what does everyone use these days? i'm thinking of getting back into it again - after napster closing & moving i stopped. but now i'm spending so much money on new stuff without trying it out first. e.g. bogdan racnaski - bought his new album last week - its interesting at times but not something i needed to own! |

eh weird |

Soulseek is best for electronic stuff... Quite a nice little community of users as well... |
||||||||
|
|

morpheus is quite good. i like how it allows you to chat with folks that you download from/upload to. |

I have always found WINMX very reliable..... |

|

THAT link worked just fine |

Morpheus has been getting a better selection lately and the dl speeds are great. Soulseek is really good for that rarer electronic stuff though. |

downloading music is morally wrong. those poor artists need to eat you know. |
||||||||
|

|
|
if you love electronic music, why rip off the artists? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
coz i can't afford to buy every single record i want. i also try and download a sample and then buy it if its good enough. if its good but not that good i download the album and keep the mp3's think i'll try Soulseek, thanks guys |
||||||||

I like to download a couple of tracks to see if it's worth buying or not. There are so many albums i'd like to get that i have to choose between them as i can't afford them all. Also i download tracks that are deleted and impossible to buy. So that's hardly ripping off the artist is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's exactly what I do. It gives me access to artists that would never (or very seldom) be played on the radio or have videos on TV. |

Downloading music IS morally wrong. Victory to Metallica. Hail Lars, hail Lars |

Jonesy: Sorry, you're wrong, it depends on the honesty of the individual. If you can truthfully say you wouldn't *buy* it you aren't ripping anyone off. |
||||||||

|
Yeah it's about time we started taking lessons on Morals from rock stars. They are so wise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Trevorgod, you're right. I look to Motley Crue, Poison and Bon Jovi to guide me on the proverbial moral path |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I take drugs, wreck hotel rooms and whore myself to corporations. I am a saint, dont't steal from me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not really. All property is theft. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its stealing - sure it doesnt matter to elton john, and it doesnt matter too much to aphex but it does matter to people like wagon christ cylob etc . it makes a huge difference to these artists who only subsist on money they make from music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Here here. I've changed my mind. Lets give loads of cash to the record labels and artists. I mean where are they to get the money to buy their tanks, houses in Wales and bank vaults? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I would download the Rockstar's music and I would also bang his hot wife. Call my actions "morally wrong". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bang his wife? As in shoot her with a gun? Bang, bang you're dead, there's a bullet in your head. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Oh and btw, I use Morpheus and Kazaa. Kazaa had more Squarepusher back when I wanted to get my hands on some of that. that's about all the comparitive data I have. |

you all bite the hands that feed you. i hope yu all rot in hell , bye bye forever muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha |

Jonesy: Houses in Wales are not that expensive! It's not like having a limo or anything (unless it's in Llandaff or Abergavveny) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Thanks mate, that's lovely, but at what point, i wonder, does a struggling artist stop being glad of the chance to share his music with new listeners, and start decoming a paranoid moneygrabber? ..and to be honest, if Wagon Christ, Cylob, et al were that bothered about making pots of cash they'd go straight for the commercial stuff instead of making music which they like, but which doesn't sell millions... |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

Houses in Wales are getting expensive. I saw a programme on it. Wealthy people are moving from the south of England to buy up properties in Wales, hence the hostility to 'English immigrants'. Plaid Cymru can make political mileage from the frustration of the rural poor in Wales. I don't like the way Cardiff is going. Every time I go home they've erected another monstrosity to attract more business. They're trying to create a European city and its looking worse every month. Sorry this has turned into a rant. |

Oh yeah, we were talking about music right? I agree that artists with integrity make music for its own sake and not for money. However we all have to live and pay the bills so money inevitably has to come into the equation. I just get pissed at rich pop/rock stars who make millions and then appear on charity records/concerts asking for our money. Its such a bloody cheek. They've got their heads so far up their arses that they can't see the contradictions i.e for them and their record companies to be rich, others have to be poor. If about two or three of the fuckers got together they could probably wipe out the third world debt of about 20 countries. But then again the people we talk about are hardly of the same ilk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, i've always thought that about charity records, and charity gigs. And they're such bad entertainment. If all those dreadful Live Aid artists had come up with the money between them they could have saved us the Trauma of having to listen to that crap. Actually i'd have paid them not to do it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
support local artists and friends who make music. it's worth the money. fuck robbie williams, madonna etc. Why give them anything more than just listening to their (shitty) music?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its tough to draw the line between artists who are "rich and don't need the money" and independant local artists...that's why I feel all music that you listen to should be purchased |
||||||||
|
|

|

i tend too... pick an artist... for example recently, Pole... i downloaded 12 random pole songs, burnt them too cd and spent a while listening too it... and now on my agenda, im going too go buy, pole albums, because i love it. |
