Pinellas library has free music downloads

Posted Jul 7, 2011 by Janine Dorsey

Updated Jul 7, 2011 at 12:14 PM

The Pinellas Library system is expanding its digital offerings to include free music downloads. 

Freegal is a new free music download service from the Clearwater Public Library System with music from the Sony Music Catalog.

This service is available to all Pinellas County Library Cooperative card holders.

Card holders will need a password to use the service.

Freegal allows access to music in the Sony catalog, which may be downloaded to a home computer, laptop, or Internet-equipped MP3 device.

The music may also be moved from a personal computer into an external MP3 device.

Card holders may download up to three songs a week, starting on Mondays. 

Once card holders download a song, it will be theirs to keep.

Pinellas County residents can click here to get started.

For more information, call (727) 562-4970.

If books are your thing, there are many eBook and audio book titles available to “check out” digitally from the Pinellas Library website.

These, too, are free.

Only six eBook or audio book titles can be checked out at a time, but unlike the Freegal music files, at the end of the lending period, the book will disappear from your personal digital device.

Lending periods vary by book.

Checked-out book titles cannot be renewed if they expire before you finish them, but they can be checked out again immediately if no one has reserved them.

The library site supports many different digital devices and readers.
