Free Online Holiday Music

Free online holiday music is pretty easy to find.

Do you have a favorite holiday song that you remember from when you were young and you've searched and searched the CD racks over the years but just can't find that particular song? Well, now that you have the wide world of digital music to find all the old classics and a few new, soon-to-be classics as well. What's so great about listening to holiday music via online radio stations is that they mix it all up for you, so you don't have to do a thing, except hit play.

Just about every online radio station is free and most computers these days have high quality speakers so that the music doesn't sound "tinny" while listening to it. This makes radio stations the perfect way to listen to all your favorite holiday tunes. That and there is nothing to buy, download and burn to disc. Here are a few great online radio stations for you to enjoy during this holiday season:

• AOL Radio – AOL offers all sorts of different types of holiday tunes from classics from Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra to Jazz and pop music.
• Live 365 – This free radio station has a "Seasonal/Holiday" selection of stations from which to choose.
• AccuRadio – Offers a wide selection of holiday music including Jazz, Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Classical and even a little Celtic music.
• Rhapsody – Build your own holiday music playlist for free on Rhapsody.
• All Christmas Internet Radio – All Christmas music, all year long.
• Slacker Radio – Slacker offers all sorts of different genre's of holiday music for free including: Jazz, Country, Hip Hop and even a station titled "Dysfunctional Holdiay."
• 977 Music – A little bit more limited in their holiday music selection than the other stations listed, but still free none the less.

Some websites offer free MP3 and WMV files you can download to your computer and burn to disc. Many of the tunes offered on the following sites are done so by the individual artists themselves and are royalty free, though that can't be guaranteed for all free MP3 and WMV downloads. When in doubt, choose to listen to a free radio station instead or buy the songs if you really want to create your own eclectic mix of new and fun holiday songs, along with a few old favorites.

• The Music Bakery – Listen to a few short demos before deciding which songs you want to download at The Music Bakery.
• Audio Micro – Get all the Christmas classics here.
• www.music.download.com – Get free downloadable MP3's from a playlist that you built yourself or simply choose to stream the music on your computer.
• Feels Like Chirstmas – This site offers more traditional types of Christmas and holiday music.

Sometimes, though pretty rarely, songs played on online radio stations are of poor quality. Listening to music online is such a common thing these days, that it's really rare that you get poor quality sound. If that's the case, it could just be your computer speakers and not the radio stations themselves. If you really want to download free online holiday music, keep in mind that there is going to be a better and wider selection of music at pay sites like Amazon, Napster or iTunes. Plus, you don't have to deal with the messiness of copyright infringement.

So, to answer the question of whether to download or stream, really, you aren't that likely to listen to Christmas music in, say, July, so why not just find a great radio station to listen to free online holiday music and choose to stream? It's simple, it's fast and it's easy. During a busy, bustling season filled with parties, plays, gift giving and receiving, isn't the thought of something being simple and easy a nice thought?
