Where to Download Music Videos

Downloading music videos is generally available on all the MP3 downloading sites, from iTunes to Kazaa. If you’re downloading to your computer, you will need to have RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, or some other video software. Remember, when you’re downloading from peer-to-peer sites like Kazaa, you are downloading videos from strangers – careful out there.

Artist homepages often have music videos available for viewing – just Google the artist of your choosing. These videos will most often be in the form of streaming video, meaning you can go back and watch them as often as you like, but you can’t save them to your computer.

Other Places to Download Music Videos

MTV.com

MTV has an online database of thousands of music videos, so all you need to do is search and watch. They have suggested playlists you can choose, if you’re wondering what’s new, or you can build your own list. This is streaming music video – you won’t be saving these clips to your computer.

ARTISTdirect

ARTISTdirect has thousands of music videos for you to download as well – all for free. Again, you’ll be watching streaming videos, and be prepared for the pop-up price of free videos. ARTISTidrect is actually a network of music-related sites, where you can check out a video, head to one of their online shops to buy a few cds, and then go to a chat room to talk about it.

Yahoo Music

Yahoo Music claims to have the largest selection of music videos on the Internet. This site is a combination of free and pay-to-play videos, and either way, you will need to create an online account with them. In addition to videos, they offer exclusive live performances, interview clips, and they have a wealth of artist bio information.

Fuse TV

Fuse TV, like MTV, offers an extensive selection of music videos to view on their website, along with artist interviews and webcasts of their television shows. You can also download shows and videos directly to your iPod.

Things To Keep In Mind

The sites above are just a few examples of places to start your music video search online, but music videos are becoming as common as MP3 downloads, so your choices are expanding every day. Remember to use caution when downloading videos using peer-to-peer networks. Sometimes the video you get might not quite be the video you have in mind. Also, remember to check the technical requirements of streaming videos and make sure you have the software required for viewing . Generally, they will provide you with a way to download whatever you might be missing from a link on their page.
