Where to look for free music videos downloads

Finding music videos that can be downloaded for free is not that difficult. There are hundreds of services out there that will allow you to rip the videos from YouTube and other such video sharing sites. You may need to download additional software, but these are free and legal software.

YouTube

YouTube allows you to listen to a song or musical video. If you like the song and want to download the video, you can now do this from YouTube quite easily. You will need to download additional software, but there are sites that can give you access to these legal and free software sharing programs. Once the music has been downloaded, it can then be transferred to any device such as a phone or MP3 player. There are also available software that allows those who download music to rip the audio from the videos if you just want that option. YouTube sometimes has great quality tracks which are uploaded by the record companies themselves.

Artistc Direct

Artistic Direct is another service similar to YouTube but it has a wider range of content, and is somewhat easier to navigate than other sites. This site has interviews as well as movie trailer videos that are divided into easy-to-understand sections complimented by the search options; again divided into sections such as trailers, artists, etc. To use this service, you don't need to sign up; it is simply a matter of typing in the artist's name and watching the video. You will need to download additional software to rip the videos similar to the process on YouTube. Again, most of this software is very light and this will allow you to rip videos into a variety of formats.

Rhapsody

Rhapsody is the only service reviewed that requires a subscription. You can sign up for both a seven-day or fourteen-day trial, during which you will have access to the complete collection of around 12 million songs. However, you can only use the iPhone or Android application if you sign up for the fourteen-day trial. This information is accurate as of September 2011. There are a few options once you have completed the trial, and these can be designed to fit your personal needs.
