Auckland Libraries members now have access to millions of music files from the Sony Music catalogue – for free.

The Freegal Music service (an amalgamation of ‘free’ and ‘legal’) allows members of Auckland Libraries to legally download selected music from the Sony Music catalogue. Members can download up to three songs or tunes per week.

Louise Lahatte, Auckland Libraries Manager of Regional Resources says Freegal is an opportunity for people to rediscover music they love, or find something new.

“Freegal is an exciting opportunity for library users to make the most of another great service through their library membership.

“Auckland Libraries has an extensive collection of music books, sheet music and CDs – Freegal takes our music resources to another level and highlights the popularity of digital download services in today’s world,” she says.

Auckland Libraries members can use their library membership details to access the Freegal Music catalogue, via the Auckland Libraries website. All songs downloaded from Freegal Music can be kept for as long as you like and songs are DRM-free MP3s that will work with almost every portable device. They can even be transferred to CD.
