Most of us loves music.  We listen to different types of music, from rock to ballad to pop to reggae and even to world music and more.  Sometimes, we just wanted to listen to the music like all ballads for example or just simply listening to different types of music from around the world.  But sometimes in buying a CD, there are songs that we really don’t like that we wish there could be a mixture of the music that we truly want to hear not only in one artist but different artists compiled in one.  This can already be possible now a days because of those mp3 download sites.  Listening to music online.  This is now the best alternative for music lovers whom wanted to listen to variety of music, not only limited to one artist or to one genre.  But there are threats too in listening to music online because it is just like stealing ones work from the artist.  The ones affected on this most are not only the artists themselves but the producers.  As they say, it is like killing the music industry because of these down loadable tunes on the net.  These online music violates the copyrighted materials and that what artists has been fighting for.  But because of the increasing demand of these down loadable tunes on the net, music icons or artists most specially the record companies and producers are also doing some things to protect the music industry like those down loadable tunes that cost an amount of money for every download.  And for some websites that offer these music, they charge a subscription fee for it like monthly.  As the saying goes, if you can’t beat them then join them and that is what most musical artists are doing now to save the industry and this is just one of the best and simplest form of advertising to promote their music on line.
