It is perhaps almost impossible to imagine people who are absolutely indifferent to music. And if in Western countries tracks are paid, then in Russia, due to the distinctive features of our mentality, many people use music files completely free of charge; fortunately, there are quite a lot of methods for doing this.
Even if you don’t know exactly how you can download music to your computer, this is not a problem at all. It's very simple and you don't have to pay anything. You just need to follow a series of instructions, thanks to which you can download music, for example, to your computer.
There are several basic methods for downloading music from the Internet. You can use them all at once, or you can choose one that is most suitable. So, let's take a closer look at how you can download, buy, or listen to music of various genres online.
We use search engines
The most standard method of downloading music from the Internet. When using search engines such as Google or Yandex, you can find the most suitable sites where you can. You just need to clearly define the title of the song and the name of the artist, and then write the corresponding query in the search bar. Sometimes such precise information may not be needed, since the required song can be found by writing a piece of the song's lyrics. Of course, it is far from a fact that the link to the desired song will be on the very first site, but after some time you can find what you need without any problems.
Quite often, various official websites of musicians offer to download songs completely free of charge. At the same time, everyone can support the performers by purchasing their licensed discs at very reasonable prices.

We use torrent trackers
Torrent trackers, namely sites where people exchange various files, including music. So if you know how to use torrents, this option will be the most optimal. But do not forget that any music has its own author, and, if possible, it is worth supporting musicians and purchasing licensed albums or discs in online stores such as Google Play or iTunes.
We use other devices
If you don’t have a constant stable connection to the Internet, low speed or limited traffic, the best option would be to download music to your computer from other devices. So, for example, if you have music on your phone, you can easily transfer it to your computer; alternatively, you can also ask friends or acquaintances for a disk with music. You can buy a blank CD and ask friends to fill it with music. This way you can collect a solid collection of discs with your favorite songs, without having to waste time and effort on downloading. In fact, this option is a kind of classic, because previously it was the only one they used. This was due to limited traffic or too low Internet speed.
How to Download Music to iPhone from Computer Using iTools
There is a wonderful alternative to iTunes that allows you to download music to your iPhone from your computer as quickly as possible without synchronizing them, it’s called iTools ().
iTools is a universal file manager that allows you to download/upload content (music or video) to/from iPhone from/to a computer running Windows or Mac OS X.
Among other things, this manager allows you to transfer music from your iPhone to your computer and back, and the audio files will be available directly in the native iOS Music application.
It does not have the functionality of iTunes in organizing a music collection, but many do not need this, because metadata can be registered directly in the operating system environment.
- Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable and launch iTools.
- Go to the Music menu and click the Import button.
- Select the required files and click Open.
- Done, the selected files will be downloaded to the device’s memory and you can listen to them in the Music application.
Please note that if you download the same file through iTunes (as described above) and through iTools, you will have 2 identical files in the Music app on your iPhone.
Benefits of downloading music through iTools:
- distributed completely free of charge;
- content is downloaded without synchronization, and this is a huge time saving (a large collection and a lot of software increases the time of synchronizing the device with iTunes exponentially);
- downloaded content is available in the Music application (as when syncing an iPhone with iTunes);
- works with devices without jailbreak;
- high download speed.
Disadvantages of iTools:
- there is no support for the Russian language (it is not needed to download music);
- does not allow editing ID3 signatures (take care of this in advance);
- If you download the same file through iTunes and iTools, there will be duplicates in the Music app.
The third and final method for downloading music content into the memory of an iOS gadget allows you to download it from the Internet directly from your iPhone.
