Hi Ladies!
My daughter is going to be 6 in August. She wants an MP3 Player. I got her one for her birthday but wanted to load it with some music she likes so when she opens it at her party she can play the music. I dont have a lot of money to spend on songs on iTunes for $1 piece. Anyone know of where you can down load free kids music or does anyone on here have a huge music library that I could provide the CD's and I would pay you for your time to burn some CD's that I could load onto my daughter MP3 player? She likes all the popular stuff on the radio right now and also things like Selena Gomez from Disney Channel.
Can anyone help me out on this or give me any advice. I hate to sound cheap but man the MP3 player was $60 plus her party!
Thanks for your input!

Thanks Ladies. I do not believe that borrowing a CD from the library or a friend is stealing. I agree that it takes hard work for someone to put out a CD but I disagree that an artist has to be paid millions of dollars a year for 1 album. I'm sure I do more work then them in 1 year making $30k. So, that's a joke in my eyes. If the library has a CD and I upload it in my itunes that's not stealing in my eyes, it was paid for by someone at some point & we are sharing. I'm a photographer & if my photograph made it big I would be naive to think that it wasnt being reproduced and I not being paid for it every time someone uses it for their enjoyment. That would be like saying that they could only look at it or else it would be considered stealing.
Thanks for your responses, I appreciate it all & will check out the library too.
Download the songs from You Tube. You can find a YouTube down loader on Firefox as an attachment. Hope this helps and by the way it is totally free.
I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here, but I do not take CDs from the library and put them on my MP3 player. I do not borrow CDs from my friends and make copies. It's considered stealing. The music industry has made that clear. We are all musicians in our family, and we know the value of putting hard work into making a song, getting and album together and trying to sell it. I would not want anyone stealing music from us, so we do not steal from others.
Your daughter is only 6, but even at that age she should learn the value of getting things, even if it is music.
Load whatever music you already purchased onto the MP3 player from CD. Why not tell friends and relatives to get iTunes gift cards for her birthday? My daughter got an iTouch for her birthday and she received lots of iTunes gift cards for her birthday. Then from those she chose the songs she wanted. Not only did she have fun picking everything out but she learned that music has to be purchased and she must earn or receive as a gift everything she puts on there.
I don't see anything wrong with putting just a few songs on there. She'll be excited about whatever else is put on there later.
Please set a good example here. Making copies of CDs you didn't buy is stealing.
Hit the library. I never pay for kids music...they have a HUGE selection!
Your local library might have cd's of childrens music that you can put on her player.
Check your local library's music selection! =o)
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but if you can load CD's into your own computer, you can download them into iTunes yourself. From there, you simply upload them into the iPod. I'm no techie, but I do this all the time with my own CD library.
I'd also like to suggest that many popular songs for adults are enjoyable for kids as well. My grandson, age 5.5, listens to a huge cross-section of adult music going back to the 70's. He loves the variety. We do, of course, audit the lyrics first to make sure they're clean. There are some wonderful kids' songs out there, but not much range.
my kids like listening to Books on CD's too. If you have any of those on cd you could upload as well.
mp3raid.com, it's a file sharing music site. I've never had problems with it. Quite a bit of ads but that's about the only con.
I found Free Celtic Music online for my daughter. Google Free celtic music or free celtic folk songs. I don't remember the exact website I downloaded some songs for her but there are some upbeat fun ones. They are free because they are advertisements for albums so you aren't infringing on Copyright. There may be other genre's that do this too. Upside is they songs don't all sound the same (duple tempo in a major key) Maybe your daughter can now ask for ITunes gift cards for other ocassions.
