Downloading

[Zhukov]

Yo. What program/whatever are people using to download music these days?

I used to use Limewire, but I haven't needed to add to my music collection of mp3s for at least 5 years since most music these days is shite.

[executioneer]

i'm prob. out of date but when i need a single track/looking for something hard to find i use soulseek and when i'm looking for whole albums i usually use bittornado to download something off of demonoid

[Zhukov]

Soulseek. Righto.


Cheers.

[Mad Melvin]

Piratebay or Demonoid. If that fails, I just use plain old Google. Just put the artist name/album name on the search bar and type "rapidshare" next to it.

[Pentegarn]

I just go to youtube and convert the vids there to MP3s when I want a song

[Fathom Zero]

slsk or bust

I usually just follow blogs and stuff and they upload things to file-sharing sites.

[Esuohlim]

Definitely piratebay

[WhiteRat]

Soulseek. It's all i've been using for 8 years and has EVERYTHING and if you can find a good uploader who has a lot of shit and is cool you will be set.

[Tadao]

I use Soulseek for full albums and single songs. It came in handy when I was looking for live shows as well.

[stevetothepast]

type whatever song/album/artist in google and "mediafire" afterward.

[Esuohlim]

If I want an album I go to the store and pay up to $18 for it :LOL

[executioneer]

dang milhouse backwards that is hardcore

[Zhukov]

I do to, there's only been a handful of albums that have been worth it for the last few years, but I still buy what I am interested in. If I'm looking for a song from 1992, however, I'll now use soulseek, rather than just hum it.

[Esuohlim]

Honestly I never downloaded music until like 2007, then I got addicted to it :(. I legitimately bought my whole Zappa collection, but now that seems ridiculous to me I can't really imagine buying music anymore

[executioneer]

i support artists i like by going to their concerts :(

[Fathom Zero]

A bunch of my favorite artists are dead/don't tour anymore/press their own stuff, anyway. Downloading the newest club hit isn't wrong to me, 'specially when the thing's out of style after a month.

[Zhukov]

I like owning things, and having a legit collection of my favourite artists makes me feel better. I couldn't give a flying fuck about the record companies.

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

I never risk file sharing sites. Ya never know what you'll catch.


:rock

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I still buy cds but I just got itunes last month. I used to download mp3's back in the hayday of odd two but Adelphia cable found out and cut my internet on me.

[executioneer]

well i don't know if it'd keep the cablecompany from finding out but peerguardian 2 usually does a decent job keeping corporate snitches from catching you (or it used to?)

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

I just go to youtube and convert the vids there to MP3s when I want a song

http://www.youtube-mp3.org/

http://www.freemake.com/ I use the converter.

Like I said.... I never risk the net cooties from P2P and torrent sites.

:bow

[Pentegarn]

In my ink though there's nothing to download other than the MP3 the site converts for you

[stevetothepast]

what kind of a name is dingus knucklehumper anyway????

[Colonel Flagg]

Some questons are better left unasked. :blah

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

what kind of a name is dingus knucklehumper anyway????

It's just a name. No one else was using it.

[Pentegarn]

There's a reason for that

[Zhukov]

Wait, they can catch you downloading mp3s nowadays? WTF?

[Pentegarn]

That's what i hear, but it seems everyone does it now so it might be a real PITA to actually go after them all

[WhiteRat]

I once donwloaded over 1200 songs in 3 days and never got cut off.

I'M INVINCIBLE.

[executioneer]

just don't download any jk rowling audiobooks. only thing i ever got in trouble for :/

[Esuohlim]

It may just be the rock that keeps tigers away but I've never gotten busted :o

[Tadao]

I'M TELLING GOOGLE WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND THEY WILL SUE YOU!

[Pentegarn]

They have those pesky googlerules of theirs :Pram

[All Hail Duke]

I just go to youtube and convert the vids there to MP3s when I want a song

^ this, or mediafire but i've only used that twice

[Rez]

google album + mediafire. other forums. what.cd.

[Ex Leper]

Libraries are a good way to get free music as well if your old school.

[JohnnyLurg]

My college won't let me use Bittorrent. Good thing they've never heard of the Holy Trinity of Mediafire, Megaupload, and Rapidshare.
