Looking for your favourite Nigerian song to download off the web? Well, it's time you avoid having to download them from file sharing sites for free as there is a better way to get them - Get The from iTunes.
It's one thing to download a song for free from other sites and another to get it from iTunes for a small fee. iTunes is one place where you can actually get them in high quality mp3 format. From my experience, getting your songs from iTunes even beats getting it from local CDs being sold in the streets.
I initially wrote a post on downloading Nigerian songs online from the Amazon digital music store but one thing that makes iTunes better than Amazon is that the former actually accepts payments from Nigeria by means of Nigeria bank issued Visa or Mastercard. So, even if your card comes with a Nigerian billing address and you are also using a Nigerian IP address, you will be able to buy the songs on iTunes as a Nigerian resident.
Benefits of buying songs on iTunes from Nigeria
=====
- No IP blocking: Unlike some other digital music retail sites, iTunes doesn't block visitors from Nigeria who wish to buy MP3 music from their store. One just needs to simply download iTunes platform for free and the be able to purchase any music he wants.
- iTunes accepts Nigerian issued cards: Yes, they don't block Nigerians from buying digital content online and this includes music, music videos and apps. You can get all those great digital content from Apple's iTune store and pay with your Visa or Mastercard.
- High quality MP3 songs: You may be able to download some Nigerian songs from a number of websites or music blogs for free but what separates them from iTunes is that iTunes has the best quality MP3 files you can get. This is because you are getting it from the source and not from a file sharing site. Digital music obtained from iTunes is straight from the copyright owners and so it's always in high quality format.
- It's better than CD: Digital music is better than CD. You may buy a CD for just N200 from the streets of Lagos but it's a low quality CD that may only have a lifespan of just a year before it crashes. With Digital music you've purchased from iTunes, you own it for quite a long time since you can always download it from the cloud and can also store it in digital format for a much longer time than CD. You can store it in flash drives, transfer it to your memory card, burn your own CD and so on.
- It helps to encourage musicians: When you buy songs on iTunes, it helps to encourage the artistes to keep up the good work and it helps keep the music industry profitable. If their songs were sold mostly by pirates in CDs and the black market, they don't make the money since they don't get paid any royalty. That's why many of them prefer selling it on sites like iTunes.
