Can you recomend music download programs.
Hello everyone.
I want to know what program you are using that works the best for you. I had Kazaa but it really screwed up my pc . I had to erase my hard drive. To much viruses. Now with a firewall I am still scared to go back to it.
Any replies appreciated.

hey Jon if you look 3 threads down you will see another thread titled "online downloading sevices - which one" your question has already been answered in there.

Wow. I have Kaza and have never had any issues, except that I sometimes download songs that people mess with so that you can't download them :-(, I was recommended to it because it was legal and I think I paid like 36 bucks for a three year membership. Maybe it was the version you had? I uploaded to a new version (the older one did give me some viruses), but since, I haven't had any issues.
Re:Can you recomend music download programs.
Gynger, hate to tell ya this but for your $36 you bought the program, not the right to copy the music. There has been a lot of questions here in the forums lately about this.
So, let me paraphrase the whole thing...
Downloading music is illegal, end of story. There are things you can do to protect yourself to keep from getting caught. Whether you choose to use those ideas or not is up to you.
For the most part the cd police won't come banging on your door, but please be aware that if you download you always run the risk.

Ya know......most ask me why I use it, but I got iMUSIC from apple. You need Win 2000 or XP do use this app........but it's not bad at all.
Nice also if you have a iPOD, cause you can 'sync' them up to bring your new music from your desktop to your pod.

I dont like KaZaa either. If you can put your hands on Kazaa Lite, thats the way to go. Its the same thing except you don't get all the adware. I think Kazaa sued them so I think it might be hard to find
Give WinMx a try
Re:Can you recomend music download programs.
Save up and buy a MAC or Change your PC's operating System to LINUX. Anything with Window's or Outlook by Microsoft is the Hackers prefered target. Changing your OS removes 90% of what's out there.
I just bought a MAC and I tunes works great even thou selection is limited.

Re:Can you recomend music download programs.
I have Winmx, it's pretty good. Haven't used it that long, or all that much, but so far so good. You can find almost any kind of music on it. My downloads are slow, but I don't have Hi-speed internet. It was 25.00 dollars.

Re:Can you recomend music download programs.
be very careful downloading any of the music sites.
Re:Can you recomend music download programs.
You have to make sure you are getting the right version of whatever program you are downloading. I use soulseek, which is european.
I got it from download.com. If one of the programs are a little smaller , they prob don't have spyware.
Re:Can you recomend music download programs.
I have kazaalite...
LOVE your quote Juliette..DAMN!! :10: :thumbsup:

i agree with madgrad..LINUX is the new way to go. It is all freeware (legally) :bouncey: If you decide to go along this road of freeing yourself from the microsoft giant :shocking: , I suggest that you use the RedHat/Mandrake versions (most user-friendly for a newbie).
Now Windows does have the best office suites, but LINUX is quickly :bump: catching up. Many corporations have/in process of switching over.
Oh, but you were asking about music downloading. I use limewire for single songs that I might want, but I am a full album kinda girl, so, I usually stick to bittorrents (sp). Have fun.
Re:Can you recomend music download programs.
www.winmx.com its free and you get cd quality mp3's plus dvd quality movies like shrek 2 garfield chronicles of riddick and all the latest movies i swear by it and good ass software if you need to learn how to use it you can message me id be glade to help. once its downloaded join one of the groups in chat for faster down loads. like movie hustelrs. its the group im down with on winmx but not under this screen name. plus winmx is better than kazza winmx files are better quality and it wont mess with your bandwidth like kazza wich use's your bandwidth even when you are not using it and it comes with spyware winmx does not.
Re:Can you recomend music download programs.
Oh boy, oh boy... where do I start? Kazaa & KazaaLite are the worst places to download music. Sure its fast but there is to much s#@t on it. I remember when I had both programs and it took me at least 4 downloads to get the song that worked. Not to mention all the viruses I recieved. Next there is Winmx... huge selection but majorly slow when it comes to downloading unless you have high-speed internet access. The quality of the songs isnt that bad however not all files are available. Next there is grokster with which I have no experience however I have heard it does not come highl recommended. AND THEN... there is the holy grail of all download programs... its the fastest download program out there, impecable selection and you will NEVER EVER get phony or screwed up songs. I have downloaded about 900 files and I have never had a bogus track. Its not well-known and really only tech-geeks know about it. PM me and I'll give you the link.
