Music Download site

[Farneyman]

I am looking at starting a digital music collection.

What is the best site for legally downloading music and does anyone here use their blacberry as a music player and how hard is it on battery life?

I use Limewire for individual songs and Pirate Bay for albums. Never tried through my phone though. Good luck

 

[Farneyman]

Is limewire not full of virus's.

 

[brendy]

Yes, yes it is.

Itunes and Napster, though Napster works like a jukebox as well as downloadables.

 

[Gazp]

Can't get on Limewire anymore due to an injunction taken out against them

Is limewire not full of virus's.

Never had a problem, but will defer to those who know more than me! Last used about a month ago so guess the injunction has kicked in recently.

I use itunes to buy music but also tesco and spotify are good too. I use my blackberry bold as a mp3 player. It works very well and the battery life is pretty good too. I need to buy a bigger memory card though as I only have space for 2gb of music on it at the moment.

I've used Limewire for the past 3 or 4 years and never had a problem.
Although it's a waste of time telling you this I guess because Limewire is now down the tubes courtesy of an injunction as previously mentioned.

The cheapest way to legally download music, I've found, is through this site.

It'll tell you which is cheapest, whether it be iTunes or another.

Yeah Limewire is well dead. so the ingenious youth of today have come up with a solution

They go to youtube, find the song or video, and paste the URL into this website http://www.youtube-mp3.org/

it converts the file into a free MP3

if you require MP4 for Itunes, you use a MP3 to MP4 converter

Neat

I've always been an iTunes advocate...That is until I discovered Spotify Premium.

£10 a month and you can download and stream an unlimited amount of music.

I haven't used my iPod or iTunes since I started using it. I just download and sync all the music onto my phone (android) on the Spotify App and use that. Battery life doesn't take too much of a beating either if you download the music over wireless then play it from the phone when you're out and about.

If I had £1 for every time I've had to clean a virus off my lads computers when they've caught one through a p2p site, I'd have £4 now.

I'd not be rich but it's 4 times too many in my opinion. Why take the risk

pirate bay is an illegal torrent site aswell

Hi I listen to music and audiobooks from audible for about 6-7 hours a day using my blackberry curve. I find it great although apparently the quality could be better, not sure sounds ok to me but I work on a pig farm and can hear pigs in the background! As for battery it lasts all day fine and I charge it overnight but occasionaly forget and there is charge the next day but probably not enough for another days music. Hope that helps
