web. MP3 files can be downloaded onto your computer from the internet and special software, either commercial or freeware. Using your computer and software you can convert digital music from a CD into MP3 format.

MP3 files can be played in three different ways:

They can be played directly onto your computer.
They can be decompressed and recorded onto a CD.
These files can be played on a portable MP3 player.

The advantage of MP3 players is that they are small, lightweight and rugged. They are a great way to carry your MP3 files with you!

With a portable MP3 player, a personal computer, and the appropriate software, you can do the following:

Obtain free or low-cost music from the web.
Create your own mix of music by downloading MP3 files from the web and converting the tracks from CDs.
Listen to near-CD quality music wherever you go.
Listen to more music (up to 10 hours' worth).

If you want to convert your songs from your CDs into MP3 files, you can use ripper and encoder software. A ripper copies a song's file from the CD onto your hard disk. The encoder compresses the song into the MP3 format. By encoding songs, you can play them on your computer or take them with you on your MP3 player. The ripper and encoder software may come with your MP3 player.

The specific instructions will vary with the individual software programs, but the following steps will definitely take place:

Place the CD from which you want to convert songs into your drive.
Select the track(s) that you want to convert to MP3 format.
Convert the selected track(s).
Copy the new MP3 files on to your computer's hard disk.

Now you are ready to download these MP3 files into your portable MP3 player.

Once you have MP3 files on your computer, you can use the software that came with your MP3 player to download the files into your MP3 player. Again, the specific instructions will vary depending upon your software program and player, but you will:

Create a playlist from your MP3 files.
Plug the player into your computer's parallel of USB port.
Transfer the MP3 files according to the instructions.

Once you have downloaded the MP3 files into your portable MP3 player, you are ready to take your music anywhere. Most MP3 players are small, lightweight, and solid-state. Because most players are solid-state, there are no moving parts to break down or skip, so the sound quality is uninterrupted regardless of your physical activity. MP3 players are equipped with various types of headphones or earpieces.

Portable MP3 players can play music longer than a portable CD player. The length of play for a CD player is about 74 minutes, the length of one CD. However, the length of play for an MP3 player depends upon its memory capacity, which can be upgraded on some models. A standard MP3 player can play for about half an hour (32 MB) to a few weeks (40 GB)! Some models can be upgraded with additional memory devices.
