Free Music Downloads For Phones

,

Fank is one of the essential sites for mobile users. It contains hundreds of MP3 tracks all available for free download. Of course I'd never encourage anyone to download things they don't already own as that would be illegal. But for those of us who don't have a PC it's a great site for putting our music on our phones.

In fact there's only one real problem with Fank, and that is that the entire site is in Russian so most people give up before they've started. That's why I decided to put together a little tutorial for people.


There are eight screenshots in this post so it may be pretty large to load for phone users.


1) Enter the name of the band that you're looking for in the text box and click the link below.


2) On the search results screen, click the name of the band that you're hunting for.


3) This will bring up a list of the albums by that band that are available on the site. Choose which album you want by clicking the name.


4) This will take you to a list of the songs on that album. Choose which song you wish to download.


5) Now we're at the quality screen. Basically the higher the size of the download, the better the quality of the song. I usually choose the highest myself but it all comes down to how much you pay for data and how much space you have on your device.


6) Now to prove you're human and not a computer trying to mess with the site. There's an image of a number above a text box. Just copy the number into the box and click the link below it.


7) Et voila, it's starting to download. Depending on your phone you may have to agree to download.


8) Once the song has downloaded and been saved you can enjoy it at any time while on the move.

Thank Fank for that eh? By the way, you can get to Fank by following Max nested elements reached. It'll take you to the place on the first screenshot.

Max nested elements reached Hell, in some places it's illegal to back up things you do own, but that's a stupid law so I refuse to put it in bold.

How come I've never heard about such a useful source confused

theoddbod Thursday, February 7, 2008 8:39:40 PM

Cool site up

Is it your phone or the screenshot program that doesn't recognise the russian alphabet?

Dark FurieFurie Thursday, February 7, 2008 8:45:00 PM

It's Opera Mini. I usually have it on the smallest font available and the extended alphabets just come up as boxes. Besides, it illustrates just how easy it really is to use the site, even when you can't read the words.

I guess the russian language barrier isn't a problem for you eh Alla? lol

theoddbod Thursday, February 7, 2008 8:51:29 PM

It displays the russian on Mini for me. Download speed is pretty slow, though - a meagre 5k a second sad. I think my phone's doing its WAP impression again irked.

Dark FurieFurie Thursday, February 7, 2008 9:22:11 PM

You using Mini 3 with the smallest font setting?

theoddbod Thursday, February 7, 2008 9:31:30 PM

No, Mini 4 on Medium. I haven't used 3.1 for a while.

Allangieallangie Thursday, February 7, 2008 9:41:07 PM

No, Mik, I have no language barrier when it comes down to russian p I'm pretty fluent in it lol Can't get used to OM4, still prefer the 3rd...

Spaggyj Thursday, February 7, 2008 9:48:33 PM

I'm with you Alla. I like 3 much better.

Allangieallangie Thursday, February 7, 2008 10:44:43 PM

happy I have them both. But stick with #3

Spaggyj Thursday, February 7, 2008 10:54:59 PM

Me too. And me too lol

Allangieallangie Thursday, February 7, 2008 10:57:04 PM

upyes

theoddbod Thursday, February 7, 2008 11:02:24 PM

Are there any other sites like this? I'm finding about one song in ten that I look for.

Bad WolfCois Thursday, February 7, 2008 11:04:47 PM

I usually use my phone browser for downloads.. very slow.. the link I have takes you straight to a alphabetical list.. haven't tried it on mini yet..

Dark FurieFurie Thursday, February 7, 2008 11:49:43 PM

There used to be a few sites like this but a load of them have gone down in the past few years. If I find any more I'll link to them.

Bad WolfCois Friday, February 8, 2008 12:01:44 AM

I just checked it.. its about the same.. just looks different on mini is my guess..

Redshigen Friday, June 20, 2008 11:58:42 PM

...It won't worrrrrrkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!1

:cries uncontrollably:

:mumbles:

.............Sex Pistols.......

cry

Help? PLEASE?! Lol.

theoddbod Saturday, June 21, 2008 12:21:00 AM

Define 'won't work'. Sometimes the search isn't working at all, but i just searched for 'sex pistols' and it's fine currently.
Also the search is a 'starts with' search for some reason. A search for 'queen' will show results for 'queens of the stone age', a search for 'stone' won't find them.

theoddbod Saturday, June 21, 2008 12:21:41 AM

I hope you have a good data plan for your phone, by the way.

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, June 21, 2008 2:08:14 AM

It's for her PC I think.

theoddbod Saturday, June 21, 2008 10:34:10 AM

She's trying fank.ru from her PC? It won't let you, unless you use Opera Mini and the emulator.

Redshigen Wednesday, July 16, 2008 4:06:26 PM

...Oh.

.........Then THAT'S why...

crycrycry

theoddbod Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:23:42 PM

Actually, I've since tried from the PC via the emulator and it doesn't work there either - the emulator hasn't emulated file system access yet doh.

Redshigen Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:25:54 PM

Lolz!!!

Well, THIS sucks...

And I still want that song Cruel, though...

:draws lines in sand:

Dark FurieFurie Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:48:24 PM

Give me the song title and the band name (check your spelling on both) and I'll mail it you if I can find it.

Redshigen Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:56:24 PM

SWEET!!!

Cruel by Public Image Ltd.

Redshigen Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:59:53 PM

Pleassse tell me if you can get it, though...

Becuase if not then I'll be waiting for that email until the end of time. lol

Dark FurieFurie Wednesday, July 16, 2008 10:59:53 PM

Okay, I'll check it out later on.

Redshigen Wednesday, July 16, 2008 11:00:32 PM

THANKYUUUU!!!!!

Oh, belated birthday wishes to your boy by the way. Web shat out on me yesterday and I haven't been able to get past my green watches yet so I'll say it here while I'm actually able to be online.

Bad WolfCois Friday, December 2, 2011 6:21:14 AM

Fuck. Just forgot i needed to buy him the other toys before they come.. doh

Dark FurieFurie Friday, December 2, 2011 3:12:41 PM

You expected them to arrive just cause you wished it? left

Bad WolfCois Sunday, December 4, 2011 9:31:35 PM

Bad WolfCois Sunday, December 4, 2011 9:31:48 PM

no. p I was gonna buy anyway cause it doesn't mean I'm never gonna see him so even if later he still gets it no? p also while I have the money and I don't use it for something meaningless..
