Mark 0 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Whats the best thing to download music. I used Limewire but that wont open for me for no apparent reason, not even an error message. Shareaza only connects to one connecter thingy (I'm not to hip with the computer mumbo jumbo) So any recommendations? Kazaa lite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric 0 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) eMule. But only use it to download music by un-signed artists, because piracy is bad, mmmmkay, and everyone should buy music legitimately in music stores or online and pay the RIAA their 90% ranso... err, fee that they richly deserve.

adios 717 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 (edited) Torrents seem to be the way to go at the moment. www.piratebay.org is good for getting comments on how good the quality of the download is. www.isohunt.com always seems to find what I'm looking for. Azureus is a decent torrent client, haven't tried that many though. Edited September 4, 2005 by DotBum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Chops 0 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Cabos similar to Limewire but really simple http://cabos.sourceforge.jp/ Bit Tornado for Torrents. Soulseek for rarer stuff but beware the snobs on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 349 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Soulseek is a nightmare for having arsey people. Torrents are best for full albums. Limewire has been good for me for single tracks, but yes failing that then the Soulseek is a decent back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Virgin and Universal have signed a deal that will give the ISP's customers access to "unlimited" music. For a monthly fee, Virgin's broadband customers will be able to download or stream as many MP3 files as they want. As part of the deal, Virgin has pledged to aggressively police usage to stop the MP3 tracks turning up on file-sharing networks. Virgin said it was in talks to add other music firms' back catalogues to the service. Gradual response The service is due to be launched before Christmas 2009. Virgin has not said how much the service will cost every month. But it said it could be comparable to the cost of a couple of albums a month. Universal Music's Lucian Grainge hails anti-piracy deal. Virgin said it would also offer an "entry level" service to fans that do not want unlimited access. Those signing up will be able to put the tracks on any music player and keep the music they have downloaded even if they stop paying the monthly fee. Artists such as Amy Winehouse, Girls Aloud, La Roux and Black Eyed Peas are signed to Universal. Virgin said it had vowed to try a range of anti-piracy measures as part of the deal. The last resort would be a temporary suspension of a customer's internet connection if that person consistently ignored warnings about their activity. "There's nothing else like this out there," said Mark Mulligan, vice president at Forrester Research. "Both parties have brought everything they have to offer to the table." He said Virgin was smart to target the service at households where parents would pay the fee but it was likely that their children would make most use of it. But by promising "a temporary suspension of internet access" for persistent offenders, Virgin appears to have gone further than any other ISP in acceding to the demands of the music industry. Rory Cellan-Jones BBC technology correspondent Read the dot.life blog in full Its success, he said, would depend on whether it won the backing of other music labels and gave unlimited access to their catalogues too. If it did then it might tempt many to defect from other services such as iTunes. "If you have unlimited MP3s, as much as you could possibly want to get, why would anyone go anywhere else?" he asked. But, he said, the two were taking a risk in launching the service. "The UK digital market is littered with the corpses of failed music subscription services. BPI boss Geoff Taylor welcomed the deal and said: "It is very encouraging to see an ISP and a record label working together as creative partners." He added: "At the same time, the fact that Virgin Media will apply a graduated response system to tackle persistent illegal downloaders demonstrates that graduated response is a proportionate and workable way forward." The Virgin/Universal deal was announced the day before the UK government releases the final version of the Digital Britain report put together by Lord Carter. The report is widely expected to bestow new powers on communications watchdog Ofcom that will let it compel ISPs to do more to tackle file-sharing. It is thought that one favoured solution to discourage persistent pirates will be to dial down their internet connection speed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8100394.stm Wewy intawesting.
