Free Music with GTunes Music

Apps aren’t the only thing floating out there for free.  Now your ears can join in all the free goodness with the GTunes app.  This app allows you to search for any song, album or artist and download directly to your phone for free.  GTunes logs into online music libraries to bring them to your phone.

There was an earlier version of GTunes available on the Android Market for a limited time that allowed the best search and download capabilities.  It was pulled early and replaced by another more watered down edition.  The new GTunes (currently available on the market as of the writing of this post) lets you search for Artists only and then allows the download of only a few of that artists songs, often times live or acoustic versions.  While this can be handy, it’s no where near as powerful as the original.

Worried that the original isn’t available on the market anymore?  Fear not, readers…Hackmondo to the rescue.  From your phone’s browser, click on the link below to download the original, more powerful version directly to your phone!

When you install the app and run it, it will most likely tell you that there’s a new version of the app available.  Don’t bother with the upgrade.  We’re pretty happy with what we have.

GTunes is a very simple and well laid out app overall.  The first tab is the about tab which is what you will use to exit the app when not in use.  To find a particular song, artist or album, click onto the Search tab and type in search box.  Click on the magnifying glass to the right and it will pull up a list of matching search results.  The list is compromised of songs or albums from various sources so you’ll see multiple copies.  You’ll also see some written in foreign languages.  For the most part, it’s best to download the file that has a larger file size since that usually equates to a higher quality audio file.  When you select a song, you have the option of streaming it to make sure it’s the right song.  Once you pick a song and click on download, you can go over to the download tab and see the progress.  Naturally, the stronger your data or wifi signal, the faster the download.

You also have a Library tab to see all your downloaded songs (as well as any other music on your device) and a decent little audio player so you could do everything you need to do from within this one little app.

Now sit back, relax and let the music take you away!  If this worked for you, drop a comment below and let us know what device and version of Android you were running and let us know if you use any other free music apps.
