Best place to download MP3s?

Hi,

I just bought an MP3 (only 5 years after everyone else did I know) but can someone tell me the best place to buy/download MP3s from.

I went to one site and downloaded a free MP3 and it put all this (yucky)adware and spyware on my computer.

What is a reliable place please.

Thank you!

Safest place to download from is your own computer. I assume that you are looking for legitimate downloads (he said with his official hat on)?

I like using Limewire for downloading individual songs. www.limewire.com

But don't use it to download whole albums cos it will play as one file right through and not as individual songs.

To download bigger files like albums, use Bit Torrent. You need to first download the Bit Torrent client and there are loads around, but sticking with the official version is fine at www.www.bittorrent.com

Next you have to go to a torrent indexing site to find the files. www.newnova.org and http://thepiratebay.org are two main ones.

Some people will say it's all illegal and stuff, but don't worry about it. It's just scaremongering. Hundreds of millions of people don't give a damn cos you have more chance of getting run over by a bus than getting caught. It's like worrying that your plane might crash everytime you fly.

Do read up about P2P though. Check this site: www.slyck.com

Download to your hearts content, I say. Happy downloading!

Peep...is Winmx still going strong? Since it went down, I didn't bother to download the patch that allows you to still use it. Despite all the flak it use to get, I loved Winmx. I use to be able to find any song I wanted, which is not the case with Limewire. I guess I need to update my Winmx then.

You really don't see any difference between committing criminal acts and being the victim of an accident?
