P2P music software

[Jaged]

I recently formated my HDD because of some lame windows shit. I had been using limewire before to get my songs. I just realized I don't have any music downloading software installed and I need some. I remember limewire being bundled with spyware. What P2P music software do you folks use?

[Infernus]

Funny...

I don't have spyware problems with limewire.


Anyone care to offer an explanation. <.< >.>

[Mag-Mower]

I use limewire, and have had no issues with spyware either.

Torrents. Then again I don't download song per song but rather album per album or hell even the entire discography.

I know this is taboo here but I actually pay for it. try it. it always works.

[Giovanni]

Most of the time when I like a band I go out and buy their album...

I sometimes also get advanced copies from upcoming albums from friends in Montreal that are in the music business...

[OneManArmy]

yea buying cd's is good. I use yahoos service and I love it, I can find 98% of the songs I want. and they get new releases fairly quickly.

[Giovanni]

I hate the iTune thing (or whatever other service). I test drive an album first and if I like it I buy it... simple as that...

Buying individual songs annoy me... just for the fact that I want to enjoy the entire album... sure their might be some songs I don't like but... meh! I rather have a hard copy of my music.

Torrent > *

but it's all blocked here in the dorms.

However this thing called ourTunes let's us download stuff from people, when they have thier libraries shared.

As far as buying music, I don't buy anything from big labels, but the small/indy ones deserve my money.

I tried to download a 350mb torrent file from my dorm last night, I thought it wasnt going to work, and I left to go to the bathroom, I came back two minutes later and it was done.

Torrents and ***181;Torrent.

Generally speaking though, I buy my music. I haven't downloaded one illegally in a few weeks or something.
