PSA: Free MP3 downloads from DC Public Library

lemonpoundcake

The DC Public Library now lets patrons use a service called "Freegal Music," which lets you download up to three MP3s a week. The MP3s apparently are yours to keep (they don't expire and disappear from your library like the e-books you can check out do) and are compatible with iTunes/iPods. You have to have a DC library card and PIN to log in.

I was browsing today, and the song selection looks pretty decent! Apparently it includes the entire Sony Music catalog, which includes artists like Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, the music from Glee, and a bunch of other mainstream/popular singers.

You can access the service by going to the DC Library --> Books, Movies, Music --> Downloadable Media --> Freegal Music.
