Are newsgroups a good way of getting mp3's? If so, which ones should I be looking in? So far I've yet to find good groups that have new singles and such.

Thoughts?

Newsgroups are a good way of finding entire CDs. I haven't had much luck finding new singles and such.

I heard from this one guy one time on some street in this one place by a bridge that you can get mp3s from usenet. I didn't know what he was talking about though.
a.b.s.mp3.prog
Xnews, filter=mp3

did you try

alt.binaries.recent.rock.tracks ?

Maybe your ISP doesn't carry that one...

Funny, if this was a Kazaa thread the OP would have been flamed and there would have been a plethora of I B T L posts. I guess piracy isn't the problem with Kazaa. The problem is that Kazaa isn't geek enough ;) Who knew.

Oh, and allofmp3.com > newsgroups ;)

Edit: You know, it would really be nice if this stupid forum software would actually tell you what forbiden words are in your post instead of just leaving you to guess.

There's very little you won't find on usenet. You can also try IRC.

BTW, what are you looking for?
