Surprisingly enough, there is a large  variety of free iPod music available for download. If you are getting  bored with your current music selection but don't have the cash to  buy songs at 99 cents each, you're in luck. Free music downloads are  actually pretty easy to find – just make sure the service provider  you choose has the legal right to distribute free iPod music.

Reason being the RIAA will hunt down  anyone who tries to rip off an artist by sharing music completely  free. You want to at least check to see if the provider you choose  for your free iPod music does in fact pay the artist and possesses  the legal license to distribute the music.

Generally speaking, sites which provide  free music downloads for iPods do so through some kind of sponsorship  or partnership deal. In the end the artist gets paid, but you get  free iPod music without a significant hassle. Even better, you get to  have the latest and greatest music without paying one red penny for  it.

So make sure you look around on a site  promising free iPod music before downloading your favorite songs –  and prepare to be amazed by the selection now available as free music  downloads for iPods. Oh and one last tip, it's always a good idea to  keep a screen shot of any portion of the site which claims to have  rights to distribute free iPod music, just in case.
