apologies if this happens to conflict with the rules of this board and I understand a lock as a result but...
Does anyone know of a good p2p that is free and can be used to find newer music? I still don’t find that torrent has enough.
I have been using Limewire for the last several years and it now blows. I tried Bearshare and it was great but eventually kicked me out for going past my trial time. And no I don’t wanna pay.
Now I know this remains a sticky issue but as a child of the 80's/ adolescent of the 90's, a very uncharacteristic Marxist view of music sharing became my norm. Why you ask? Because I spent way too many part-time job dollars on CD's that offered 1 or 2 good songs and filled up the rest for $25-30. As far as I am concerned free music was a beautiful revolution because these artists realized that they had to ante up more than a couple singles and a bunch of crap fillers to the public. Honestly I think p2p was immeasurably good for true music in this sense. Apologies to the Metallica's and Nirvana's of this world who put out great albums start to finish, (debate as you see fit).
If this is against rules lock it-but please no lectures on why this is wrong...whether you believe it or not I usually end up buying the discs of bands I really like and I pay WAY too much to see them live anyway. Also the recordings on Myspace and Purevolume sound like crap.
Thank you
