site to download songs?

[babycheeks]

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a good site to download music from? I have used Kazzaa in the past, and I had many computer problems as a result:(.

Are there any good ones that don't have spyware etc?

Thanks for your help:)

I've been using WinMX (http://winmx.com/) for some time with no problems.

I second mawil's suggestion. Take a read here (http://www.dengo.batcave.net/) to learn about setting it up...;)

I have been using WinMX plus NapMx, and Audiognome for several years. I also use KaZaA Lite with no problems. As long as you do not upgrade KaZaA, you should not have any problems. I have it installed on several computers, and all work well. Not like old times, when you could get a ton of music, but better than a poke in the eye:p .....

I too use Kazaa lite...and they just released an upgrade to version 2....so no more nag to upgrade from the Kazaa site....also use winmx...and found a new one called shareaza have not tried it much yet tho....

myself, i wouldnt touch kazaa with a barge pole, winmx all the way, why dont youvisit www.winmxcommunity.com for all the answers you require. good luck

I was informed from a very reliable source to stay clear of the KaZaA upgrade. For one thing, it is full of spyware. The Lite version, which incidently, not available anymore, does a great job.

If you think kazaalite is ok to dn/load and use? Take a close read at their temp site(they say main one is down??). Especially the disclaimer page. Then take a VERY close look at the very bottom of the page my link sends you to...:rolleyes:

http://www.kazaalite.com/

I set kazaalite up on my experimental PC so that i could see first hand what it was all about. I dn/loaded one song that was listed as an mp3(Bing Crosby's Jingle Bells) dn/loaded just fine. When i went to the shared files folder to check it out,,it had a file extension of AVI . Needless to say, i did not open the file and deleted it and removed kazzalite from the PC.

Personally,,i wouldn't touch anything kazaa related even if wearing a radiation proof suit!!!

Wow:)

Thanks everyone for all your great advice and replies:)

I am staying clear from KaZaa, and will try WnMx.

Thanks again,

You know BC... one resource that hasn't been mentioned for mp3's is usenet (aka newsgroups) Depending on your ISP's retention there can be a huge archive of music at you fingertips. Outlook express can be set up as a newsreader.. you'll need the news server address from your ISP.. and you may find lots of stuff you'll like..

Try groups like --

alt.binaries.sounds.1960s.mp3
" " " .1970s.mp3

In fact if you do a global search for groups with .mp3 in the title you'll get tons of stuff.

Here's a page that shows how to set outlook up as a newsreader..

(You probably would not have to logon/enter a password for your own ISP's newsgroups.)

Don't use your real name or email address for privacy reasons.. if you should ever decide to post a message you would want to remain anonymous.

I don't know I used to use iMesh before, but my computer was getting a lot errors so I decided to uninstall it. If you want you can download it for free on www.download.com !But I'd prefer using KaZaa!
