	Mp3 sharing progs etc. Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

i haven't had internet access on my computer for the best part of a year, and now that i do, there's a fair old wad of mp3s that i *need* to download. i've got winmx and soulseek, but winmx is crap for finding rare stuff and soulseek (which was never great for dance music anyway) seems to have gone crap for finding anything :/ (i have the latest versions of both programs)

so could people reconmend me some good alternative programs?

thanks

Depends on what kind of dance music you're looking for. I downloaded nine Hed Kandi albums from Soulseek.

You can always try Kazaa Lite or Diet Kazaa...

Kazaa Lite.
WinMX is only good to find top-20 stuff.

Kazaa Lite is what I use - no complaints with it at all. Works great.

Some people will tell you that eDonkey and/or eMule is better.

Google for any of these names to easily find the download sites.

yeah might give kazza a go.

i was mostly looking for trance, some of it pretty commercial as well, but couldn't find a thing on soulseek.

WinMX!! Dont let the network down!

By Kazaa you expose yourself a much greater risk of being billed. Not that it would happen. But it might just a little more

In my experience the ed2k-network is not very good for music. It's good for big files, although I prefer Bit Torrent.

soulseek. for full albums there is no better place. for electronic music, there is no better place.

yeah, but it's not that good when you can't find bugger all of what you're looking for

argh this is why i dislike winmx, i find a song i want to d/l, and the download is going to take a lifetime because half the free world has decided they want my 1300 mp3s!

"billed" like in "they make you pay for being a sucker and downloading instead of paying"

there is an upload rate limit in winmx btw
one that is not connected with your download rate btw
but of course we are all fair

There isn't the abundance of Kazaa, nor are there many single mp3 files, but entire albums and discographies are plentiful.

By billed with Kazaa, he probably means billed by the RCAA for downloading music you don't own. Not to mention the lawsuit and legal fees you'll be paying.

Why don't you alter your uploads to "zero allowed" while you download?

bittorrent is great for some things, give it a shot.

konspire is an interesting idea, it doesn't seem to be big yet, and i won't know really until i'm back on broadband this fall.

on that note, does anybody know a good program for finding k-pop and j-pop? hell, any asian music? nothing in the western world is good for it: kazaa*, slsk, bittorrent, konspire, freenet, locutus, winmx, limewire... nothing is good...

q cubved. the only jpop worth listening to is puffy and thats because of the great production values of puffy.

mrt: pfeh.

i like hamasaki ayumi (ayu), utada hikaru, nakashima miya, and amuro namie. smap's just like the backstreet boys.

in kpop (gayo), i liked yoo seung joon (who's no longer allowed in the country because he switched his citizenry to the us to avoid having to do time in the military (oh, the scandal!)), finkl, boa, and a few others. old ones like dj doc and clon are nice too.



it's damn hard to find them, either because of romanization, or they're on different networks.

finkl was the running joke among my friends at one time. but i do fancy them once in a while. speaking of japanese artists have you heard anything by cornelius. hes really a hoot.

finkl's great, although i don't get their name (fine killing liberty... ?) ever heard of ses or baby vox? hot, shinwha, un, cool, or up? plenty of them are fun to listen to, even if they are manufactured.

as for cornelius, no. korn the artist, however, is funny.

Newsgroups trump P2P in quality, quantity and variety. The only downside is that you have to wait for stuff to posted instead of downloading on demand.

I suggest reading some of the MP3 faqs and posting a request...
