Music Downloads

[Jmxvol]

Anyone know any sites where I can download music and/or videos??

Usually you need a program if you wanna do it for free. I personally use Ares, very similar format to what Kazaa used to be. It's generally virus-free and easy to use.

For downloading free programs, you can't beat http://www.download.com

Ahh... I *hate* WinMX. Not very user-friendly and files are a lot harder to find than with most other programs.

I had Ares, but some new virus stuff on my comp. wont let me download it again. I wonder if I could download another program??

I've heard of people using all of the above -- but be warned that it's illegal and you never know. . . .

I've also been told that newsgroups are the safest and have most anything you can imagine, but are not so "user-friendly."

Yeah - you never know when Lars from Metallica may bust through your front door followed by the FBI. :shakehead:

Cool, then we could rock out. I need a double-bass pedal though. . . :question:

Yeah, the drums are hard when you're handcuffed.

Tell him that Metallica sucks now, and he needs to use an actual drum kit instead of trash cans next time he records an album. Stomp and heavy metal don't mix.

Reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman starts a Christian Rock band and gets song ideas by downloading music illegally from the internet only to later be arrested by a posse led by Metallica?

Limewire has worked well for some people I know. You might want to check out Rhapsidy (sp?) I hear its legal, free, and works well. However other then that, the best one I hear is LimeWire.

I thought Rhapsody was pay? And either way, it's got something to do with RealPlayer, without question the worst media player of all-time.

I believe those are mutually exclusive terms.

Newsgroups are the way of the future.

For anyone interested in live recordings of concerts and/or acoustic sessions, www.archive.org has an extensive collection of free, legal, and artist-endorsed downloads. I just found out about it this week and have been BLOWN AWAY. The high-quality files are large, usually in FLAC format, but are easily burned to CD with exceptional quality (FAR above what I've gotten in the past off the old P2P programs).

To burn or convert FLAC files, you can download the FLAC program, a module with built-in plugins for Nero, etc. Winamp also has a plugin available.

I got sweet Scott Miller and Jack Johnson recordings last PM. I also burned the whole Sound Tribe Studio 9 (STS9) show from Bonnaroo, which was incredible. If you haven't heard them, it's kind of a blend between jam-band, lounge, and live-performance house music.
