If you want to download Hindi songs from the Internet… well, there are plenty of options that you have in order to get the songs that you would like. Almost every Hindi song, whether created in analog or digital, is available on the World Wide Web at the mercy of a search engine. There’s Google (the most popular one), Yahoo, Dogpile that will throw up results which will help you to get old and new Hindi songs in the most common audio format… the mp3 format! It’s as simple as entering the name of the song, and hitting the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard. Here are two thoughts when it comes to copyright violation and viruses: Firstly, if there is a copyright violation then the audio file will be removed from the location but if it is downloadable then you should go for it! Secondly, unless you don’t have an anti-virus on your system, then you shouldn’t be on the Web in the first place anyways. There are no viruses in most case, but if you by chance manage to download one, your system’s anti-virus software should be able to take care of it. Not only will you find singles but also entire albums that can be download entirely as a ZIP file on to your desktop. Apart from downloading music directly from the Web, there are Peer-2-Peer sites that you can use such as LimeWire, Kazaa and Blubster. All you have to do is download the client from these sites and add it as a Trusted Site in your Firewall settings. You’ll also have to dedicate folder space for complete and partial downloads. The only disadvantage that you face is that you’ll have to share and allow these songs to be downloaded by other users on the P2P sites mentioned above. But even though the second choice is the popular one, there are viruses that can be downloaded by mistake. If you have a good broadband connection, you can download songs and videos of these songs from sites like Youtube. If you leave it to download for a minute or so should be enough before you can enjoy the song. And you can get pretty much any Hindi song that you want, the popular ones and even the not-so-popular ones as well. Here’s an example of a song from CID, a hindi movie made in 1956 starring the “evergreen hero”, Dev Anand: A big advantage of using this method is that you don’t need to use your computer’s space to store the file, as it is already stored on the server of the site. Your computer will download into cached space which can played once it’s complete and deleted immediately by going into Internet Option in Internet Explorer. On Firefox, you have to select ‘Tools’ and then ‘Clear Recent History’, and hey presto… your space is cleared completely. So, these are the methods that one can use to download Hindi songs of your choice! And by the way, have fun while you’re at it… there’s nothing to worry about!
