Music Download
For the longest time I would use Limewire to download my English music and rely on Chinese sites to download well, my Chinese music. Now after many years of switching methods and searching relentlessly, I finally found 2 reliable sources for my music:
MusicZoom is the place I go now for my English songs. You can search 3 different music databases through this site so you are bound to find the song you’re looking for. I used to use Skreemr, but after it failed to find me Natasha Bedingfield’s Pocketful of Sunshine, I’ve converted to MusicZoom. Of course, this site also allows you to listen to the song before downloading it. So for those who are having trouble looking for songs, check this site out. 
For the Chinese people out there, most of you are probably familiar with Baidu. For me, it’s still the most trustworthy site for my Chinese music. Like MusicZoom, it’s a search engine that will search the many Chinese music sites by just typing in the song name. The download is a lot slower and there’s no preview, but it’s never failed me so far.
Of course, there are mp3 rotations (like Rock 54)and fan sites that offer limited selection of music, but usually with higher quality files. The choice is yours.
