Some listed multimedia players can be used to download and share music files. Users of Louisiana State University technology services are expected to respect the rights of copyright owners and adhere to copyright laws. In addition to being a media player, some listed players have for-fee music download services to which you may subscribe. Louisiana State University strongly encourages use of these legal online services over illegal methods; however, any arrangement established with a music service is solely between the individual and the company. Louisiana State University bears no responsibility for any aspect of that relationship.
