Question

pls i want to download music using windows media player

Answer 1

Are you asking where to find a website that will let Windows Media Player download files? Or are you asking where you can download copyrighted music that will work in WMP?

Because, for the first, Windows Media Player doesn't browse and download. It plays files. Sure, it will download them from the web for streaming, but it won't save a copy for you.

For the second, I'd like to suggest against trying to do that if you live in the US, at least until the RIAA's lawyers get what's coming to them. You do have options for LEGAL free downloading of music, provided you're willing to look into alternative ways of getting music. There is an alternative to what we know as modern copyright called Creative Commons. Creative Commons is a group of licenses that allow distribution and modification of an artist's work outside of the restrictions modern copyright imposes. Usually, Creative Commons content is available for free. (Usually CC content requires that the original artist be credited for their work in any distribution of that work or derivatives thereof--some CC licence variants do not allow modification.) Some musicians and bands have released some or all of their stuff under Creative Commons.

Also, there is the Podshow Music Network at http://music.podshow.com/ -- the PMN exists to fill a need for podcasters (basically internet radio if you've never heard of podcasts) and musicians to network up together. Artists put their music online with the PMN on the understanding that the songs they upload can be played by any member of the PMN for the purposes of sharing the artist's music--this means the artist gets more exposure. This ALSO protects the podcaster by allowing them to play music from an artist they like without having to fear copyright lawsuits, because the artist specifically put that music on the PMN for this. (Music NOT on the PMN, however, is not fair game.)

You must be a registered podcaster to download songs from the Podcast Media Network. Anyone can register and it is free.
