Title: Downloading Music Post by: DaveShoelace on January 22, 2008, 05:29:22 PM Im a bit behind the times in this regard. What is the best client and also the best websites for downloading music?
Ideally the not paying anything variety. Title: Re: Downloading Music Post by: Pelham Boy on January 22, 2008, 05:38:12 PM Try Limewire.
Title: Re: Downloading Music Post by: ifm on January 22, 2008, 05:57:57 PM For individual tracks:
Shareaza, same as limewire except no adware or spyware and a bigger network. For albums: Bitcomet and use the torrent sites.

Leeches fine but with a bonus..... Downloads as a .flv file, you get the video too!! Only tried 2 tracks so far though, great find. Title: Re: Downloading Music Post by: Gryff on January 22, 2008, 06:44:11 PM Torrents for albums fo shizzle.
mininova.org thepiratebay.org yada yada tons of torrent sites out there, some public some private but if you want albums and fast then there is no better.

downloading listen then paying for it if you like it is still theft but i prefer that rather than pure dont right open theft says the man whose taste in music is anything pre elvis death Title: Re: Downloading Music Post by: Ecosse on January 22, 2008, 07:17:12 PM stealing music is theft downloading listen then paying for it if you like it is still theft but i prefer that rather than pure dont right open theft says the man whose taste in music is anything pre elvis death The site I pointed out is for listenening, only downloading by the tech savvy. People have been sharing music since pre-cassete players etc. It'll never stop no matter what the medium.

Robert? It looks like songza just grabs the flvs from youtube too.

Robert? It looks like songza just grabs the flvs from youtube too. I've not looked at the technical details, take it you've had a look ? I was just trying to find a song LOL Dougie. Title: Re: Downloading Music Post by: Ecosse on January 22, 2008, 07:34:48 PM Genius. Songza, when you select a result gives the option to buy the song with the click-through to Amazon (obviously getting the site a kickback). It's quite a site when your hunting for music.

It was the loading from youtube... in the status bar that gave it away. ;) Title: Re: Downloading Music Post by: Ecosse on January 22, 2008, 09:04:23 PM I've spent more time on it now, it goes to loads of different sources (not just youtube - not had any from there).
No failed searches yet and i'm getting loads of good versions (original/cover/live) of some of the numbers I was hunting. Well bookmarkable. Weekends I sometimes have folks back to mine after the pub/club/poker game and if I aint already got the music a guest wants, this site does it for me. Title: Re: Downloading Music Post by: KingPoker on January 22, 2008, 10:18:54 PM Great Find!
