If all the recent talk of DRM-free MP3 downloads is of interest you might want to check out a website that offers the same with a number of distinct advantages.

EasyMP3Downloader is a small application that installs on your PC and allows you to peruse a database of over a hundred million tracks by searching public audio and video websites and downloading content direct to your hard drive.

The songs are DRM-free so can be copied and burnt to your heart's content and while there's a subscription fee involved it's quite negligible and during this time you can grab as much as you want.

The service claims to be '100% legal' (where have we heard that before?), is amazingly fast and easy to use and collates a massive range of songs from just about every established artist out there.

The catch? Well aside from the fact that we have a sneaking suspicion that it may attract some RealDVD-style attention from angry industry reps, you'll often find incomplete ID3-tag information and most importantly all of the audio seems to be in 64kbps format.

This may put some people off altogether, but with subscription prices going as low as $1.66 per month, (you can also opt for a lifetime subscription for just $49.95 or six months for a tenner) it's certainly cheap enough to give it a go. - Paul Lester
