Downloading Music For Less

MIAMI (CBS4) -- If you love music, you love having it at your fingertips. So how do you find it at a price you can afford? The music industry is leading the way in inexpensive digital delivery.

The selection is good, prices are right and the music you want is available 24/7.

Pandora offers 40 hours of music per month for free. Additional features and unlimited streaming only costs $36 a year.

At Wolfgang's Concert Vault, you get to explore great concerts out of the past for $48 a year but if you can keep yourself under 10 hours per month, it's free.

Daytrotter offers free streaming and free downloads from every artist featured on the site. You pay per song for higher quality downloads and since they are often new artists, they appreciate the dollars.

There's a real score at the Live Music Archive. It's been around for years and has almost 90-thousand live recordings available, all for free.

Of course, there's iTunes, the king of music sites. Selection is great, prices on albums are good and you can pick and choose songs to save yourself from getting unwanted cuts.

One other possibility is to check out your favorite bands website. More and more bands are offering samples and free down loads for fans.
