The most important factor to consider prior to finding a music download site is whether or not your anti-virus software is up to date? Spyware and Adware have become more dangerous than ever as well as the viruses that MP3 files can carry. Once they infect your computer, if you are not protected, the results could be very damaging. It can even put your computer out of commission forever, without the ability to retrieve important files you have saved. With that said, you want to make sure that whatever antivirus software you chose, it protects you. When purchasing or updating an antivirus software program, be sure that it has the ability to block and remove dangerous spyware and virus programs. This is the most important step before downloading any type of music. To assist you in your journey on the perfect MP3 software, we have identified a fantastic music download site that may catch your eye when it comes to the quality of music, speed of the download and the minimum space it will take on your computer. The site below is compatible with all iPod’s and MP3 Players.
MP3DownloadZone allows you to download unlimited music (MP3 Files), movies and games. Unlimited access will cost you approximately $34.95 for a lifetime membership. You can also purchase one year at a time, at $2.49 per month, if you are not sure whether or not you would like to make a lifetime commitment. It is a small fee and allows you to “test the waters� so to speak, in the event you are not satisfied with MP3DownloadZone.
I decided to see what “the hubbub� was about and try the MP3 software site myself. When I signed up, I was able to pay with either my credit card or use PayPal. Like many others, I am always cautious to supply my confidential information to anyone online. I was glad to see that PayPal was an option as I have used them on many occasions and have had a great experience each and every time. When signing up, I was directed to a website called the Clickbank Marketplace. They were the third party that processed payment. I immediately received a payment confirmation, through e-mail, which I was able to print for my records. When I purchased my lifetime membership, I was immediately directed to a webpage that supplied me with my username and password. MP3DownloadZone gave a very detailed explanation on how to download the MP3 software. I was instructed to “right click� on a link and click “save target as.� This process took about 3 minutes to complete. Downloading the program will take about the same time. My computer then walked me through the install process using an installation wizard. After installation, I was able to launch MP3DownloadZone, by going to my Start button and clicking on the icon.
The website was a breeze to use and in seconds I was downloading all my favorite music. I searched for many different types of music, movies, games, etc. I then transferred them to my iPod. It was that simple. The site allows you to search by Title, Artist, etc.
In addition, I was extremely impressed with Customer Service. At first, I noticed that there was no phone number to call, in case I ran into any trouble with my download or had questions on how to use the site. I decided to e-mail Customer Support and test the response time. I figured that 24 hours was sufficient time to get back to me. They returned my answer in less than 12 hours. How’s that for some exceptional customer service?
If my download was not successful, I was prompted with that information. I simply returned to the search tab and double clicked on another source. All the music I downloaded was saved in a library within the program for easy and quick access. I was even able to conduct multiple downloads at the same time.
For those of you concerned about the quality of song, what I like about the website is it will fix any clicks, background noise, echo’s, skipping, etc, not affiliated with the song. So, you get a clean, crisp sound in every download.
If you are not sure of your song, you can listen, while it is downloading, to ensure that the song is exactly what you are looking for.
The website is fairly new and although I did not run into any snags, it may still be working through some minor gliches. I felt the speed and quality of my download was well worth my purchase.
In order to download the program, it does require some knowledge of basic internet and desktop knowledge. Like every music download website, it also takes some knowledge of your Folders List on your hard drive in order to drag your downloaded music from the Shared Folder created by you on MP3DownloadZone to your MP3 Player Folder of choice. I use iTunes, simultaneously with my iPod and find it very easy to drag music I download from my shared folder to the iTunes folder that I created when I initially downloaded iTunes. I can then save my music to my iPod and even backup my music, should anything happen to my computer.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
• As with any MP3 downloading site, be sure that you have an updated version of any virus protection. I use McAfee and am very impressed with my protection. Music files, when downloaded, have a tendacy of carrying damaging components to your computer. If you have a good firewall and detection program that will wipe out worms, Trojans, etc, you will be able to download music freely and happily, without any worry.
• Like any other online website, it is important before your child use the database, that it is reviewed by an adult prior to use.
Overall, MP3DownloadZone is a fantastic website that I highly recommend to those interested in entering the new revolution of MP3. Happy downloading!!!
