Songr makes it a cinch: this simple tool allows you to search the Web for your favorite bands and songs, and download them straight away to your hard drive. No complicated settings, no endless web browsing, no hassle. Songr uses ten different MP3 search engines at the moment, though you can’t select which ones to use and that makes results quite variable, depending on what you’re looking for.

But Songr is not limited only to music and MP3. You can also use it to download YouTube videos in several formats (MP3, AVI, MPEG and HD MPEG if available) and buy your favorite songs right from Amazon and Rhapsody. Another outstanding feature is the ability to locate songs by their lyrics – really worth a try!

Songr works pretty well and is very easy to use. A few more improvements (like the ability to pause or queue downloads) and it’ll be great.
