I used to go to WinMx, until all that legal stuff happend, now i don't download any music at all.

[ReptiZone]

well In canada it is all legal we have the loop holes..LOL hehehehehehe

[alex_33]

I use Shareaza, absolutely no ads and after using it for about 6 months, I haven't had any viruses downloaded onto my computer.

[HetForHuman]

i use mostly IRC, and newsgroups, to download mine...

[Scotty Allen]

I'd rather support the musician and buy the CD. If I like an artist, I usually want everything they do, not just one or two tunes.

[Matt_K]

I'm with Scotty, if it's an Artist i like, i have no problems spending the money for their CD.. Especially now that the prices are so low.. But if i DO download music.. I get it from www.suprnova.org

[TheRedDragon]

I used to use Kazaa, but, now I rely on my friend's FTP sites. :)

[Tim_Cranwill]

HMV, MusicWorld...

If I'm in a bind and need to download (usually only when doing a project for someone) , I use Kazaa.

Though I do admit to being HOOKED on Napster back in the glory days! :D

[Siretsap]

I would buy the cd if it's a canadian musician. To help our own, but for the others, I rarely download, I always end up listening to the whole cd and buying it if I like it, if not, oh well, ask for requests on the radio lol.

[lostwithin]

For downloading I use, Imesh ( www.imesh.com) its fairly simple, but when using any program I suggest downloading Ad-aware 6.1 its a free protection software, great little thing, cleans all the "hidden stuff" that come along with most sites and programs you download off the net. Its great. It can be found at tucows.com, the link below should take you right too it, if not just go too tucows and search for it. I recommend it for a Everybody. if you have a music download program or not, You’d be amazed what this thing finds that you didn’t know was downloaded too your computer.

I use kazaa, winmx and Irc to get stuff.

if it's a band i like, i buy their cd to support them, also, my car cd player is too old and doesn't play burned cd's.

I used to have an ftp server, but i moved and changed ISP's and stuff and never got around to setting it back up again.

KaZaa lite for me.....no spy ware or adds in it.

[Vengeance]

I use Kazza Lite as well.

I refuse to pay for music because of the fact, I barely listen to it as is, and when I do find a song I like usually I don't like the rest of the songs on the CD so I'm not paying for a CD that I'm only going to listen to one song from. If the musicans want my money produce better music, instead of just CD filler.

[Derrick]

I just tell people what I want and it usually show up on my server by the end of the day.

I hate looking for music there is so much CRAP out there

[guapote's gape]

I currently use a news service called XNEWS for most of the music + others. And I do agree that if I find an album I like I go out and pick up a copy to help support the artist. I like the idea of being able to try before you buy.
When I was younger I had a massive collection of Lp's( for the younger one's out there this was the media of choice for music back in the day, before cassettes Music was recorderd onto a vinyl disc that was about 14" in diameter, needed to be played on an turntable wth a needle) and hated going out and buying something to find out it sucked!
O' the wonderfull technology!

I use Bear Share. Its simmilar to kazza in the way it works and i like it alot and have no no problems with it yet.

[daver676]

WINMX here. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. It's pretty cool. Fairly simple to use. Lots of options and custom settings for really tuning your connection...

[CDN-Cresties]

If a like the artist, I buy their cds. I mainly download live material from Kazaa.

[Kyle Barker]

i find music from kazaa, and for some reason most of the music i like isnt in cd form (ie recorded at a party, not allowed to be realeased etc). I like almost every song i have heard but i hate the noise that comes out of their mouths, so i try and find the instrumental versions of them (seems very hard to find in music stores). If i find something i like i buy the cd (if there is one)...i have bought 2 cds......

i do searches like "music", "instrumental" to find new music, lots of crap and lots of half songs, but there are lots of good ones to make it worth while to me.

[crazyboy]

i go to www.sumfun1.com because i have dialup i hate downloading music because it takes so long.

[jay76]

Used to use newsgroups myself, because they were always posting music I'd never heard of before and couldn't get my hands on. Now I get music from my brother, and if I like what I hear, I make the effort to find and buy it. I'll support the artist if I like the music, and if I don't like it, I don't keep it.

i like all types of bands thanks to downloading all their albums, i go out and buy em. just like every other music fan. you can support them and download them. thats a single minded point of view. i have over 200 cd's in my collection, and i got into every single band by downloading, im young so i have grown up with the internet, and i believe the best way to get into bands or musicians is to hear their music first, am i wrong?

[alex_33]

I too would rather buy the Cd for a band that I really enjoy, for instance I have boughten 3 Sloan Cd's in the last week. But when I hear a cool song on the radio, I like to download it before I decide to buy the Cd.

[Lisa]

now i'm on dial up... slooooooooooooooow dial up.... so i don't download anything.
