Free music downloads...!! (with strings attached..??)
by imacpwr December 4, 2007 8:56 AM PST: And just how are we to download the music? Directly to the cell phone or via a broadband internet connection then up to the device? If we can download it to the computer first then yes, I'd say that's "free" but if the music can only be downloaded directly to the phone from the cell phone provider than no, it's NOT free..!!! Since my cell phone provider charges downloads per kb a song could cost more to download than it would have cost to buy outright in the first place..!!!; Reply to this comment View reply
