Do you reminisce about the uninhibited days of free* music downloads? Do you dabble in everything from pop hits to obscure masterpieces? Do you want to stream for hours, create your own playlists, and discover new music for free, anytime, without committing copyright infringement?

^{(*In all honesty, back in the Napster & Kazaa days of the ’90s & early 2000s, we were stealing, and while we had a bit of fun, maybe we deserved some of those bugs that ended up on our computers.)}

With Freegal Music, you can have it all. Create an account with your library card and you can stream favorite songs and new discoveries right to your computer or mobile device. You can also download up to five songs per week, to keep, for free!

Search by artist, song or album titles, genres, even record labels. Look for surprises such as recorded live shows, classic and underground album reissues, and more. You can tap the heart button to add a song, album, or artist to your favorites.

You can collect your favorites into custom playlists and share them with your friends, or share them to the library’s playlist collection, where they can be accessed by fellow music enthusiasts in your community:

You can stream and download on your computer at https://chelmsfordlibrary.freegalmusic.com or you can get the Freegal app for Android here, and you can get the iOS app (for Apple devices) here.

You can also sign up for our Freegal Music Club using the form here. Receive a newsletter with new releases and learn about building a community sharing music through this great library resource. Learn what your neighbors are listening to and introduce them to something new from your own favorites.
