Do you download music?
 

I don't want to get into a debate here about whether you think it's right or wrong -- we can do that in another thread. I just have two simple questions:

1. Do you download music?

2. If yes, what program do you use?

Thanks!

I do sometimes, but not THAT often. (I have under 1000 songs on this comp, including many CDs I bought and have simply copied on here.

I use KaZaA.

Napster..

quit downloading illegal music people oh well ull get sued eventually

i download music... if i search a band that i may be interested in i download a few songs, then if i like them go out and buy the cd..

i use kazaa

kazaa,emule,edonkey just to replace my old lp's(why should i pay twice?)

kazaa for me

because.. uh its illegal.. whatever i dont really care just dont look at me when u get a lawsuit filed on you because they are doing a lot now heh

He means when he is replacing his LPs (long playing records). That's perfectly legal.

I have stopped doing it for the most part...The last time I downloaded any more than a song or two from a band before buying the album was linkin park in the summer.

I downloaded dont stay by korn, and feeling this by blink, and since I liked those songs, i got the albums.

Yeah thats generally the way I take it, I like to know that I'm getting my moneys worth out of a cd before I buy it. Because of downloading music I have list of cd's miles high that I want to buy now. It works both ways for me.

I definitely treat downloading music like a radio. I may download a song here or there, but it's really just to test to see whether I like it enough to buy the album.

As everyone else said, I do it to see if I'd like the band, and if I do I go buy the cd, if not, then I didnt waste money! I dont share it anyway

You cared enough to comment mate!

Didn't i read on here somewhere that like a smoke,if you catch my drift? Legal now is it?

Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone(head in to the road)
Thanks Rocka that's exactly what i meant.

i used to download alot, now i just do it to preview albums

tru dat

i like to download songs that are not around such as cool colabs and such things

whats with all these people reviving dead threads.....



oh well....i suppose its better than making pointless new ones.

well everytime someones starts a new thread one of you 100000000 posts guys
go , hey this has been a thread before

which is why i said:

Yes. I've just finnished burning three CDs worth of files.

I use safeshare.

I just use the iTunes music store and Napster

Limewire is hardly any better.

1. Yes
2. Slsk

Same here. I use Limwire [free version].

Most of the stuff I download I end up buying anyway. For me nothing beats being able to read the CD liners and I want to support the bands so they can continue to not have day jobs. (If the don't have already).

For my band, we are allowing full download of our material at crashbasket.com. we figure everyone should listen to it and share it. That's what music is for right?

The only time I've ever downloaded is when it was unreleased or hard to find material. Other than that - I always go buy.

i did, but it was stuff i had already pruchased over the years and some multiple times. u know old tapes and even some old record albums that all got demagnetized or badly scratched. there were a few that i threw-out because i no longer had a machine to play them on.

Would anybody know if there are any "free" music downloads that I could get on my MP3 player and how I would do this?

1. yes

2. limewire

i dont think its wrong at all. i mean yeah its techinically illegal but id rather download free albums then go out and buy them and then what if i dont like it if i buy it? i cant return it after its already been used. downloading is just so much better. but thats me. im a rebel :rolleyes:

I could not agree more. The whole thing of downloading music for (coughs up quietly "free") is fantastic. Thank you for that I'll have a good look round.:)

Limewire owns

And I do not pirate music, i merely borrow it.

not me man. patchy the pirate all the way.

Oh you disgust me.

I do, and it's on Limewire!

So when do you plan on giving it back? :p

why would you call yourself a skank?:offtopic: :usehead: :dj:

Why would you call yourself, Your the crazy one not me? :ar_15s:

>.> <.< Yeah, I download, but not excessively. I buy CD's more so it's all good. Out of the 1531 music files on my comp only around 200 are downloaded so it isn't that bad. ^_^ I started out using WinMX because it was the easiest program to use. Very simple download and fast downloads, but then it went crashing down and sadly it may never come back :soapbox:
When I tried Limewire it was just too much for my little comp, so was KaZaa... even Morpheus is but I kept it because I couldn't get it off my computer. >.<

like im gonna believe that ;)

Solution: buy a new computer!

I use limewire but only download to preview before borrowing a cd or buying it.
