Many artists as well as listeners are
continuing to embrace and appreciate music
downloads. Previously, this was not the case
due to poor regulation and also lack of
sufficient knowledge.

However, due to better
regulation and public awareness campaigns,
users are able to enjoy high quality music
and videos, while the artists reap from their
effort. If the above list of 5 websites to
download Kenyan music online is anything to
go by, it is clear that regulation from
organisations such as Music Copyright
Society of Kenya (MCSK) has indeed
minimised illegal or unpaid for downloads.
