Downloading music

[Matt_H]

Hey guys what are you using to download music off the net like web site?. I was using Audio galaxy but it mdoesn't let me or any of my friends to download. So i was wondering what your using if anything and how it works thats. Also the URL would be nice. THANKS
Matt

Im usein a program called "WinMX" you need windows to ue this thoe. You also need "WinAmp" 2 play the songs on. The URL is here. Im downloading 3 songs rite now and with a regular phoneline there going around 5.-- K/S so its prety fast(better at night when not so manny people are down loading :D). I love it and its been said to be the best for your computer. Pluse you can download any thing off of it. I also heard Kazza's prety good but wouldent no. ;)

(Wow I though I was the onley one on rite now!)

I have corpenic and it stinks, so I am gonna try WinMX.:)

Morpheous is pretty good. Win mx is better though. Kazaa has been linked to many problems where I work.Many of the techs have to work on kazaa screwed up computers.

I use Kazaa, and have never encountered a problem while downloading music. Its easy to use and very fast. The only thing I dont like is all the ad pop ups, but I heard you can get Kazaa "lite," where there are no ads.

Blubster gets my vote.

2nd on Blubster - pretty close to the original: Napster

kazza, i have never encountered any probs with it but i know my school has when kids downloaded it to there computers.

 

[MrLuckey]

WinMX gets my vote - mainly due to the millions of users and therefore the availability of almost anything. Never tried Blubster though - is it available on ZDNet or similar? Any idea how many users they have?

I thought I liked Morpheus until I tried WinMX - hated limewire, hated swapnut.

I still, and always have, use Bearshare.

 

[marcusgunby]

A vote for kazaa lite-easy to use-normally about 2million users online.No problems with the pc.

 

[MoO_coW]

Kazza, morphius, lime wire, etc. etc. all search off gnetella so there basically the same besides the interface, I prefer Kazza though. Audiogalaxy use to be awesome but its shut down now :whiner:

 

[singletracker500]

I use WinMX. Lots of options for downloading, and they don't put any spyware on your computer like Kazaa.

 

[NukEmAll]

Chalk up 1 more for KAZAA. I currently have 2,510 mp3s on my harddrive, most of which were downloaded with KAZAA. :aj:

Grokster.com. Don't install any of the "extras" just the download software. Music, movies, etc.

I started with Morpheus but got fed up with the "new" version so I went to WinMx. I like it except that I have trouble downloading software so I installed Kaaza. I use them both, but kaaza seems more user friendly.

back about a year ago, I tried Kazaa, and thought it wasn't very easy to work with. I heard about Limewire, and have used it ever since...works great, no problems. Kazaa may have improved since then, but at the time Limewire was way better.

I've used napster and Bearshare. Latest one is "IMESH" easy, fast, and even if you shutdown during a download, it picks right up where you left off when you log back on.

www.imesh.com, best 1 out there :D

Do any of these work for mac? I've tried every one mentioned and
all of them seem to be only compatible for PC. What are mac users using these days?

 

[Milk]

Roostmaker:

I left a message for some guys here at the Univ. that support only Mac's. If anyone knows what prog will work, it will be them.....Ill post or PM you as soon as I hear from them.

Roost:

Just got a call back.

If you have OS 9, LimeWire will work. It has featured other than just mp3's as well. It also works for OS 10.

If you have OS 10, Gnutella will work as well as LimeWire.

Hope this helps,

Milk

Thanks milk! I only have OS 8.6 but we should be uprgrading to at least 9.1 real soon
so I'll give those 2 a shot when I upgrade.
