Behind The BarriersBringing The Best For You

P2P sharing doesn’t just give you popular and free MP3 music downloads. One of the great things about P2P sharing is that you can get access to some cool and very rare tracks that often don’t make it to the albums and CDs. Even if just a couple of people have it on the network, the sharing feature lets you get your hands on the rare recordings.

Most non-acoustic artists tend to release acoustic albums after the first couple of CDs have been produced. With P2P sharing, though, you won’t have to wait as long. Recordings from live performances, out takes from studio recordings, even mobile phone audio from concerts – all those are fair game on P2P sharing networks. They’re versions that probably wouldn’t even make it to the album – a gold mine if you’re a hardcore fan.

Some of the other hidden gems of P2P sharing are also covers, an artist’s songs performed by another artist. If they’re good enough (like Leona Lewis’ version of Run, which at first was only available on sharing networks), they tend to make it to an album version. However, you can always say that you got it first, all because you download MP3 music for free.

If you’re persistent enough, the P2P file sharing networks are practically a gold mine of rare, obscure and out-of-album music. From mainstream acts to independent garage bands, it’s an audiophile’s dream that’s all ripe and just waiting to be picked – or downloaded, whichever the case might be. And remember, none of it will set you back a cent.
