Then you will need to go all over again to choose, buy, download new songs.
Alternative to this way is to listen music online. Why is better? It offer's you more freedom, you can use this sites to create playlist and easily to update or remove songs, to listen other people playlist or you can listen radios from 100 genres and sub-genres, and most of the sites offer you option to synchronize all of your tech: mobile, tablet, pc…
But on the internet are dozens of websites for free music streaming, and when there are many sites, some are good and some bad. We will try to go through best music sites and give you our review and rank.
Sites for listening music online are very different in their offer. Some are more focus on music genres other on singers or songs, also by type of streaming: music on demand, online radio stations – (Radio stations also varies by genres, singers on most of sites there are more than 10 sub genres to be able to find exact interest)

Rdio is build to be more like a social platform for sharing and listening music, you can follow other users, artists, playlist. Disadvantage is you will need to wait for around 10 second ads from time to time.
spotify.com – Spotify by me is best music streaming site, have huge database of songs, artist, playlist, radio stations. Spotify also has apps for mobile and PC and I think theirs aps are one level better than all other streaming services apps. Spotify also have option to Discover new songs- (they give you suggestions of music which is trending worldwide, locally based on your interest). All of this is in a free account offer, you will have some ADS but they are very rare, almost not noticeable.
pandora.com – Pandora is really good if you are looking for music discovery site. Pandora is intelligent online radio that will play music based on your feedback. Eg. When you enter artist or song Pandora will start to suggest similar songs and artists and if you like or dislike Pandora will becoming better in his suggestions.
