music downloads where/how?

trebor · 15-04-2004, 16:00

My first question shouldn't get me into trouble, so, Where on the internet
can I legally pay for and download music that I can burn to cd?
I would like good quality and a price that is less than buying the tracks in a shop
after all I'm providing the media

all suggestions and alternative ideas welcome.

and now for the controversial part
allowing for the possibility that my first request is a hopeless one unless I want to move to america and use apple itunes, what file filesharing software works and gets results?
nobody suggest kazaa unless you have a working add free version.
nobody suggest buy online and let our blind illiterate postman try and find our house again (he just can't do it)

thanks

Only legal discussion/links to appear in this thread please.

Perhaps more limited in scope than you were asking for, but this is a good site to get music from.

http://www.ocremix.org/index.php

Of course, depends on whether you'd be interested in remixes of game music.

the makers of the edonkey network promote various artists on the main edonkey and overnet program page as u load the app up, they offer links to the tracks you can d/l. These links are also availble using emule - emule uses the edonkey network it just d/ls quicker and looks nicer

so id suggest start looking on the donkey network for some legal music tracks to d/l for free

The iTunes Music Store is supposed to launch in Europe this year, so you shouldn't have very long to wait. If you install iTunes you can already do everything the store allows except actually pay for and download the tracks - it's worth a go to get a feel for how you browse around and listen to samples and see videos.

If you want to buy music to download, use google, there are loads of sites, if you want to steal it, I can't help you (and before anyone starts, I don't care who downloads what, it's up to them, I just refuse to aid them in their conquest)

cough Kazaalite cough

No spyware or ad's in there. You can still find it about if you look hard enough.

EDIT: I'm not saying anyone should download anything illegal from that software either. Not that I'm for the music industry. If they put there price's down they wouldn't see so much illegal downloading anyway

Try AllofMP3
I would suggest the paypal method of payment rather than giving the ruskies your CC number

I have used iTunes before, and I can definitely recommend it. Cheap too.

keep the suggestions coming please.
a google search turns up a load of useless unknown stuff, but I am still working my way through the results. one of which was http://www.mycokemusic.com/indexFlash.html looks good for a single track but you can end up paying more than shop prices for an album
and the site only works with internet explorer. (tut tut)
I will check out emule later and the last version of klite I tried didn't work.
[edit]not on winmx and yes the queues are mad
