Whether you’re looking for Mozart and Bach or a more recent composer, you’ll find it all on these sites. This is their long-term goal in providing these downloads: One thing we don’t like is that none of the music is actually housed on Classic Cat. You’re taken to other websites to download the tracks. Every download, therefore, has a slightly different process to it. This also increases the likelihood that you’ll run into broken download links, though they say that they regularly check links to avoid that, so that’s great. It’s easy to find free classical music downloads from any composer. You can also browse by time period, mood, length, rating, or instrument. If you want to explore new music, check out the online radio that pulls up random music for you to stream. Streaming directly from the site is available for everyone, but a free user account is required for downloads. These free classical music downloads are spread across over 170 pages, but you can sort the list by artist name, track, album, and genre, as well as by date added and “Most Interesting.” To listen to something, use the play button next to the song. To download the MP3, select the download button to the right. At Free Music Archive, you can download classical music without a user account, but if you want to make one, you can add songs to a playlist and play them directly from the browser. But even without an account, all songs are streamable before you download them. The only downside to using this site is that it’s hard to know where to start your search. There are countless collections that include classical music, but here are a few ideas:
A general “classical music” search 1000 Years of Classical Music 100 Classical Music Masterpieces
The music is organized in a table by composer name. Either scroll through the pages or sort by the name or year the piece was added to the list. The bottom of each letter page is where you can access other downloads. This classical music can be streamed from the page or downloaded to your device, usually as an MP3 or OGG file.
