The internet makes many things and music is free in the middle of them. Several websites offer free downloadable songs, but not all of them are legal. So we have selected the best music websites for you if you’re looking for songs that can be obtained safely and free of charge.

You may also disagree that free tracks are downloaded because you can just watch it. Well, streaming online songs is great, but what are you going to do when your mobile phone or Wi-Fi is down. That’s where you need offline music, and the great part is to be able to take your favourite tracks anywhere you spend money.

Excellent music streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Prime Music, Spotify, etc. also offer fully free trials of songs, which you can try to play and download.

Back to totally free solutions, here is a list of best sources where you can find a host of songs at no cost. However, not all musical tracks on these platforms are free as some of them are only available for free streaming.

Before you check out these music pages, check out our other lists of absolutely free and legal services:

(1) Jamendo

The Jamendo Music songs are provided by a Creative Commons licence, which ensures the tunes on the website can be downloaded safely. All the material on this site is individual songs, so you probably need to go somewhere else or pay for it if you go for mainstream tracks.

Jamendo is ideally suited for musical adventurers as they are continually updated with well-curated playlists and radio stations. Jamendo also offers a rich selection at reasonable rates, if you want to licence music for your video, advertisement or movies.

(2) SoundCloud

SoundCloud is one of the leading music sites that allows you to stream unlimited tracks and to find free songs. In reality, it is also considered the perfect replacement for Spotify where you can get free online songs.

The web contents are uploaded by individual artists and popular musicians with this online music streaming community. You can surf fortunes in the search bar by bands or artists’ tags. SoundCloud was also recently on our list of the finest music streaming services in South Africa.

However, not all SoundCloud tunes are free, and some even require you to like a Facebook page to get a track. But most of them can be downloaded right below the soundtrack by clicking on the Free Download button.

(3) SoundClick

SoundClick is the best place to directly download music from the websites of artists. Several artists show their storeys free of charge on the website. You can also buy approved songs or download them legally free of charge.

You will look at the comprehensive collection of songs there by genre. After registering on the website, you can stream or download it depending on your needs.

Even if this site is a little confusing and the interface is less pleasant, there are some wonderful features such as the development of customised radio stations, socialising on the forum with other listeners, and reading all about your favourite SoundClick musicians.

There’s also a feature which allows you to mail customised e-cards on SoundClick for anyone with subjects like birthday, day of Valentine or a party with a personalised text and background music.
