Music downloading????

[cdog]

Who do you use and why? I used to use kazaa, then that whole lawsuit thing spooked me and I uninstalled it. Now it says it's legal? What? Not really sure. Is the kazaa light better. I don't mind payin to skip the spyware. Your thoughts?

I used to use Kazaa but now it is too much of a pain in the ass to get complete songs, avoid viruses and spyware. You should just go the legal route, itunes, musicmatch, real, etc.
When you download some songs in itunes or any other for that matter, you can burn them to a cd and then re-import them as mp3 thus avoiding the restrictions on their format.

I have bought songs from music match but have not tried to burn them yet. Can you burn them in a MP3 format on a CD?

I was looking at the itunes site last night, do they have anything you want? I listen to a lot of punk and not so common music?

Is it still illegal if you dont share any music? I moved all of my kazaa files out of the shared folder. Does that work?

I am not sure if you can burn music mathc files as mp3's I know for itunes, napster, and real you have to burn the cd as music then re-import the songs as mp3's. Once you do that you burn a data disk or MP3's.

You will probably not be hasseled but keep in mind that the RIAA has a bunch of servers setup that have music shared (all of the songs are fake or incomplete). When you download music they can capture your IP address and possible come after you. If you really want to use Kazza, use Kazaa ++ which has IP masking and don't share any music.
PM me if you want the program as I have it on my web server you can download.

Have any of you used this application?

After downloading m4p's from iTunes, you can use this application to scrub it and convert it to mp3 format.
I haven't used the new JHymn yet, but I used the old hymn application. It changed m4p's to m4a's and then you could import them back into iTunes to convert them to mp3's. The new version looks like you can convert m4p's to mp3's without importing them to iTunes. I did a quick test of it and I could play the converted mp3 on my Windows Media Player.
I'll let you know how my mass conversion goes.
Happy trails,
