  All said I think carnatic music and artists are
  commercial. I have not come across any site wherein you can download music FREE !.
  At least some forum ought to do it.

  Many of carnatic musicians are not very well off. In the presnt needful days, unlike Hindustani musicians, carnatic musicians are poorly paid. This is one reason, they are commenrical. This is my humble opinion

  You can get a lot of songs if you are willing to spend $12. Goto http://www.download.com and search for Total Recorder. This product can create a mp3 file for any thing that is played on sound card. You can play Carnatic songs from any web site and while that is being played Total recorder will record it. I tried it and it works like a charm.
  
  Enjoy,
  Ramana

  Dear Mr. Rao
  
  Would you work for no pay? Why can't you even fork out the miserable $10-20 for a CD of the artiste? Don't you even respect the art that much? What is wrong with "being commercial"? Shouldn't the artistes make a living too? They spend years to perfect the art and you expect them to perform without any reimbursement? They devote their lives to make music their livelihood, and as such deserve to get paid for the music that makes you happy. Don't expect people to believe that you cannot afford the price of a CD! If you can afford to pay for the internet connection that rips music off the internet for free then you should be able to afford the cost of a CD

  Hi All
  I have read the responses. i am South African and love Carnatic music. I dont mind buying the cd's...but they are not available here..therefore we look for some free downloads from the net..Secondly if musicians sings for the love of the art..believe me..love is free...

  I fully support " Balaji (@ cache210.156ce.scvmaxonline.com.sg ". If ppl can pay for internet, there is always a way for them to go out and buy the CDs for them.By doing this, we will have the satisfaction that we are respecting such a great art.

  if you really like to listen to good carnatic music you can find a good number in www.musicindiaonline.com you may have to have to download real player or something else to listen to them online. in my opinion no artist sell music. they have to be a bit commercial because they too have to earn to live and there are a number of co artists who depend on them. so nothing wrong being commercial after striving so hard to master the art.

  balaji,
  
  the money for Total Recorder goes to the company and not the carnatic artistes. So, chill out man.
  Secondly, you can record directly using your pc without using any of these addendum softwares. just ask me if you wish to know.

  Dear Sujana,
  The site which u have posted contains krithis sung by Sri Shivkumar , without accompanists. It is good for learning . Can you please help in getting the downloads of Kutcheries of the great musicians ? or else , wish to share ? I think sharing will be the best one among all of us .

  I don't think all musicians are that bad off. Look at balamuralikrishna and Yesudas. Especially Yesudas. He has two houses in the U.S. and a huge one in India. And Balamuralikrishna is always on tour. I don't know much about carnatic music. I've only been studying for a year. so sorry if I disclaim anyone.

  www.swathithitrnal.org will also give you free mudic downloades.. but remember..agreed music is not for paisa..but without food no one can survive.
  budding mucicians can make some money by launching their website ,giving free downloades ,and using the money from ads..
