FREE Music Downloads ~ MANY! ~ eBooks Too

Tricia emailed me a list of great resources for free music and eBook downloads.  She was kind enough to have it all formatted and ready to go, so I'll just copy it below.  There are some wonderful freebies, so check them out.  Thanks so much, Tricia!

By the way, her husband has wonderful, free websites that you can use. (He's a former public school music teacher that used to teach a homeschool music class — for free!)

www.MakingMusicFun.net — Check for a full beginner's piano book, sheet music, and games.
www.MakingArtFun.com  —  Printables, lessons, and techniques
www.StorehouseBuilder.com  — Learn how to make money online.

Here's Tricia's list of free music:

• itunes has a couple free downloads every Tuesday – You'll have to download the itunes program, then go to the itunes store and scroll to the bottom of the page where it says, "Free on itunes"

• Amazon always has a big list of free songs.

• If you sign up on www.hearitfirst.com, they'll email you every Tuesday to tell you about new Christian songs and will offer a free download every week.

• If you sign up on www.newreleasetuesday.com, they'll email you every Tuesday to tell you about new Christian songs and they usually offer three free songs every week.

• The new thing I'm really excited about is a program through the library called freegal.  You log in with your library card number and password.  (If you do not have an online password for your library card, you will need to go to your specific library online to register it.)  However, once you have a library card and online password (pin), they will let you download three songs OF YOUR CHOOSING every week! 

• Here is another Christian website that offers a few free downloads every week:  www.freeccm.com  Right now they are also promoting www.grouptune.com where you can get a free 10 song sampler.

Here's the list of free eBooks:

•  www.christianaudio.com has a free audio book download every week

• Also, there is a new library program where you can "check out" digital content such as audio e-books that you can listen to on your computer or ipod/mp3 player.  However you can only keep these downloads for 14 days.  Also, for popular titles, you often have to wait for them to be available by putting them on hold.  They have audio ebooks as well as regular ebooks for this program.  (For the regular ebooks, you can read them on your computer or any digital reading device except Kindle, but Kindle is supposed to be compatible soon.)  Anyway, to checkout library ebooks, go to www.overdrive.com.  You'll need to enter your zip code and find your specific library, but then you can see all of the digital content available to "check out."

• Also, there are tons of free ebook downloads on amazon.
