Does everyone here just use Kazaa as their source of ripping music/files, or do you use something different? What do you like the best? What are your thoughts? Any imput is sweet!

I still go with newsgroups if I ever need anything (I haven't in a long while, though)

Nix that, I don't want to help someone pirate and steal music. It might seem "cool" to be screwing over the RIAA, but in reality you are really screwing over the artist. If their albums don't sell, then they get dropped by their label and won't be able to create music anymore for you to listen to.

how do u use irc? and which program to get?

if you have to ask that. irc isnt for you.

I hate it when people say that. You probably learned how to use it from someone else. Just be nice to a newbee and help him out. I kinda know how to use irc, but i wish someone actually taught me how to use it first. I think that most people on the forums here are capable of using it... but it makes it a heck of a lot easier if you're taught.

ok. since everyone is yelling at me. ill help

go here and d/l mirc which is an irc client

next you have to goto the various servers, such as dalnet, undernet, efnet and so on

then you can do the '/list' command to bring up all the channels for the particular server and each channel has different commands and steps to get the files from them so i cant help u there.

if u want to search for files go use this site linky


other than that i cant really help much more.



as u can see its not really a simple process and you usually wait in a long que to get the files. but irc is the fastest way to get to releases and what not.

What client you want to use is a matter of taste, I use mIRC. You'll also find all the info you need to get started from that site. Basically just install the client, connect to a network and find a channel.

Look man, (read: [LikeLinus]) you're on crack. People buy albums if they like the artist. My friends and I own every damn Pink Floyd album there is (well, post Syd anyway). I wouldn't have a ripped Floyd album to save my life. But on the same hand, if I gotta buy the whole PearL jam album for one song, <^>'em. I"ll just use Kazaa, or whatever else. In the case of Pearl Jam, it wouldn't be hurting anyone be/c they've put out mostly crap forever now anyway ;)

And, Kazaa could make Britney or NCrap or any other bubble gummer get dropped, then please show me how to do it :)

No matter how shitty their music is. No one has any right to steal it. If your going to steal music, don't bother defending what you did. Its illegal. I do download music illegaly, but do you see me running around going 'Look at me! I stole from the RIAA! w00t! I am so cool!"
