Did you know that you can get FREE music downloads through the library?
Freegal (free +legal) Music is a free music service provided to you by Sarasota County Libraries. Freegal offers access to 13 million songs and over 40,000 music videos. Freegal’s collection includes music from over 100 countries, legendary artists, trending hits and labels and Sony’s Music catalog. You can browse music by artist, genre, video, top singles, top artists and more. You will be able to download 5 songs per week for free. They will be yours to keep, transfer, burn to CD, etc. Music videos are also available for download, but one video will count as 2 of your 5 download credits.
