Where's a good place to download music?

**Symian** · 05-14-2004, 10:34 PM

I have Kazaa, but it sucks. It doesn't have **** on Napster 4 years ago. I used to use MusicGalaxy or whatever, but they shut that down, too. I don't care if I have to pay, but I don't want to pay alot. Any know of anywhere?

See what happens when you change the board and don't consult the members.

Soulseek or DC++

**l6873** · 05-15-2004, 12:35 AM

emule...you can find anything, but it'll take a while to download
try shareaza as well...

**Spoon** · 05-15-2004, 12:41 AM

i currently use limewire, try imesh as well.

**chicamahomico** · 05-15-2004, 01:00 AM

I rarely have problems finding exactly what I want on Kazaa. You cannot find something on Kazaa.....is that a regularly occurring prob? Did you try jumping supernodes?

**c_ville** · 05-15-2004, 01:31 AM

use mirc

http://packetnews.com/ (search what you want.. itll bring up mirc links)
http://www.mp3hq.net/ (shows recent rips - possibly what you want to look for)
http://www.mp3****ter.com/ (shows recent rips - possibly what you want to look for)
http://ircspy.com/ (search what you want.. itll bring up mirc links)

No, I can always find it. It's downloading it that's the problem. I have a fast connection, but everytime I try to download, MOST of the time, it gives me that "need more sources" or some other crap.

I wish Audiogalaxy was still up. It worked pretty good, too.

AnabolicAlien · 05-15-2004, 03:32 AM

hey!!

NEVER EVER use kazaa... get kazaalite instead without all the ad and spyware on it. if that doesn't work then i think you're looking for some pretty obscure music bro.

**bornbad71** · 05-15-2004, 06:34 AM

Go buy the friggin cd's and stop steeling the music from the net.(j/j)

Yes Kazaa sucks hind tit.....Try WinMX.com, it has worked good for me and no spy/ad ware.

Yep. Kazaalite works great.

**Phillyboy1** · 05-15-2004, 08:05 AM

www.winmx.com is the best program ive used so far, it will down load from multiple users who have the same song so you can get the songs super fast. ive downloaded albums in about 3 minutes

**chicamahomico** · 05-15-2004, 10:24 AM

What version do you have? I think the newer versions of K++ handle all that problem to some extent although sometimes if I am downloading a large file (700+ mb) that is relatively rare it can be a significant wait because of source finding problems.

I have the newest version, and I paid for the Plus so I don't get the adware and crap. Maybe that was a mistake, but I hate adware and spyware.

I don't know what the deal is. Maybe it's who I'm downloading from, but I always get screwed, and when I do a search %80 of the results have the red X on them, which I don't know what is, and it fails to download those anyway.

I guess I'll try out winMX, and see how that turns out.

If your just looking for a song or two then all of the above are ok, but if you want full albums and games, movies, apps, audio books ect then Bit torrent kicks ass!! All you have to do is download the small file from Bittorrent.com homepage and then hit a page like suprnova.org and you can download a ton of albums (recent or old), movies that have just hit theaters ect.. It is by far the best program I have ever used for jacking free stuff.

**GeoQuadzilla** · 05-15-2004, 02:58 PM

Blubster! great place has everything... www.blubster.com

IMHO it is stupid to download stuff from the web or from P2P. Get your stuff from UseNet instead. Get yourself a good newsreader (I like NewsLeecher for binaries, but Agent works okay too) and if your ISP does not have a news server, then pay for an account.

Here are a few groups for you:
alt.binaries.multimedia.country-music
alt.binaries.music
alt.binaries.music.classical
alt.binaries.music.ape.bootleg
alt.binaries.music.faith.and.wisdom
alt.binaries.music.garbage
alt.binaries.music.heavy-metal
alt.binaries.music.jungle
alt.binaries.music.springsteen
alt.binaries.music.doors
alt.binaries.music.techno
alt.binaries.sounds.emmylou
alt.binaries.sounds.erotica
alt.binaries.sounds.jefferson-airplane
alt.binaries.sounds.led-zeppelin
alt.binaries.sounds.blues
alt.binaries.sounds.country
alt.binaries.sounds.electronic
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1950s
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1960s
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1970s
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1980s
etc
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.bob-dylan
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.classic-rock
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.dr_demento
I think you get the picture. There are probably 4 or 5000 newsgroups just for music binaries. When you get stuff from P2P there is no peer review. On a newsgroup, if a post is bogus or incomplete or corrupted or is infected, somebody will post a message to that effect. So you can see, if the post is a day old or so, whether or not it is what it is supposed to be. There is more variety. Things are neatly categorized in their proper groups. You don't have to hope that your source is online... you can always log on to your news server. You are more anon than with P2P. And you can also get programs, e-books, pics, flicks, (most flicks on P2P are low quality avi rather than VCD or SVCD or DVD compliant mpg) and you can also find text-only groups with lively discussions going on. UseNet rocks. P2P sucks. Just my two yuan.
