Just curious,
what is everyone favorite P2P file-transfer(for music)? I.E.
-Blubster
-Kazaa
-Piolet
-E-Donkey
-Lime Wire
-Soul Seek
Etc......

Kazaa Lite (or Kazaa++) for windows
Acquire for OSX

I prefer Soulseek becacuse of the Download Folder feature for getting full cds. However, It is a memory hog and does not download from more than one source.

There are just to many fakes(large blips/distortions throughout the songs) out on kazaa, it gets really annoying. Especially with newer songs!!

where can I download soulseek or aqualime? Anyone...

have you tried google?

There's links to most of them on Zeropaid.

You could consider paying for music. Maybe you spent all your money on your empeg car player though.

I remember when a thread like this would have gotten flamed...

Indeed. You think maybe the tactics of the music industry over the last year or so have turned so many people off that few will bother to defend them anymore?

Not that I really want two threads on this disgusting topic, but..

This forum is for general discussion pertaining to the EmpegCar/RioCar player and accessories. A topic like this, while not at all appropriate for this BBS, would be better suited to the "Off Topic" section, if anywhere.

The reprehensibility of the music industry's actions do not make infringing their copyrights any less illegal.

Funny thing, nobody selling Fleetwood Mac concert recordings from the 70s, or recordings from the shows in the last Led Zeppelin show, for instance.

Buying music is all fine and wonderful if someone is willing to sell it to you. I have a pile of it. Buy, rip, store. Now, where do I get the other stuff?

Never said it did, just that people may care less about it because of their actions.

In any case, I, and the original premise to which I responded to, appear to stand corrected.

Thread moved.

I would like to remind people that sharing links to pirated software or music is against the BBS guidelines.

Discussing "what is the best peer-to-peer software", while bordering on a gray area, is still fine as long as you stick to discussing the relative merits of software. If you wish to use this forum to tell the world that you use P2P software to pirate massive amounts of music, that's your own lookout, but you should expect to be given a hard time about it if you do.

I would venture a guess that most of the users on this particular BBS prefer to buy and rip their own CDs whenever possible, for the same reason I do: Much better quality control. In fact, I think we even did a poll to that effect once upon a time. Anyone have a link?
