Music downloads

Post by joltinjeff »

Over the last couple of yrs. I have been using Limewire to get the songs on the band's setlist to make CDs and other stuff.
I just got a new computer yesterday and i am trying to decided what would be better...limewire or frostwire or look into something else. In the past Limewire has downloaded viruses which i was fortunate enough to catch...
I would like my fellow RPers to give me their opinions in what is the best way to go on this.

Thanks

He means going out and hand-buying CDs, which would cost a fortune and coat the record labels' pockets. Of course it's nice that the creative minds behind the music get a few pennies and all. I just wish there was an easier way to get the money we pay the label to go directly into the bands instead

+1 more. It doesnt kill ya to pay 99 cents for a song, at least the musicians might get a nickel of it.
Laugh if you want to, really is kinda funny, 'cause the world is a car and you're the crash test dummy.

ITunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, hell, even Walmart.com sells tunes at 99 cents per song. Don't forget to check SoundClick to find something up and coming that you might like, tons of free downloads and other DLs are 99 cents, and you're putting some cash (52 cents per song) in the band's pocket instead of the label's pocket.
Dood...
