4 edits | Not worried, no ISP required, all the free mp3s I could want Someone mentioned alternatives so I thought I would share mine. I simply record songs in high bitrate mp3 format from the digital signal that radio stations are broadcasting over-the-air now : HD Radio to be exact. Its all automatic so I can record every single song a station plays through the entire day or week if I want. Each song is saved individually with its artist and title info intact, since the HD Radio stations broadcast this data along with the song. I have found that it has actually extended my interest into music I would have overlooked otherwise. I have hundreds of thousands of songs in my collection now thanks to this system.
But the important aspects are that it is completely legal to do this, just as it is quite legal to record FM radio with a cassette recorder or mp3 player, the recording quality puts anything you can buy online from outlets like iTunes to shame, and its all DRM free. |
