How to download safely for your mp3 player
So you have your mp3 player, whether it be the Microsoft Zune or Apple iPod or whatever else you chose so now how do you get music and what not on there? There are a few ways of doing this: One time fee, pay per song, and peer-to-peer. But first lets take a look at what you should look for.
There are a few things to look for when looking for a way to download things onto your mp3 player. You are going to want to make sure your safe from the government. With things becoming ever so strict you have to be careful so you don't get a HUGE fine. Make sure you can take advantage of all your mp3 player can handle such as music, movies, games and what not. You want to make sure they update their lists constantly so you can get the latest hits. Lastly, you want to make sure its FAST. Speed at least to me is key because I can download more files in a short period of time. Now that you know what to look for, lets take a look at the different options you have.
One time fee is probably the best way of downloading things for your mp3 player. How they work is you pay a one-time fee and you get access to their massive compilation of stuff. They normally have access to unlimited downloads for free for life which is great. This option has all of the things you look for when looking for a downloading program and then some. Some programs also include some extra free stuff.
Then there is the ever so famous pay per song sites. Both Zune and Apple have their own pay per song programs, which are great, but over the course of time you will end up paying a LOT! Sure it has all the things your looking for in a downloading program, but the amount of money you will pay will be enormous if you look at the grand scheme of things. So this option to me... is a no.
Then there is the free way. Sure at first I used this option, until they started cracking down at my school... I got scared... and immediately deleted my peer-to-peer program and downloaded a one-time fee program. This option is not only vulnerable to getting caught by the government, but many files are corrupted with viruses... NOT COOL. So enough about this option... don't do it.
All right so now you know you should go for a one-time fee program but are lost as to which one to choose. Conveniently I have a blog reviewing my favorite program. Lastly, I ask that you be careful and do your research... and download away!
