  • eeunicee:

    try www.legalsounds.com, it’s a nice site with a variety of songs that are not expensive.
    hope that’s alright =)

  • Scott H:

    I suggest looking into the sites listed in this limewire review

  • sun f:

    Try TubeHunter Ultra which downloads Music/Audios and videos from hundreds of video allotment webs to any format you want.

    ===========================
    TubeHunter Ultra downloads YouTube/Myspace/Metacafe/Dailymotion videos to PC/iPOD/PSP/ZUNE/MOBILE

    Download huge and best musics here at: http://suv2007.mp3center.hop.clickbank.net

  • sj:

    http://www.ez-tracks.com/
    its free and 100% legal

  • brnwve:

    Technically, P2P programs aren’t illegal, it’s the stuff that’s on it that’s illegal. Since the record companies haven’t given their consent to distribute their songs freely, it’s illegal to do so. If you distribute a song you wrote and recorded on a P2P network, it’s not illegal because you’ve given consent to share it. In essence, this allotment isn’t illegal either, because it’s the same as recording a song off the radio or letting a friend borrow a CD. The record companies are worried because they reckon it affects record sales, so they take legal action to stop it.

    It’s possilbe to get caught using a P2P network like Kazaa or Limewire, by tracing your IP to your service provider, and having your service provider give up your name. Or, they can find you by doing a whois search online and find your name and address. Of course, it’s near impossible for them to do that with everyone. So they chose a few people here and there to pursue, hoping to scare off the rest.

    Be sure to have a descent spyware and virus program or you can scan online free in multiple sources. Make sure you know about safety because many peer to peer networks have viruses. The link not more than has many resources including free antiviruses.

    Top P2P programs in order of popularity

    1) eDonkey / Overnethttp://compnetworking.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=compnetworking&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oldversion.com%2Fprogram.php%3Fn%3Dedonkey
    eDonkey/Overnet is a state-of-the-art P2P file allotment software system. Especially well loved in Europe, the two P2P networks eDonkey and Overnet combined support a large base of users and files. The eDonkey P2P client connects to both networks; the Overnet client is being merged into prospect releases of eDonkey. eDonkey runs on Windows, Linux and Macintosh computers. The free version of eDonkey contains embedded advertising but none of the dreaded “spyware” found in some free file allotment software.

    2) Shareazahttp://www.shareaza.com/
    Shareaza is an up-and-coming P2P file allotment program. This client offers an extremely powerful search engine capable of connecting to multiple well loved P2P networks including eDonkey, BitTorrent and Gnutella. Shareaza file allotment software includes intelligence for detecting fake and/or corrupted files. The free Shareaza download also contains no ads or spyware. As the installed base of Shareaza client users grows, expect Shareaza to become an even better P2P file allotment program.

    3) WinMXhttp://www.topshareware.com/WinMX-download-13747.htm
    WinMX offers a large P2P file allotment network and a feature-rich client program that has evolved over years of development. Right, WinMX has a reputation for being complex and more hard to use than some alternatives. But, WinMX also provides power to users in managing their downloads, and it offers a wide selection of music (MP3) files. Some WinMX users report waiting in long queues to download well loved files. WinMX software runs only on the Windows family of operating systems.

    4) BitTorrenthttp://www.bittorrent.com/download
    BitTorrent is another free P2P software application. It has attracted a loyal following among those interested in allotment movies and television programs. The offical BitTorrent P2P client generally does not support bandwidth throttling, meaning that it will tend to monopolize a network connection and not allow surfing the Internet or otherwise utilizing the network while files are being downloaded or uploaded. A freely-unfilled alternative BitTorrent client overcomes this limitation.

    5) Limewirehttp://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
    The Limewire P2P file allotment program connects to the Gnutella P2P network. Limewire client software is widely recognized for its clean user interface that does not contain adware. Sometimes billed as the “fastest file allotment program,” Limewire claims to offer relatively excellent search and download performance. Free Limewire software downloads are unfilled for Windows, Linux and Macintosh operating systems. Limewire Pro pay clients also exist.

    6) Morpheushttp://www.morpheus.com/download.asp
    Morpheus P2P client application downloads exist in both free and paid Ultra versions. Compared to the free version, the Morpheus Ultra download additionally removes bundled advertising. Morpheus clients are capable of searching Gnutella2, FastTrack, eDonkey2K and Overnet P2P networks.

    7) eMulehttp://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1
    The eMule project started with the goal of building an improved free eDonkey client. eMule has achieved a large user base, connecting both to the eDonkey P2P file allotment network and a few others. It contains no advertising, and its software base is well-maintained by an open source development team. The chief limitation of eMule’s P2P file allotment program is its speed: eMule typically performs downloading much slower than other P2P clients.
    8) Areshttp://aresgalaxy.sourceforge.net/
    Ares is a full-featured free P2P network with its own file allotment programs including Ares Galaxy. Ares clients support decentralized music and other file allotment and include a built-in chat service. Ares strives to offer the simplicity of Kazaa clients with no adware and quick connection era.

    9) BearSharehttp://www.bearshare.com/
    The BearShare P2P file allotment program is a well loved free software client for the Gnutella P2P network. Both free and pay downloads of BearShare file allotment programs exist.

    10) Kazaahttp://www.kazaa.com/us/harvest/downloadKMD.htm
    The Kazaa software family (including the Kazaa Lite family of applications) has been the single-most well loved P2P file allotment program / system of all time. Kazaa is quick and simple to use. But Kazaa software and the FastTrack network it utilizes appear to be declining rapidly in popularity and availability of files. Some have criticized the intrusiveness of “adware” embedded in free Kazaa clients. Others have complained about the frequency of encountering fake files on FastTrack.

    http://www.torrenttyphoon.com/

    http://www.torrentbox.com/torrents-browse.php?news
    Torrentbox.com Update: like Isohunt, Torrentbox is being sued by the MPAA as of February 28, 2006. The days for this fine search engine may be numbered.

    http://thepiratebay.org/
    The Pirate Bay (Pirate Bay, by readership size, is the most well loved torrent search site today. Pirate Bay has an immense database of 360,000 torrents, the third largest database after Isohunt and Torrentspy.)
    (May 31, 2006 update: The Pirate Bay has been shut down by Swedish authorities. Details are unfilled on the Pirate Bay home page.)
    (June 2006 update: The Pirate Bay has restarted operations, now that the police have duplicated the PB hard drives for forensic purposes. Delight in this database while it is subdue around, folks!)

    http://www.torrentspy.com/
    Torrentspy.com offers over 420,000 torrents in its database, the largest torrent index that is readily unfilled to the public. Delight in it while you can.

    http://www.mininova.org/
    Mininova.org has 150,000 torrents indexed as of December, 2006. Mininova is the successor to Suprnova, one of the original huge torrent databases of the Web.

    http://www.isohunt.com/
    Isohunt.com
    January 22 update, 2007: Although Isohunt was suddenly shut down by its original ISP before the weekend, the administrators have relaunched the service on a new ISP with new hardware. There are subdue problems, but Isohunt does live for the time being. The MPAA lawsuit is slated for a March summary judgment, so make sure you use Isohunt now, while you subdue can.
    January 8 update, 2007: Isohunt has near 400,000 torrents in their database. Also noteworthy: any Isohunt torrent listed as “ISOhunt release” means that it is a file verified by the administrators…a nice feature to help you locate authentic torrents and not fake files. On a sad note: Isohunt is being sued by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for copyright infringement. If you want to use this tremendous Canadian site, you better use it while you can.
