when limewire and all that shit evaporated i stopped downloading mp3s from prorgrams like that cuz i was nervous of my computer catching ANOTHER virus.
now everybody either listens to the songs they wanna listen to on youtube, or they pay for the song/digi album on itunes
so my question is, are people still illegally downloading music these days,,,what programs people be using?

I will get albums through the pirate bay…or at least I used to. I haven't attempted it since all that shit went down with them and the government or whatever happened. Single songs though I now buy through amazon as I am one of 348 people in the world who dont own an ipod. I totally would go back to stealing them if I had easy access though just for the record.

I usually listen to my tunes on YouTube, torrents, or on my phone. beemp3.com has some shit.

i use blogspots which usually have links to mediafire rapidshare or another similar site downloading entire albums is allot easier than getting songs individually

I usually just download one song or something. Not as much as the whole album though, don't have the space for it on my computer really. And I'm usually downloading songs to put on my phone and listen to in my car.

I made my iPod exclusively for songs and albums that I can't buy physical copies of easily (out of print or unreleased). I use torrents as well.

I generally buy physical alblums, but if I download music, it's usually legit. I've only illegally downloaded the neden game and boogie woogie woo because the version of Milenko I bought didn't have them and I wasn't about to buy an album I already owned for like two songs.

so are there any good p2p programs similar to limewire that y'all would recommend?

frostwire.com is the file share program i use, you go to the site, download that shit. Call it whut you want but I've completed SOOOOO many arists discographies with this thing. If you do do the torrent download for whole albums you get no viruses, but i also have a real-time scan. Try it out

i plugged my phone up to my car stereo the other day to listen to mp3s and the quality was NO WHERE NEAR what an actual CD sounds like.

this is why i fear for the 'death of the cd' days. mp3s are so ridiculously compressed that even if you bump it through a blaupunkt, it still sounds like earbuds.
the problem here is that most people either dont have sharp enough ears, or dont know any better, and they think it sounds fine.
ive actually taken the trouble, with a few songs i like but cant find on cd, to remaster it myself. its time consuming, but with dynamic eq and a couple slight filters i can sometimes pull it off.
awfully paranoid, arent you?

I never had a problem with a song sounding shitty in quality. Look at bitrates, 192 the better I say. Anything less you're gonna get a pretty shitty audio track.

192 is still less than 1/7 of cd quality. like i say, for most people, theyre not gonna know the difference, but for me, that doesnt come close to good enough. everything still sounds real thin.
another factor here is the increasing trendiness of heavy compression in the studio. engineers are stretching out every single freq band [especially for pop music], all in an effort to fool your ear into thinking the songs louder. thats why half the people on the radio sound like theyre singin through a cardboard tube.

cuz your getting shitty quality rips. get VBR or lossless rips. only scene releases also.

vbr introduces too many artifacts, and the mp3 format is inherently lossy. by the time you approach lossless with mp3s, the file size is as large, or larger, than a wav.

I'm just saying I know I can hear a difference if the quality is off. Songs on my phone playing through my stereo sound fine, but that may be because I put in new speakers 2 months ago.
