    Of all, free Thai songs are offered as promo, you'll get it by coincidence. As what I know, there is only one way of getting free Thai songs, and IT'S NOT A GOOD WAY.

    A fairly easy way to do it, is download the free Youtube HD down loader, then when you have say 10 videos you really like saved on your PC, now you can watch when not connected to Internet.

    Now use Nero to convert to mp3 its really quick and easy, i have probably 20-30 tracks this way on my mp3 player to listen to when out jogging. so now you have one video folder and one mp3 folder, cheers good luck,

    And sorry but whats the problem? its hard enough listening to a whole album of any famous world known artist, because of a album full of space filling rubbish,but most best of albums are worth buying,
    but to find a 10 year old Thai song on a current CD?or just one off Thai track your trying to find or want? come on be realistic, You tube is free to air so converting to mp3 what's the problem? Beause if that's the case every thing you read or look at on the Internet is a copyright infringement.
    Just a point, Thai pop stars are Superstars and wealthy beyond belief compared to most western pop stars of 5 minute fame.

    Thank you everyone for your kind advise!
    As I mention earlier on, I do buy original CD album but it just that I would need a few songs to be in my MP3 player during my jog.

    If you have to ask what the problem is,then I am not going to tell you. And if you really believe that Thai artists are wealthy compared to Western artists............. you are living in cloud cuckoo land.

    I understand that artists sometimes use Youtube to promote forthcoming albums, although it’s debatable what effect that has on sales but most YouTube videos are posted by people that have no connection to the artist or record company.

    To promote stealing music (for that is what you are advocating) to my mind is totally unacceptable and should never be condoned by this website. I happen to know from first-hand experience that this type of attitude genuinely upsets some artists and makes them question whether they should even allow Video posts at all.

    Come on guys, this and every web sight that has news reports on is in breach of copy right if not the original,just thanking the original paper it comes from, surely changes nothing.

    Now You tube is here to stay and has billions of hits every day, also over the last few years has gained vast amounts of Thai music and learning topics on there.If you dont want to look there dont,also dont post anything from there if your attitude is its breaking copy right!

    Now on this very site people load up Thai YouTube music to be shared, so i don't see the argument, if someone wants to take just the sound for mp3 listening good on them,

    Technology is moving so fast, and the law around file sharing is flawed, so for me im happy to give advice if people ask.

    On the Wealth factor of Thai super stars, come on 65 million Thai people, name any Thai Superstar they are all family names, do the same in the west? Only people who have been around decades are known by all.
    So 5 mins of fame on X factor or even a UK number One wont make you anywhere near a wealthy person.
    I bet Sek loso or Carabao aint short of a few quid!

    Sharing a Youtube video using the link provided by Youtube is not of itself a breach of copyright (as long as the video was uploaded to Youtube within the law). I am not even going to bother addressing your other points.

    As someone who has been a victim of copyright theft, I can tell you that it's not nice. Theft is theft is theft.
