|

What's up people, the time has come where I would like to be able to get music pretty easily and .... free.
What do you use and is it actually any good? I've heard of things like limewire etc, just wondering if you lot could reccommend anything.

Get Spotify. It's free and you just search what you want and play it just like youtube but for music.
It doesn't have all of the music you might want but there is a heck of a lot.

Yeah I have heard good things about this spotify..
Can you download the music into your media player or is it more like a listen to / last FM type thing.

what.cd is supposed to be good, but i got an invite, downloaded 1 album and fucked up my ratio in doing so. I seeded it for 2 months without downloading anything else to try and get my ratio back up, but i never budged. My account then got deleted due to inactivity |

I get most of mine from MP3fiesta.com, though recently a fair bit from ripping Youtube clips.
I read an interesting article while on the dumper at Pab's gaff, talking about the lamentable 'dumbing down' of the quality of music tracks. The standard iTunes bit-rate is 128kbs, compared with around 1100kbs per CD track. The difference in quality, when played through a decent system, is quite horrific. And apparently the only thing keeping producers producing high-quality stuff is the proportion of audiophiles still prepared to spend decent money on kit and high-end tracks.
MP3s were originally created as a way of overcoming low-bandwidth internet connections, the old dial-up technology. Now it's just down to tossers like iTunes being greedy and saving on their server loads and bandwidth. I mean, 78p for a 128kbs track that sounds like mushy shite? 78p! Even my old ears can tell the difference between 128/320/1100. And yes, it does make a difference. The hairs go up on the back of my neck with certain tracks at 1100kbs.
Food for thought maybe...come back the £11 CD, all is forgiven? ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

I just use www.katz.cd for my daily needs such as films, TV shows and music. If i can't find it on there, i just search the couple of warez forums that i look on.

Very similar argument as to when CD's overtook Vinyl, which according to many is much higher quality still than CD, but again, less reliable, less practical and more expensive.
Unfortunately, people are wanting stuff cheap, and easy, willing to pay cheaper prices for poor quality, rather than paying for high quality items. |
Probably higher on the first handful of turns, with a brandnew needle, but after that a declining performance. ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |

Are any of those legal? I don't want to go down the illegal/no royalties route, but could do without increasing my CD collection due to space issues. ____________________ My other bike's a Monster... |

iTunes store is now 256kbps or 320kbps on the Plus stuff.
I have a friend with very similar musical tastes, who buys a lot of CD's, and I just borrow them and rip them ____________________ 1998 CB600F Hornet |
