Just wondering.

What FREE software do you use to get your trial music ?

I have been using Kazaa for a couple of years, but it seems to be drying up. Bit Torrent is great for albums, but not singles.

What are you finding works well?

I'm using eMule now. seems to work ok.

iTunes.

Kazaa Lite Resurrection - For one off singles
Soulseek - For full albums and rare stuff
Grab It! - For binary newsgroup files
Real Audio Wav Recorder - For saving streaming files
Shareaaza - For bit torrents

...and various top-secret websites.

I refuse to use itunes in the UK. They are ripping the british off, overcharging compared to Europe and the US. They refuse to answer any media questions asking them why.

espew.com doesnt have much but it has some cool rare stuffv:)

You pay the monthly sub for Shareaaza? Or is there a nice "lite" version to be found?

WinMX

I didn't realise that was still going. I gave up on it a couple of years back, because all I ever did was queue. Has it got better?

I'm on some password-protected servers. Only like 20 or 30 people with DSL connections or better, but with big collections. Depends on how you use it I guess.

With a leech-hammer program, the main servers can be pretty good. You have to share, though. A lot of people have programs that boot you or queue you over and over if you don't share.

Kazaa Lite.

I found a page that someone had put up with some older versions of it at no charge.

It ain't bad.

I preview albums and singles. If I don't like them, they don't stay on my computer. If I do, I buy the record. Capice?

VoicesCarry said:

That's what everybody says.....

jayaredee said:

Go f*** yourself, then. With the amount of shit I buy, no one's gonna call me a thief.

VoicesCarry said:

OMG, nice use of words. calm down child.

jayaredee said:

You're in Toronto, I think we should have a fist fight

VoicesCarry said:

No i think we should shake hands and meet up and listen to music together. You dont have to get mad at me, nor take me seriously.

jayaredee said:

I'm not. Why else would I be winking at you?

VoicesCarry said:

So you live in Toronto, do you go to school, work, whatnot?

jayaredee said:

I'm in London. School. You?

VoicesCarry said:

Well im in Toronto, in school taking business admin

Emule is the best. You can find pretty much anything there.

I've been to Toronto before!

I went to the Eaton Centre and I shopped along Bloor Street.

But they give you demerits out there if you drive too fast on the highway.

Sharingthegroove.org is good.....especially for bootlegs and actual concerts. I haven't used it in a while though,cuz it was down due to reconstruction.

I've never paid anything to Shareaaza. I didn't realise that you have to. It just sort of works.
