What do you use for downloading music?

[anti-NAFTA]

What do you use for downloading music? I used to use Napster, then Morpheus, then Kazaa. Now I got a new computer (still shitty 56k though) and I don't feel I should bother re-downloading Kazaa since the RIAA scum is suing people. I want to get some mp3s. What should I do? What do you do?

What are the chances of me being sued for downloading from kazaa? If I don't share my files, can they still get me? Can they still get me if I only download underground artists rather than big names like Metallica and Britney Spears?

Any advice would be appreciated.

5. i use itunes

ya, you havta pay 99 cents a song, but it's generally worth it. They got a huge selection and they sell most full cd's for only $9.99. But you can only get it if you have an apple computer or AOL. Oh,and the sound quality is just as good as it is on a regular cd. I've used Kazaa before and I didn't find the sound quality to be all that good.

just my 2 cents :bounce:



p.s.i didn't like having to pay $25 for Pink Floyd: The Wall, but it was worth it

10. 99 cents a song is not worth it

20 songs, that's almost 20 bucks. Is that worth it? I'd rather pay full price and get the actual cd with case and artwork.

6. If you are worried about getting sued why don't you use a pay service

[name not needed]

12. because

money would go to the RIAA. only enabling them to sue others. so really that would only be pouring gasoline on the fire.

[MAlibdem]

7. Nothing

Muahahaha, Im not telling, i dont wanna get sued

[anti-NAFTA]

13. then don't answer to my thread

Jesus. Thanks for nothing!

8. What do you take me for, a criminal?

I would NEVER download about 900 songs from LimeWire on my 20' iMac, nor would I put them all, along with the tunes I copied from my CDs, onto my iPod to enjoy all day long. That would be WRONG!

17. if you would use limewire

is the new version better than the older version that you wouldn`t use?

[Gringo]

19. It would be a huge improvement over previous versions.

If I knew anything about such things...

[BlueEyedSon]

14. Nothing, it's illegal

but if i did, i would use Gnucleus.

[madrchsod]

16. well if i were to

download music i might use kazaa lite "resurrection" or ares or soul seek and the new version of limewire . i would probably go to <http://www.zeropaid.com> to download and check what other people think.

18. A friend has had very good luck with Limewire

But I personally wouldn't know.

20. Money, usually to Amazon.com

21. mIRC and the Newsgroups.

Fuck the RIAA, don't fear those fools. No one is getting sued for downloading, it's only if you have a massive server running.

[IronLionZion]

22. Direct Connect

it's a client server thing but there are public servers available. You usually have to share a lot to get on though.

23. Kazaa Lite (fuck the RIAA) and WinMX

[Beaker]

25. I never have.

I already have a huge collection of cd's/vinyl, and there's not a whole lot of new music that does all that much for me...I kind of grew out of the "music phase" pre-internet.
