Now, you can download three completely free songs a week right to your smartphone!
Getting free music at the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library just got easier and more convenient. The library’s free music service, Freegal, now offers an Apple and Android app!
On your smart phone, go to the Apple App Store or Google Play and search for “Freegal Music.” Download the free Freegal Music app and start listening.
The app is easy to use. Once you install it on your smartphone, enter your zip code to search for a participating library and select “Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library.”
Enter your library card number and PIN, which is usually the last four digits of your telephone number, and that’s it. Search or browse for music, download to your phone, and enjoy!
Browse hundreds of thousands of song titles from the Sony Music catalog and download them to your computer, portable media device, or smartphone. All you need is your Library card!
New songs and artists are added every day and all the music you download is yours to keep! Once the file is downloaded it never expires.
If you don’t have a smartphone, you can access Freegal Music Service through this link or look for the “Music Download (Freegal)” link under Find Stuff on the Library’s Digital Branch.
What artists or songs have you discovered using the Library’s free musics service, Freegal?

Jim, great question.
Currently, the Freegal Music App cannot export files to Itunes or any other software. The app simple downloads, stores, and plays the songs.
Here is the company’s recommendation, “You can download a song again for the purpose of having a copy in your Itunes and in the Freegal Music App.
You can do that within 2 weeks of your original download by accessing your library’s Freegal site via a computer, and accessing the “recent downloads” functionality on the navigation bar of the home page.
I have an Android smartphone, and I did notice that because the song is stored on the phone, other music apps have been able to access it.
The Freegal App is new and the company will be working on improvements.

I have been trying to log onto the Freegal Music Website and they keep saying that my card number is invalid. Is there something else that I need to do?
