Music on the go: Where to download and access music online free and legal



Music on the go!



For most of us, music performs a major role in our lives. It’s not just to entertain us which seems to be the primary purpose of music. It also helps to calm, soothe, console, inspire and so much more.

Music has also been known to be used as a propaganda tool and as such has been used for both negative and positive campaigns.

For me as a person, music helps to relax and also inspire me: you can call music my muse. When I am working on a project and I need inspiration, music comes in very handy, and I am sure it functions just as effective for most people. I listen to music all the time especially when I am on the go or in transit.

This article is not an article about the various genres of music or about music producers, but it is inspired by a major question I have been asked by people who want a reliable source to get music especially on the go.

As you know, our devices don’t come with music pre-loaded. Where and how do we get music into our devices so we can listen to them while we work, while we workout and while we are in the plane or in a vehicle moving from point A to B?

First off, I like to say that we encourage you to pay for music so we can encourage the artiste and make them continue to churn out more great work. There are many streaming platforms where you could access these at a price such as Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and so on. That being said the following are places you could also access music for free and legally too. There are;

SoundCloud: SoundCloud




Not every song on SoundCloud is free but there is a big selection of many songs that you could get on a platter.

ReverbNation: ReverbNation



Artiste share their songs here with their fans for free so you can access it too.
You can sign up as a fan or an artiste to gain access to the large array of content available in their library. 

Audiomack: Audiomack




This is fast becoming a fan favourite especially for iPhone users as it enables people to stream and download music for free.


And for some Nigerian first sources

TooXclusive: TooXclusive


One of the leading source of music for Nigerian artiste and fans

36ng.ng: 36ng

TalkGlitz: TalkGlitz

For gospel music lovers, you can access contents here:

KingdomBoiz

Busysinging

GospelHotspot

GMusicplus

The above mentioned sites and apps give you access to tons and tons of free premium music content mostly at no cost.

You can also Search your preferred songs adding the .mp3 extension in your search query and a list of other sources for free music will be displayed. You can try any but the above mentioned are proven sources.

Searching With a Picture

Searching with images instead of words Sometimes I wonder how earthlings managed to get information before the discovery of the internet and Google’s search engine sometime in 1997. Search engines have revolutionized the way by which we get access to information by making it very easy to scan the internet and get whatever information you need. With the right keywords or search queries, you can get information regarding any topic on this planet or even out of this planet. It has been said, that people learn new skills just from ‘ Googling ’ stuff from the comfort of their devices, from learning about every topic possible ranging from cooking to repairing our devices. Even things as complicated as building a house can be learned by using search engines and as such, I usually say “ With Google, you don’t have any excuse to be stupid .” Have you ever wished you could discover where a certain image originated from, or wished you could find out other information abo...

YOUR BUDGET How much are you willing to (I'll prefer splurge on your next phone) spend to get your next phone? Phones can cost from 20k to as much as 500k.

image courtesy WhatsApp So Facebook Inc finally decided to get on the dark train and rolled out dark mode for WhatsApp. Remember that most other apps including Instagram were already introduced to dark mode which has become very popular among users so it was no surprise that users quickly switched to the dark mode on WhatsApp once it was introduced early March after beta testing on both android and iOS. “It’s designed to reduce eye strain in low light environments. And we hope it helps prevent  those awkward moments where your phone lights up the room.”   WhatsApp said on their blog If you are crazy about dark mode like I am and you want all your apps to be on dark mode including WhatsApp then here’s how you can switch to dark mode ASAP.
