1) Skirting legalities is always fun.

2) What do you use?

We pretty much all use mediafire or megaupload, preferrably the former.

Do you have a lastfm account? they're pretty fun to track what you listen to with and get more recommendations.

My problem with megaupload and the sort is the lack of a comment section. Admittedly the download speed does tend to be faster, but with 500kb/s being about my average with a standard torrent, I don't have too much to complain about.

And no, I don't have a lastfm account, but I will certainly look into it. I've had luck with a movie recommendation website called "Criticker", so perhaps this is relevant to my interests.

Thanks.

I wonder, what software do you use to organize your music? I simply play everything through VLC, however there isn't support for VLC through LastFM.

Dont sweat it. You know for the future. All the mods are easy to spot, all of our names are in blue.

Perhaps I am taking advantage of your knowledge and your time, but if you permit, can you tell me if there is any difference between MediaFire and any other P2P program, such as Kazaa, Limewire, etc.

mediafire is a direct link you follow, and when you've finished downloading the file you will have a compressed file/group of files, such as an album, in .rar format. All you need is the program WinRAR and you can decompress anything you get from Mediafire into normal mp3 files.

As for what I play my music with, either Windows Media Player or itunes

Thanks for your time khfreek,

I have always found WMP to be a RAM hog. I usually have music playing with Lightroom, Photoshop, and Chrome open simultaneously, so my music player must be ity bity. I'll look into it.

Being my first day on this website, I must say my first impressions are overly positive. Thanks for the good vibes.

Torrents aren't that bad if you find the right hosts.
