Default OT - music downloads

OK peoples....I received an MP3 player and am looking for sources to DL music...free would be good. I realize that many of the original free sites are now charging. Is limewire the best deal out there? (39.00 flat fee for life.....unlimited DL's)

I am also wondering if there is a way to load CD's in my puter and then DL to the player...do I need extra software?

Thanks for any advice......

most music programs like windows media player allow you to load your mp3 players with your music you have already placed on your computer. yahoo music is another one that i have used as well.

I "heard" that if you use at bit torrent client such as "Utorrent" & a torrent site ( i swear i "heard" these were the good ones )
http://isohunt.com/
http://www.youtorrent.com/
you can ummm uhh illegally download all the music you want, as a matter of fact a "friend" of mine has about 200 gigs of ill gotten booty thanks to these sites. if you do use torrents just check when the window opens b4 you down load the files that they are .mp3 & not flac or ogg or .wav

if you get a program called "freerip" you can quickly & easily change cds to mp3, if you have any other ?'s pm me 'n i will consult with my "friend"

there is also a lil winamp add-on called stream ripper....which allows you to easily rip mp3s from the internet radio stations you're listening to via winamp.....and, for now anyway, legally........tho the mp3s can sometimes be 'chopped' at the end, etc...from some stations more than others

torrents are pretty cool, too...a...friend..of mine says...and not just for mp3s. He claims to have watched The Bucket List via DVD at home 2 weeks before it was released in theatres.

John, I do understand the issue. From MY end it has nothing to do with who....far more to do with how on posts like this. In an ideal world, people would post only in forums set up for posts like they're making. If that happened ALL the time, the JS Today forum would have no more posts than several other forums. But it doesn't. And since it doesn't, the other forums are less likely to be as frequently read. Now, had Rich not put OT in the title, I'd be more inclined to move it. But he did...it's not a busy day where the thread muddled anything. If Troy had made the same post, believe it or not I'd say the same.

Rich,

I see some people have given some great advice thus far... Windows media player allows you to "rip" music from CD's and convert it to mp3 with little to no effort on the end user (you), as far as programs that allow you to download music for "free", I have always been a big fan of Ares, my friends use frostwire and utorrents, but I haven't found them to be any better or worse than Ares, you can pick it up from http://aresgalaxy.sourceforge.net/ just remember bud, you get what you get when you try and uses these programs.

I heard this from a friend too.

( I....my friend watched a dvd quality version of the Bourne Ultimatum 4 days after it was in the theaters. It had the Paramount stamp on it....but was watchable!)

No kidding. Some A holes spend the time to tell someone they are wrong and in the same time could have answered the question. IDIOTS!

Rich go to Limewire.com or let us know what songs you want and we can email them to you. I have a huge library including our song we both enjoy a lot.

let me guess what you guys song is? when we make love by alabama...

There's a light in your eyes tonight
You know I'd know that look anywhere
You've got plans and I'm one lucky man
Before we get so carried away
There's just something I've been wanting to say

When we make love
It's more to me than just an affair
I want you to know how much I care
When we make love
Oh it's such a precious time
We share our hearts, our souls, and our minds
When we make love

Watching you make your little moves
I can tell it's gonna be a long night
All day long, we keep holding on
It couldn't be any better than this
I got it all at my fingertips


When we make love
It's more to me than just an affair
I want you to know how much I care
When we make love
Oh it's such a precious time
We share our hearts, our souls, and our minds
When we make love

These moments.....these feelings.......Mmmmmmm

When we make love
It's more to me than just an affair
I want you to know how much I care
When we make love
Oh it's such a precious time
We share our hearts, our souls, and our minds
When we make love

Now let's make love......Sweet love

I am betting if its not Opps I did it Again By Brittney Spears it am guess it is:

Don't Stand So Close To Me by the Police



Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabokov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

I was thinking it was "My Best Friend" - Tim McGraw

I never had no one
I could count on
I’ve been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin’
So tired of searchin’
’til you walked into my life
It was a feelin’
I’d never known
And for the first time
I didn’t feel alone

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend, oh yeah

You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You’re right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble
When we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend (my best friend)
You’re my best friend (my best friend)
