 |
|
I just got a fairly decent MP3 player and I'm looking for a website to get MP3s from. I haven't done this in a long while so I don't know what the "in" thing is these days.
What do you use to get MP3s? P2P, Bittorrent?
Any good programs / sites? Thanks. |

i don't like limewire any more ... but it's not bad for individual songs.
if you like downloading albums and discographies, you can get torrents from isohunt.com and mininova.org ... that's what i usually do ... even pulling out individual songs, they still download very quickly. |

Ahh... last time I used that program it was an alpha and there were absolutely no users.
I just downloaded it and it looks to be completely loaded now. I can get anything! Thanks a million. |

| Torrents...just google whatever you're looking for....EX. The Cars torrent. Find one w/ the most seeds and download it w/ your torrent client. |

That's too slow, and not very successful. Especially if I'm looking for songs that aren't very popular and would only have seeders back in my home country--whom I can't connect too. I've tried the torrent thing before and it's really bad for individual songs.
I have Soulseek running right now at home, once I set it to download I had about thirty songs in under five minutes and now its downloading another 200 or so that I'm sure will be finished by the time I get home. Bittorrent can't do that. |

Well, yes, bittorrent can do that, but that's beside the point. Why not use both? This isn't a pissing contest. Use the appropriate program for the job at hand. Sometimes that means torrents, other times not. |

eMusic
Amazon's MP3 store
You know, just in case you'd like to compensate the artist. Both are DRM free. |
