What is Music Downloading?
There are two meanings to this term: Streaming or File downloads. In the case of streaming, this means listening to radio stations or other musical content providers across the Internet. The music is sent in a continuous data stream as it happens (thereby the term “streaming”) and the user listens to it on their PC speakers. Internet Radio companies are typically the primary providers of this type of service. File Downloads: This term refers primarily to the downloading of music files, typically in MP3 format. Anyone downloading music should make sure they are not violating copyright laws. Return to top.
