Legalsounds: One Stop Shop

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop for your cheap music needs, look no further than Legal Sounds. At nine cents a track, iTunes doesn’t stand a chance. In comparison to its competitors, like mp3Panda where tracks are fifteen cents each, Legal Sounds stands out. Don’t let the cheap price fool you. The quality is superb. There are other similar music providers, and in the past, I had used both mp3Panda and Legal Sounds because initially their tracks were cheaper. However, since their prices have increased to fifteen cents a track, I have switched to solely using Legal Sounds. This has cut down my music costs substantially. Also, Legal Sounds allows you to re-download files if you’ve lost them, whereas at mp3Panda, you only have a window of time to download songs. Also, Mp3Panda only has registrations open for short periods of time to new users.

I use iheartradio and Pandora to discover new songs. When I stumble on a song or artist that I’m interested in, I jot it down on a Post-It Note and stick it on my computer monitor. For example, iheartradio just played “On the Brightside” by Never Shout Never, which I’d never heard before. I just wrote it down on a note that already has twelve or so other songs I’ve jotted down. Once I find the time, I plan to download the songs on Legal Sounds. I can download all the songs for around the same price as one-song costs at iTunes. I can also choose to buy just one track or the entire album, which beats buying traditional CD’s where you are forced to buy the entire album.

Another awesome aspect of Legal Sounds is the bonus program they offer when you choose to replenish your funds. If you add $49, which will last you a very long time in my opinion, you receive $10 for free. If you add $99, you get a $99 bonus. And if you add $199, you receive $199 for free. At mp3Panda, you only receive a $5 bonus when you add $49 and only $15 when you add $99. There is absolutely no comparison to the deals that Legal Sounds offer. Legal Sounds also offers a referral bonus program. If you refer a friend and they use the link you send them to sign up, you will receive a $9 bonus.

Overall, I have been extremely happy with my experience with Legal Sounds. Never once have I gotten a virus from any of the files, which isn’t necessarily the case with most music downloaders. Legal Sounds also has the latest hit songs, and I know that if I hear something on the radio, I can just about bet that it’s already going to be available on Legal Sounds. To keep consistent with our mp3Panda comparison, I’ve noticed that it takes a while for new songs to be added to mp3Panda. If, for some reason, a song isn’t available yet on Legal Sounds, you can request it here.
