As the Internet has expanded to a world that specializes in distributing media, different avenues have emerged for uploading and downloading music. Among the easiest ways of downloading songs, albums and audio files is by copying and pasting, clicking links and saving files to your computer. Music uploading sites have allowed creators of music to share music with others by offering URL links to the songs. These links can be copied and pasted for direct access to a download link.

Search the websites of your favorite artists, fan pages and music websites for song downloads. You will often see the name of a artist and song, followed by a URL link. Popular sites include RapidShare, Megaupload, Hotfile, MediaFire, Sendspace, FileFactory, Supload and Speedy Share.
