 Posted: 12:28 - 23 Nov 2009 Post subject: Best site for music downloads? |
 |
|
Right, for the 1st time in my life I have a home PC the broadband gets switched on tomorrow, and I'll be wanting to download music (primarily to replace a shitload of CDs lost).
So where do you guys recommend? I've done a search on here to no avail, and google don't help too much - how do I know which is good??
So yes, I'm turning to you guys to let me know of decent sites, legal, grey, or dodgy, which have a wide variety of music, are reliable, virus free and easy to use.
Thanks! |

mp3fiesta.com, 5 cents for most tracks (you have to input $20 to start your account). I've had shedloads from them, all good quality stuff, latest hits as well as older stuff. I use a 3rd-party program to manage my iPod, so no more dealing with iTunes trash software.  ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

www.btjunkie.org and utorrent.
Recording from youtube or other video sites is slow.
Cut price sites selling albums for download aren't legal, you're just paying some russian gang for something they downloaded for free.
Bit Torrent is the easy answer.  |

Getting the album for free is better than buying each track for 5 cents. |
For 5 cents per track (less if you buy the entire album) I avoid all the tedious bollocks and frustration involved with the shite that is teh torrentz.
Want a track...go to fiesta, find it, download it, listen to it, within 60 seconds usually. 5 cents, that's about three pence. Oh noes, the expense, I best go torrent it!
T1, I save the proper spelling for special occasions. For all else there's master...oh, hang on...there's the v, saving my karma-cookies from going into the red and getting auto-banned.

A Usenet subscription, combined with www.nzbsrus.com and www.binsearch.com.
Sure, I pay $25 a month for my subscription, but considering that in the last 18 months I've downloaded 2.6TB of stuff (music/games/films/applications), it's worth it in my opinion. Downloads are always at my maximum speed, and the amount of content is staggering. |

I will never understand the attraction of Usenet, you're paying to steal something... that doesn't make sense.
It's not hard to have your connection at maximum speed. Using torrents isn't some weird black magic, anyone who's half competent using the internet should be able to pick it up quite easily.  |

yes but on torrent you aint guaranteed to get max connection speed you also may be waiting for days for that last little bit of the dl you need to complete. and you also have to upload etc to keep the peeps happy. And the retention is way way less.

Found both and downloading both.
Judy Collins is seeming a bit slow but I spent all of about 2 seconds looking for a torrent. If it was something I wanted then either I'd spend a bit longer finding somewhere faster otherwise I just leave it running and in a few minutes it's done. |

If someone searched a few months ago then they'd have found two of those torrents.  |

I guess I got fed up looking after the first ten.
Fiesta, it's always just one click away. 5 cents. Simples. ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |
