Downloading Music

[Mandy]

Where do you get your music? Limewire? Itunes? Zune? Pirate Bay?

let us know! Also experiences using it and such :]

Limewire: I been using it for a year now and had no problem with it so far.

Did you just download the basic free thing? Are you positive it won't give my computer a virus?

Limewire

Although I am sorry for not buying discs and not creating revenue for disc labels / artists, I wouldn't buy music even if I had no way of downloading it...

Edit: I have the Pro one (from a special site if you know what I mean), and you get virus if you download them... (zip files / exe files) you are safe as long as you only download files that have terminations for video/music types (mp3, avi, mp4, mov, etc).

Basic Free Version...Only thing I uses it for is to download music (mp3).

I don't download all that much these days, though when I do I use a private bittorrent tracker. I'd mention the name, but it's invite-only, anyway .

Mostly from file hosting sites and CDs. Every once in a while I'll use Frostwire if I don't want an entire album. Sometimes I'll use a torrent, but not very often.

Try Frostwire. I generally use Napster + unDRM software...My dad pays for Napster (Because he's an idiot), so I get 192kbps music for free (Napster2go/15USD/mo)...

I get my music off Demonoid. Its invite only so that probably doesn't help you much.

 

[dinorider]

Mainly from torrents. Demonoid and The Pirate Bay being the usual sites. I also get/give a lot by borrowing my friends portable HDDs every once in a while.

I use Frostwire. It's exactly like Limewire.

You can get nasty stuff from any download, take precautions.
I don't worry about it too much, because I have a dedicated music server that I use to download music.
A virus can't do very much, because the server has no email, address book or browser.
About once a month I scan all the files on it, and delete as neccessary.

Limewire. Limewire itself doesn't have a virus, but you could download one. If you're just downloading music, you should be fine.

 

[Fire2box]

Limewire. Only idiots can pull viruses off Limewire. <_>

I download my music legally, or buy the CD.

Thread closed, it's against the rules.
