Download Music, Movies and Games for Free - A Hot Issue

By Benjamin Mclaughlin


Downloading music to your Iphone may be a little easier than you first think- all that's needed is a computer, an Internet connection, and of course an Iphone! For those of you that have already owned Ipods, the procedure is pretty much identical, but for those of you that don't read on to see how it's done.

In order to make sure you don't spend 3 months downloading each movie, there are a few prerequisites-firstly, you'll need a fairly modern computer-it doesn't have to be some big gaming powerhouse, but as long as it's not more than say 5 years old, and of course you will need the fastest internet connection you can find. It is possible to download the MP4s using dial up, but it will literally take you weeks.

If you decide to go the CD route, the first thing to do is decide on the songs you want, and then go about the task of pulling the songs from the CDs and saving them on the computer. This process is known as "ripping". You'll find that most computers built within the last 5 or 6 years will be able to perform this task with no problem, although you may find it easier with a newer model as it may enable you to do all the CDs in one shot, instead of one at a time.

If on the other hand you are tired of all your old music, or you simply don't want to go to the trouble of transferring it across and would rather download it from the internet, this is pretty simple too. At the current time it's not possible to download music directly to the Iphone, it needs to go onto your computer first. It's thought that Apple will fix this with a future software update.

When looking to download music from the internet to use on your Iphone, one of the most important things is the speed of your internet connection. It can take a while to download a song over dial up, generally the faster your connection the better. If you have a slower one, it's still no huge problem, you'll just have to wait longer for your songs.

But all this free downloading has a downside. A lot of people are having computer problems because they downloaded something from the Internet. The Internet is a jungle and there are a lot of predators around that are searching for their prey. Predators like spy ware and ad ware. Little programs that you sometimes download as well and that hide on your computer without you knowing it. Some can be very harmful indeed, like the so called key loggers. These programs "remember" every keystroke you make, and send this info to their "owners". This way sensitive info, like passwords or credit card numbers, can get in the hands of the wrong people
