[Flitwick stang]

What web site(s) do people use for down-loading MP3's?

[Mustangus]

limewire

[Rob]

Bit-Comet.....

You can choose files before download so you know what your getting.

[Incursus]

itunes and  cough utorrent cough

[HardRockCamaro]

iTunes

[Roadkill]

I don't download them to be honest . . . . . . .

I looked on itunes but their selection was utter $hite.

I don't bother, now - Just pick up albums for 99p from eBay then stick 'em on the P.C . . . It's alot cheaper then the itunes store.

I use itunes but not a lot, most of mine a ripped from albums i own or borrow from work

[Rob]

Let me know what you want off forum and I will get it for you

you guys using iTunes - how do you unprotect your downloaded music so you can play it on anything? DRM or whatever it is..  i heard about burning to a cd then putting back on to the computer - but hassle, also looked up HYmn project or whatever - but it doesnt work as it cant find my fairkeys or w00t... so what do you guys do or do you own ipods?

haha

it says "kill it tonight" could not be converted becuase protected files cannot be coverted into other formats

booo!!

[55starchief]

well thats due to the licensing that apple pays to the performers unlike the mp3 sites that dont.

Guess you need to get an ipod then

[Cunning Plan]

dang.. thanks anyway - ill keep at it

[FUBAR]

i'd still rather buy the CDs from the shop, they aren't normally that much more expensive.

[EDGE]

they are when you only want 3 tracks off an album

[Cunning Plan]

Edge - www.hymn-project.org apparently can unlock the music but they are waiting for someone to break the new algorhythum (sp??) of iTunes 6 ..  apparently it works if you have an older version of iTunes but if you install 6 and try to downgrade to 4 etc the server will know and not unlock..  

stupid itunes

what site does everyone use to DL legal mp3s then?  limewire is pants now!!!

booo!!

Ahh yeah if you buy from iTune you cant convert, I've only bought a couple of tracks.  You can burn to disk then rip again...tis what I did.

[HardRockCamaro]

I don't bother unprotecting the files I've bought.

I own an iPod thus I don't need to worry about it.
Especially as I can buyn CD's to listen in the car and can have up to 5 computers registered to play the songs as is.
For me the DRM is not a problem.

If it was, I'd just a burn a CD then re-import it back in.
It's hardly any more hassle than buying a CD and importing that anyway.
