From the glory days of MTV in the 1980s right up to the Internet music era in 2009, passionate fans of top artists have harbored a special attraction to music videos. A few decades ago, producers began to order these mini-films to showcase new talent and to introduce new songs. Video gave a dimension to music that radio could never capture, and for a long time the only place you could see music videos was on TV. Nowadays, however, people download videos easily and legally off the Internet any time they like.
You can get music videos you want for a small fee from iTunes, but nobody needs to pay a lot of money for what used to be free on VH1 and MTV. Since the advent of reality TV, you can't get free music videos from the so-called music channels, but there is no limit to the websites that you can use to link to virtually any music video you would ever want.
The websites for MTV, Yahoo!, and Fuse, to take an example, link you to videos you can watch for free 24 hours a day. Typically you get cost-free access to any video producers want to promote, particularly if the site asks you for ratings or comments. Usually these sites will offer options for different bandwidths and give you additional links to new songs by the featured artist or other artists under the same label.
But your options don't stop there. YouTube posts thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of cool music videos. Once in a while some production company will pull a video from YouTube citing copyright violations. The more savvy labels realize that YouTube is free advertising.
Where you find the link to download a free music video will depend on the artist you want to hear. Often, official band websites will feature free downloads along with b-sides, rare tracks, and new streaming tracks from upcoming releases. You can find hubs where generous bands and new artists list videos for free, but these hubs tend to have fewer major artists and more new artists. And there are ways to download software that allows you record from streaming video, such as YouTube or your favorite artist's site.
Know this: It is 100% possible for you locate and view free music videos from the Internet. Despite ever decreasing exposure on television, hundreds of millions of fans the world around still download the free music videos of their choice. |
