MP3's

OK I know I am about to say something really stupid, but I am going to anyway.

Does anyone know of a decent site for MP3's. My brain isn't computerally tech-no-logically aware enough (or patient for that matter) to successfully operate these file sharing what-some-a-doogies.

I am just after a half decent site that I just click & download shit from - something that doesnt open a million and one new windows that all direct you to porn (naturally).

Or am I just naive to think that such a site exists.

Most such sites no longer exist, since it's very easy to have such sites shut down.

If any sites like that existed, they don't now. MP3 sharing is, strictly speaking, illegal. Breach of copyright. Doesn't stop people, but it means that any website that set itself up as a source for MP3s like that would be closed down as soon as the people who owned the songs got wind of it.

WinMX is easy enough to use...I'd recommend you get that *nods*

Oh I am really feeling inadequate now.

I have WinMX but it appears not to like me. It seems to be forever finding its network connections *frowns*

Upgrade *nods*

Whenever a new version of WinMX comes out, after a week or so, all the old versions can't seem to get at the servers *G* So go to the site and make sure you have the absolutely most recent version *g*

Whoopee!! WinMX actually decided to work tonight for the first time ever. :thumbs-u:

Maybe my humble 'puter detected that I was about to beat it madly to within an inch of its cyber life?

Now I just need to figure out how the hell to use it.........

Not all MP3s are illegal, there are those which you can freely download. Some artists have their own MP3s up on their websites. And usually these are cool versions of the songs.

Oh yeah, good point *g* Yes, there's sites like mp3.com.au that have tracks up with the permission of the artists involved. Usually smaller groups, but some big artists have mp3s on their webpages for the sake of their fans.

Do a search at mp3.com.au for the Drowning Hitlers *giggles* Very funny stuff...
