Secure your information
The personal information you provide to join any site reviewed by FreeMusicReviews.com, including your credit-card number, should be protected by encryption, so it cannot be read as it is transmitted over the Internet. The encrypted data are transmitted using a secure socket layer (SSL) connection (a Netscape browser standard, adopted by Microsoft for their Internet Explorer and by some other browsers).
Look for one or more of these "secure connection" indicators on your browser:
A security alert window tells you that you are about to use a secure connection. Some browsers let you choose whether to display this window.
An SSL icon shows when you're in a secure connection:
A symbol of an open padlock changes to a closed padlock when you're in a secure connection.
A symbol of a "broken key" icon is replaced by an unbroken key.
A blue line runs across the top of the content window.
The web site's address changes to one that begins with "https" (check for the "s").
The encrypted data go to a secure site, where your information is stored on a private computer that is not directly accessible via the Internet. At the secure site, your credit-card number is validated and your membership information is kept in restricted-access files. More information about our policies for protecting your personal data can be found in the FreeMusicReviews.com Privacy Policy.

2006 yielded some great sites, but MyMusicInc tops our charts. This site offers a huge selection of music,
games
,
software
, & more. I found the latest artists, and my "hard to find" favorites. Overall i was very satisfied with my experience, with download speeds on a 28k dialup being my only complaint. MyMusicInc has resolved this allowing us to recommend it as our "Top Pick of 2006".
Free-Music-Downloads is one of the most popular music download sites on the web.
We found their service to be similar to that of MyMusicInc, but do to high traffic, email customer service response time took up to 2 hours. Part of its popularity is due to its above average selection of game
downloads
. If you are an avid gamer, tour this website first.
EZMP3's provides just what it claims... "Over 12 Million Songs". In addition to millions of mp3 songs, I was pleasantly surprised by the number, and quality of
movie
downloads. There were so many files to choose from, it was difficult to distinguish movie files from music files. EZMP3's allows you to search for multiple files & formats simultaneously, which may have complicated my search.
AllCoolMusic puts the BLING in downloading. They use a state-of-the-art client that provides enhanced sound quality which is superior to its competition. This website uses Flash technology which slightly slows the page loading speed, but once you become a member this is no longer a problem. This site is a favorite among user who enjoy pop, hip hop, r&b, or rock music.
Good!
