Where do you download your music from?  |
|
And do you pay for it, if so, how much?
I download my music for free from Limewire. I've been using that service for at least 3 or 4 years now.
It's funny, because hubby always tells his customers not to use Limewire, it's notorious for viruses. But then he comes home and uses it himself. The trick is to know exactly what to download, and obviously avoid the p*rn. I've never had a problem with it.

katsmeow1213 (4915) | 7 months ago | Sorry for sounding like an idiot here... but what's a Torrent?
| |
|
|
MYKLJ999_VERSION_2 (2981) | 7 months ago | A torrent is a download with multiple files...such as an entire album, or the entire recorded works of an artist.
You can use torrents to download everything an artist has recorded in one download.
| |
|
|
katsmeow1213 (4915) | 7 months ago | So you're downloading this torrent from another online user, or what? Downloading 1 song is risky enough!
| |
|
|
MYKLJ999_VERSION_2 (2981) | 7 months ago | You can download from multiple users...I scan everything before I open it.
I also have a separate hard drive for storing my music files just to be even safer.
| |
|
|
katsmeow1213 (4915) | 7 months ago | Aren't you such a computer genius! I'm not quite so computer savvy, think I'll stick with single songs from Limewire. I normally only like 1 or 2 off an album anyway.
| |
|
|
Nhey16 (1706) | 7 months ago | I also use torrent...:) when I only want one song, I do use limewire...

| 2. maraboov (3) | 7 months ago | I like using eMule. It's a bit slow sometimes with downloading, but it depends on the amount of sources. Vuze is a nice program too, but I prefer eMule for music, and Vuze for movies. I think it's unnecessary to pay for music nowadays because you can find practically whatever you're looking for on the internet, free of charge.

|
katsmeow1213 (4915) | 7 months ago | I will still pay for movies because it's more comfortable to watch them in the living room, while sitting on my sofa, on a big screen instead of on a small monitor.
| |
|
|
MYKLJ999_VERSION_2 (2981) | 7 months ago | You can get a video card for your computer for about $100 that will let you use your big screen TV as a computer monitor...
| |
|
|
| maraboov (3) | 7 months ago | You definitely have a point, kats, but there are various ways you can watch downloaded movies on your TV or big screen. I personally download movies, and either watch them on my computer, which has an excellent wide screen with great resolution, or burn them onto a dvd-cd and watch them on TV through my dvd player, or I transfer the movie to my cell-phone, which came with a special wire that you can connect to any television set and watch movies, pics, or listen to music you have stored in your phone.

katsmeow1213 (4915) | 7 months ago | It all sounds so technical! LOL. I'm happy just paying a $20 a month fee to Blockbuster for unlimited rentals each month, including new releases. I have watch downloaded movies before, it's usually a toss up, sometimes it's good, sometimes the quality stinks!
| |
|
|
| maraboov (3) | 7 months ago | That's true, but usually you can find out exactly what your downloading and how good the quality is. Especially so with torrents, because before you start downloading you can see an overview of the files contained within the torrent, how many people have downloaded it, and usually people leave comments about whether the torrent is good or not.

3. always_natalia (337) | 7 months ago | I like to download my songs from Soulseek because it has huge collections of old and new songs. The Soulseek program is also light and fast. Plus we can chat with friends too there.

4. ravinskye (6253) | 7 months ago | My cousin had told me about limewire, but i was afraid of viruses. I had used a site called kazaa a few years ago and kept getting viruses. I would rather be safe than sorry because we don't have much in the way of virus protection on this computer. At least I don't think so but I'm not sure what came one it. I just use itunes since we all have ipods. I save up my points on different websites and use the points to by itunes giftcards. Occasionally I will pay for a song if I want it bad and can't wait till I get more gift cards lol.

5. savetheunlikely9 (346) | 7 months ago | I use torrents too. I know it sounds more dangerous to download full albums, but really, it's not so bad. Most of them are very safe, and you can see everything you're downloading. You even have the option to not download certain files. When using torrents, you can download movies, programs, music, just about everything. It's much better than limewire.
With that said, I still use limewire when I only need to download a song or too, but limewire really slows down my laptop.

7. emma412 (905) | 7 months ago | I am an illegal downloader too. LOL. I use Limewire as well. We keep a pretty close monitor on virus protection and so far haven't gotten anything from it. I have heard stories of people getting viruses though. I know it's free but sometimes the songs really suck. It's frustrating sometimes finding a song in a good version on there. I used to use Kazaa years ago.

i_somera (101) | 7 months ago | I guess that's what i am too, an illegal downloader LOL. I use uTorrent to download the media files that i like, including movie files.
| |
|
|
i_somera (101) | 7 months ago | sometimes I search on FilesTube.

manayonboy (279) | 7 months ago | were the same illegal down loader. always searching for free mp3 in the net. in limewire sometimes sample only with a length of 30 second and others need licensed so you could not play it.
| |
|
|
katsmeow1213 (4915) | 7 months ago | I occasionally have problems with the files downloaded from Limewire, like they won't play or whatever. Sometiems you have to go through 3 or 4 to get a good one. I had this one song that no matter how many versions I downloaded, I always got the same problem, it would break up towards the end! I ended up giving up!

| 8. rawsugar (29) | 7 months ago | for individual songs I use limewire, but when I want to download a whole album I'll go to a torrent site and download from there. And every once in a while I'll actually go out and support the artists I love and buy their albums:)

| 9. tunafish69 (46) | 7 months ago | I use limewire to download music.
but may I also suggest that we're on the downloading topic.
Did you guys know that people will pay you money to download albums or complete discographies of bands and put them in a .rar or .zip file for them?
This one kid pays me 10 bucks to download a bands discography like every other day and it takes me 20 minutes, so easy and fun.
Ya though, limewire is bad for p*rn rofl!
