Advice please - making my own wedding cd/ipod background music - legally!

Hi there

I have a list of tunes that I want to put on CD to play in the background for about 4 hours during my wedding day. Artists like Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Florence & The Machine, Coldplay but to name a few. There are about 60 tunes I like, I would say we probably got about 25 on CDS somewhere. Thats not a problem.

But the songs we need downloading, now theres the problem. I dont want to pay 99p each to buy these tracks. Thats gonna cost me about £40 odd? Does anyone know if I can subscribe to something, like say Spotify (which I love btw) for one month for like £10 and download unlimited tracks and then cancel?

Any tips for the cheapest option for this would be MUCH appreciated!!

Thanking U!

    You may be able to borrow the CDs from your local library, or from friends, and download them from there.

    Otherwise, ask around friends to see if they have some of the songs already downloaded on their computer/Ipod

    It is also worth keeping an eye on charity shops, although you would have to pay for the CD, if there are a few songs from the same artist you might be lucky, and you'd get to keep the CD.
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    LOL, yeah because that isn't Illegal! Your friends and family are probably your best port of call.

    not ALL download sites are illegal- many bands offer FREE promotional tracks, remixes etc.

    amazon also do frequent freebies and offers on twitter -
