The present invention relates to a method of downloading music files, which are stored together with the software and can be downloaded later to a user computer or a mobile unit.

The most prominent changes in the 21st century are the informatization around the Internet, the rapid delivery of information using the Internet, and the formation of a global common network.

The Internet has a great influence on the entertainment industry, such as movies and music, and now many changes are taking place in the music industry rather than the movie industry requiring a large amount of transmission.

Among them, MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) layer 3, or MP3, is becoming one of the most influential items in the Internet market. According to the published statistics, the number of MP3 related sites has reached the top spot, defeating the Prono site, which has kept the number of levels.

In particular, the global music market is currently around $ 39.4 billion, of which the Internet music market, including online CD sales and digital music services such as MP3, has surpassed $ 850 million, or 2%. The Internet music market is expected to grow to $ 4.3 billion by 2004, which is 9% to 10% of the total music market. There are many companies that are currently downloading free music for digital music, but due to copyright and other issues, the monetization is accelerating, and the growth potential will increase as the Internet usage rate increases.
