View Full Version : Does anyone knows a good mp3 site?
TruthSeeker 06-23-02, 12:27 AM Those mp3 sites in the net are usually terrible...:mad:
I tried for more then 3 hours to find a good site and I found nothing...!
Even worse when you are trying to find themes from movies like Highlander, MIB, Star Wars and Dance with Wolves (the real ones, not the fake ones... :mad: )...
Or if you are trying to find themes from TV series like The Simpsons, Bewitched, Three Stooges and so on... (the same problem too...:o)
After a while it gets really boring and stressing...
Does anyone know a good site to download mp3s of movies and TV themes?
Clarentavious 06-23-02, 11:14 AM Well Mr. christian, I'll have you know that is illegal.
But in any case, to help you, have you tried Napster? That proggie is about 5 years old and has had incredible success (with pirating music). It is proly still around if someone hasn't managed to shut it down.
I've also heard of WinAmp, but I think that is just a proggie for playback and decoding (not to look for MP3's).
I don't listen to much music or DL much of the web, so I really wouldn't know. But you might be able to find alot of MP3s at big sites that also distribute movies.
Kenshin 06-23-02, 03:45 PM KaZaA. Download it at CNET.
Porfiry 06-23-02, 03:52 PM The Bearshare client to the Gnutella network is about the best way to get MP3's if you're using Windows.
kazaa is good for movies and software. they have a maximum of 128kbps bitrate allowance for mp3 though :mad: (it's medium or just below it quality).
I used to use Audiogalaxy but it is down now.
Today I downloaded Limewire (www.limewire.com) and blubster (I think it was www.blubster.net)
or if you want kazaa for movies and soft use www.kazaalite.com it is a version of kazaa with no spyware
EDIT-> kazaalite was closed down, use the url Odin provided:) http://doa2.host.sk/
Clarentavious 06-23-02, 04:15 PM Oh great, now we have a new person here promoting kazza
those who pray shall receive and those who seek shall find :bugeye:
(so says the lord in his holy book)
or to interpret it in my own way
those who buy shall receive and those who seek shall find for free
why are you so alarmed about this Clarentavious?
and you were a baaad boy suggesting Napster to Nelson, it is known for some time now, tht Napster is copyrighted now. And everybody knows tht Winamp is an audio player used by 90% of people.
Clarentavious 06-23-02, 04:47 PM You see I don't know these things, I don't keep up with that kind of crap :D
IMO, it can't be a good idea.
By far the best place is the news://alt.binaries.sounds. hierarchy on usenet. You can get just about anything there.

A bit off the thread, but isn't this from "Blade Runner"...love the quote and agree with it. About the only thing missing in my life is the chance to see some of what the Hubble photographs through my windscreen, up close and real time :( ...maybe next life...

Bladerunner it is. One of the best SF films ever made. Forget ST, it does not come close to Bladerunner. And yes. I agree with the sentiment.
I posted it before and I'll post it again:
www.afternapster.com
tallest 07-02-02, 06:39 AM After Napster died I used Audiogalaxy for a while, until I realised that it was absolutely loaded with spyware. However, as soon as I had removed all the offending modules, Audiogalaxy also shut down.
I've tried dozens of apps, but the only one that I have now is Blubster (free download from www.blubster.com). It has no spyware, will resume broken downloads and is easy to use. The only drawback, at the moment, is the relatively low number of members but the number of users is increasing steadily. As no central servers are involved it will be very hard for the music industry to act against it.
Of course, the argument remains that file-sharing of this nature contravenes copyright laws. Whilst this may be true in most countries, there is as yet no international protocol for dealing with large numbers of people sharing files from their PC across the globe.
For my part, 99% of the mp3's that I download are tunes that I already own on vinyl or cassette. As I have already paid for this music once, and no longer have a turntable or cassette deck, I feel perfectly justified in having a digital copy.
Good luck
:D
Captain_Crunch 07-05-02, 08:18 AM i can remmember back in the days of napster, it was amasing- had resumable downloads and chat rooms. I recently remmembered napster and went to the napster website - all they do now is sell napster t shirts. such a shame.
Napster (http://www.napster.com/ ) you cant even download any software of anything now. Why does somepeople not like KaZaA - its cool once you have removed the cydoor and all the other spyware loaded in the bundle. you need to search for aftermarket progs now that kazaalite has been closed as Avatar says.
I have never said that kazaalite is down. It's ALIVE (MUHAHAHAA) simply their website was down for a bit because of the original KaZaA. KAZAALITE works and is in good health. kazaa stil has a lot of spyware.
Napster was shut down because of RIAA and US court.
Captain_Crunch 07-05-02, 11:18 AM they tricked me....lol, i went to the kazaa lite site and it was down and i just took it for granted that it was falling in the footsteps of napster and audio galaxy and had closed.
kazaalite site may be down, but not the soft.

Viva l'Anarchy!
Clarentavious 07-05-02, 12:03 PM I admit being sneaky can be fun sometimes :D , but what sort of thieves are you?
You have the money for powerful computers, but can't spend $10 on a CD at a store to listen to the gods you worship like brittney spears?
If these people and their voices and tunes are so meaningful to you, why aren't you willing to pay to hear them?
Piracy disrupts the world's economy and money market, making things that really need money (like humanitarian disasters) harder to deal with.
1. Money is lost due directly to the piracy (sales that should be there aren't, and instead transactions are made through things like napster)
2. Disruption. Different parties don't get what they were expecting because people didn't buy the stuff they were "supposed to" Bad example, but....
If Death Row Records corporation had at least 10,000 fans they knew would buy snoop doggy dog's lastest album, they might make plans on that. What they didn't plan for was half of that number getting it free from the internet and not buying it in stores.
If death row promised snoop a certain amount of money, and they don't get it as a result of piracy, snoop's going to be pissed. Contracts get breached, stocks fall, all kinds of things.
3. Policing/enforcement. Now we have to pay money for specialized task forces to fight piracy. This takes away from our budget. We also end up with things like Safe Disc, which, prevents (or at least tries) me from backing up my games. So when a CD slips out of my fingers, falls, and hits the floor; scratched and no good anymore, that's $50 down the drain as I have to go out and buy a new one.
I admit on sparse occasions I've given my friends copies of games, but it is very rare, I don't go out to Naspter a few times a week to download the lastest song.
And there's so many of you people doing this. Does the world really need more of this? Get it together folks, maybe lighten up on the greed....
You must be in America,they are £14 = $23.1 over here!but I don't buy them or download them.
My Daughter buys them!
Captain_Crunch 07-05-02, 01:30 PM the record companies are the ones that are theives: they only give the actual bands something like 50p per cd that is sold but charge people £12. Now you are going to say if people dont pirate the good old record companies will bring down their prices- i would'nt hold your breath. Bands like britany spears dont deserve to make money from singing - you cant call her music music. (thats only my opinion)

i'm a communist, i think that capitalism needs shake-ups now and then to make them realise how wrong it actually is. I doubt if humanitarian disasters will be dealt with better if people stopped pirating.
capitalism is the answer, but nowadays the problem is that it is improperly managed.
Captain_Crunch 07-05-02, 02:04 PM socialism is the answer! lol.
I have lived in socialistic/comunistic country for quite some years. You wouldn't like to be in my place, believe me. If you were you'd know that comunism/socialism brings only misery and suffery to the nation. It doesn't suite for human natue. It destroys idividualities and nations. In the end - noone has money, except for the morons at the top.

we should get the 'communism the way ahead?' thread going again. where did you live?
look under my name, damn communist:bugeye::rolleyes:
:D
Captain_Crunch 07-05-02, 02:51 PM oops, did'nt even see that.
must destroy capitalism. hey...we need damned communists in this world. lol
