Limewire is the shit. Ever download a song which turns to complete static after 10seconds? Limewire is set to look for that, cancel the download and tell you so you can look up another one. Hardly any music I can't find, no spyware, and people hardly ever cancel your download prematurely.

iTunes, you damned pirates.

Bittorrent and a good tracker dedicated to music.

powerclown 10-10-2006 08:27 PM

I've been using AcquisitionX for OSX (now Universal Binary for Intel Macs). I love it...it ususally finds what I'm looking for, and the UI is simple and intuitive. No tracking/opening ports, configuring ul/dl speeds, none of that nonsense. Fire it up and get your music.

I've also used Kazaa Lite with good results. My p2p app of choice for XP. I tried morpheus once and is it a mess.

Bittorent is too complicated for me to configure. I can never get it to work consistently.

If I can't find what I'm looking for on acquisition, then ok I'll use iTunes. I think I've bought 3 songs in the last year. :)

to those that would state Best Buy, Circuit City, or any similar chain: You are a pawn.
Pirating may not feed artists, but buying from these sources hardly does either. At least pirates are only stealing once.
If you believe in supporting artists, then buy directly from them (everyone has a website now!), or at least from a local record store, where 50% of the record sale will go to the artist instead of %05 or less.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Soulseek is the one and only for music (except for BT)

Limewire sucks big sweaty balls. Unreliable, and memory hogging.

LuciferJones 10-23-2006 07:33 PM

is there a free way to use Usenet?

im really new at this whole thing, but I'm really curious of how it works

I've been using Soulseek and Bittorrent and it still works great, but there are always some really obscure artist that I'm always trying to get a hold of to know if I wanna buy their CD, and I'm hoping Usenet will be this way

No but the money DOES go back to the label to which the artist owes a great deal of money. Even when you buy from a "local record store" that doesn't mean the artist gets anymore (or less) than any other place. Most major artists don't sell through their own websites anyway.

If you're talking about indie artists that have put the record out with no advance from anyone then yeah ... they might get a larger percentage.

Where did you get the number 50% anyway? If I did all the legwork to get a record into a local shop I'd want at least 75 -85%. If I relied on a distribution company I'd probably get something like 50% or less (depends on how popular I am and how saavy I am when signing the contract).

But you go ahead and tell yourself that people who buy music legitimately through major chains are pawns ... anything you can do to justify your thievery.

Most major artists are in debt to the label ... the money goes to the label because the label agreed to loan money to the artist. The artist still owes the money regardless of whether the song was purchased at Best Buy or Uncle Shmoes Record Store or if people like you steal it from P2P sites.

Oh wait, here's your comeback for that, "Well, it's the artists fault for signing a deal with the devil. I'll continue stealing the music so we can 'break this vicious cycle' because I'm such a stand up guy."

(I apologize for the threadjack).

Someone recently told me about DC++. Hub Lists...hard as fuck for a computer illiterati such as myself to get a grip on but after a while I got the hang of it.
DL'ed Wolfmother's album and some Paul Oakenfold. EXCELLENT files.

I get the impression that this is bigger in Europe than in the US.

Google.

Nothing better than a good bittorrent client with a nice tracker search engine. My favorite non-private combination is www.btjunkie.org along with www.utorrent.com to download the .torrents. IMHO uTorrent is as good as it'll ever get for windows bittorrent clients.

bollocks 12-01-2006 02:36 PM

Soulseek ftw! Perfect for electronica heads. Lots and lots of vinyl rips.

Scheme 12-02-2006 08:51 PM

bittorrent, but use the client Utorrent. It's basically azureus except doesnt need java, and the download is about 200kb. not to mention it takes up crap all memory to run, and does all functions.

Brewmaniac 12-18-2006 04:47 AM

Ok, I'm a dummy, I've got µTorrent but don't know how to use it.
Is there any hope for me?

~Lucian~ 12-18-2006 03:03 PM

Yea i use a combination of limewire and bitcomet... I can get about 95% of what i want. and if there's even one user online you're bound to get the file sooner or later.

jusolson00 01-16-2007 09:44 PM

okay, I am wondering about you guys who use soulseek for mp3's.. now I've gone to the site to download it,, and it they says something about paying for a membership... like 25 bucks for a "lifetime" now I have no problem paying this if I will get the music I want.. Have any of you guys paid for this... and if so what do you get with that?.. can you download most mp3's that you want? I usually listen to more current stuff, so its not like i'd be searching for off the wall tracks that are hard to find. Thanks for the info!

biznatch 10-14-2007 10:18 PM

btjunkie is good for bitorrents.

zvezdas88 10-16-2007 04:49 PM

dc++ rules!!

MSD 10-20-2007 10:10 PM

Is this still kosher or did it go out with the no warez rule?

SecretMethod70 10-20-2007 10:14 PM

nah, this is just links to websites and applications, I don't have a problem with it

MSD 10-22-2007 05:20 AM

Now with mod/admin seal of approval!

Soulseek Soulseek Soulseek!

SSJTWIZTA 10-22-2007 11:31 AM

Soulseek rocks my socks.

i never have any problems finding anything with it, i even found a rare Roach Motel album using soulseek.

telekinetic 10-22-2007 11:45 AM

I prefer my sneakernet. I've downloaded 200gigs of music from it in less than a week--that kind of bandwidth is unmatched by else I've tried. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Derwood 10-22-2007 12:32 PM

I still prefer to pay for my music

DC++ is the way to go for any of your p2p needs. Some hubs are elitists, wanting you to share an exhorbanent amount of files to enter, but most are low share, friendly, and helpful. As previously stated above, it looks to be more widely used in Europe, as alot of the hubs are Swedish, Czech, Finish etc..., but most are filled with English speakers, and they all contain American content as well as European, Asian, etc..

buu2 10-22-2007 02:30 PM

Yea. I'd also recommend azureus bittorrent. They have almost everything with much better reliability than limewire or kazza. Usenet is also good if you learn to use it, but it relies on requests so searching is difficult.
