Where to Find and How to Download Music to a CD?

Audio CD is a long standing approach to store music tracks. Even now many people still cling to create physical backup of song files in the format of compact disc and create music CDs with a collection of favorite songs for listening. For these purposes, a good CD burner is essential, and if you are still in the phase of finding good free music to burn on CD, the following 3 websites may lead you to satisfied results.

1. Internet Archive's Live Music Archive

The Internet Archive is a huge digital library covering all collections of digitized materials including music. Live Music Archive is a well-known part of the Internet Archive and it has millions of free music tracks of varied brands and artists in different formats. You can take advantage of its defined classification navigation bar to seek for needed music files. There is no registration requirement for free music download on Live Music Archive.

2. SoundCloud

As one of the largest music distribution and sharing websites in the world, SoundCloud is a good place to find all types of songs you want. To seek for free music, the quickest way is to type related keywords in its Search bar and if a song is downloadable, a download button will appear below. Meanwhile, you need to sign in to download music on SoundCloud. The amount of free songs on SoundCloud is limited yet it’s a big chance to find a real gem there.

3. Last.fm

Last.fm is another mainstream music website providing an easy access to all trendy and latest songs, artists, event and featured news on music. The best part for users who are looking for free music downloads is Last.fm has a section dedicated to displaying all free music on the websites>> What Music Can I Download for Free. You don’t have to trust to chance as you do on other music websites.  

Moreover, Jamendo, SoundClick, Noise Trade, Amazon Music and some other popular music websites you have most likely heard about, also have free music that can be downloaded legally and used for your any purpose. However, due to the lack of navigation and numbered free tracks, finding out a desired song on these websites can be hit and miss. On balance the recommended three websites are relatively good places to go.

Once you have prepared music tracks, it’s time to get a CD burner to finalize the process. We have compiled a list of options>> Top 6 Free CD Burners for Various Operating Systems.
