Free Music and the iPhone

Downloading free music to your iPhone is likely an idea that has crossed your mind many times. Free music can be found everywhere on the internet, sometimes legal and sometimes not. Your responsibility is to ensure the music you are downloading free is both legal and freely distributed. Downloading free music to your iPhone is a fairly simple process that will require some work to get set up but afterwards will be a breeze.

There are many different ways to download free music to your iPhone. The most common method is to download it on to your computer, convert it and then transfer it to your iPhone. Another popular method is using torrent services on the iPhone to download free music.

Using a P2P file sharing network which has a client developed for the iPhone will enable you to connect to a wealth of content and download free music to your iPhone. This music that is downloaded free to the iPhone can then be played back directly on the iPhone without the need to connect the iPhone to the computer to convert the music nor import it into the iTunes library.
