If in the past we struggled to buy DVDs or vinyl records -- although many are still favorites to collect -- now it's easy for us to download legal MP3s. No need to go through illegal sites that make your data security threatened.
Now there are many places to download MP3 which are certainly legal. We have compiled the following free and legal MP3 song download sites and how to download them.
1. Spotify
Spotify is one of the most popular and widely used music streaming platforms today. The platform provides a variety of songs with various genres that can be enjoyed easily. The song can be played online or offline.
To enjoy songs offline on Spotify, make sure you are already a Spotify premium subscriber.
Then select the download quality of the selected songs. Go to the Library, then press the gear-shaped button at the top right.
After that, scroll down until you find the Music Quality section. In the Downloads section, usually the default quality of downloaded music is Normal Quality. To change it, press that button and change it as needed.
Then, also activate the Download using Cellular toggle if you want to download songs using a smartphone internet connection, when not connected to WiFi.
If you have, you can go to Browse to find a playlist of selected songs from Spotify.
Now, if you have found the desired playlist, press the playlist and activate the Download toggle.
You can also select only certain songs and create a new playlist by pressing the button in the shape of three stacked dots to the right of the song, and pressing the Add to Playlist button.
Like downloading a song on a playlist made by Spotify, you also just need to change the Download toggle on your playlist.
