The new generation music is much influenced by the MP3 revolution that has revolutionized the whole music industry. It has provided the consumer with easy access to variety of music barring all factors such as place and time. Now portable mp3 players have even made it possible for the consumer to carry the kind of music anywhere and listen anytime as per his desire.

In the earlier times it happened that consumer was restricted to music records and cassettes to listen music. Sometimes if any one song used to be a melodious one that he wanted to listen to he had no option rather than to buy the whole album. This was just a waste of money but now consumer is open to much wider option with different free mp3 download song available on the Internet. It generally comes to our mind as why mp3 and how can we get these free song downloads? Mp3 is a digitally encoded audio that is compressed so that the entire data is made smaller without any change in the quality of sound and music. Most of the times the sound quality of an mp3 and that of an original CD is distinguished much.

Thus the popularity of mp3 music has inevitably shown several music websites providing the consumer lots of down-loadable material. MP3 music has become so popular that many new music recording artists are making their collection available in the form of mp3 music through different websites thereby giving the consumer a chance to listen the kind of music they would otherwise have been able to. Many sites offer quality mp3 song downloads by charging one time minimal amount.

In spite of all the benefits free mp3 player song downloads have also become a threat for the music industry because many programs allows mp3 file transfer from one computer to another by cutting down the royalty for the artist and album as a overall cost reduction for the music album. This aroused a fear among the music recording artists of losing lots of money from consumer who can easily download the music instead of buying it due to which they tried to make mp3 music illegal.
