Yeh, tell that to the judge man...
Personally WinMX is my first choice for tunes.
But when I find it lacking, I go to IRC:
SERVER: irc.infomatrix.net:6667
ROOM: #mp3_depot
or
SERVER: Undernet
ROOM: #mp3passion

Post by: 1vcfan on May 08, 2003, 02:52:58 pm: my computer is a piece of junk, and it takes 3 hours just to download one song, so usually i just get them from other people.

Post by: kev222 on May 09, 2003, 11:25:13 am: I buy all my CDs. But I always use KaZaA (even though it's crap) to listen to stuff before I buy. I hate to have CDRs in my collection (plus with the way I treat discs they don't last) :-\

Post by: rosieposy87 on May 09, 2003, 11:33:09 am: I know what you mean kevin, i only use Kazaa as a way to discover new music- if i couldn't d/l music i wouldn't have been able to experience all of the wonderful music i have and i would have had to have stuck to the UK music scene.

I always buy the CDs of the people i really like, and the only time when i wouldn't do that is when i only like 1 song- in which case the CD blatantly wasn't worth buying in the first place.

Post by: Vultch on May 25, 2003, 08:19:17 pm: I'm suprised more people dont use IRC. It takes a bit of time to learn, but once you know how, its the most reliable way of getting anything.
Title: Where to get music?
Post by: Will on May 25, 2003, 09:53:25 pm: IRC is good for obscure warez and betaz, but the p2p networks work fine for me, generally.

Why bother messing with it when p2p is faster most of the time?

I mean, there is always that obscure track.... but that is what I have you for Kev, right? :wink:
Title: Where to get music?
Post by: sayyouwould on May 25, 2003, 10:11:52 pm: what is an obscure warez and betaz?? Wicked confused...I just use Kazaa.On Kazaa I usually just download programs. I don't download music from it here.I usually just buy the album. I have this thing were if I like the first single I wait until the second single comes out and if I like it I buy the cd. yup! Sometimes like with Vanessa and Ev I just bought the cd. Somethings you just have this gut instinct that it is going to be good.

Post by: jlmusicchick on July 09, 2003, 01:43:59 pm: kazaa like it's going out of style

and if i like the band i'll go and buy their cd at the store-gotta support them somehow :)

i'd use winmix if i didn't have dialup, i hear that it takes a long time even on cable connection.....but kazaa is pretty good, i've been able to find about 98% of what i want

Post by: jessica73 on October 21, 2003, 08:22:56 am: Kazaa Lite. No tracking :p

If I didn't have that I wouldn't be able to hear the J-Pop and game soundtracks before I pay the import fee to get them. :? Plus, I can get live and unreleased tracks that I can't get anywhere else of my favorite groups.

Post by: Vultch on April 20, 2004, 04:21:50 pm: IRC Undernet made their servers more secure so you need an ident to log on, and my client doesnt have that so I cant use Undernet anymore. grrr I still have a little known IRC server I use for MP3s tho, it still serves me well.
