Where can I get mp3 files?

[FoBoT]

they have those down at the truckstop

 

[Gusty987]

Ok, now I have a different issue. I have some mp3's on my hard drive but they are in like a 192kbps bitrate. What is the easiest way to reduce the bitrate to like 64kbps?

Why in gods name would you want to do that? Do you have any idea how bad 64k sounds? 192k is the minimum I will download. Even 128k is pretty bad, but 64k? Might as well record songs off the radio onto a cassette then hook up a mic from your computer and put it up to the speaker of $5 cassette player and record that.

Could it possibly be because he wants more songs in the limited amount of memory his MP3 player has?
:roll:

I'd actually suggest using 64kbps WMA files instead of 64kbps MP3 files. Windows Media Player can convert them. Do your own listening test and decide.

Exactly. Can you tell me how I would change the mp3 bitrate with Windows MP?

exactly. I'll accept 128k oggs but not 128k mp3s...

 

[Gusty987]

Ok, I was able to convert to 64k with Windows Media Encoder, thanks tk149

They are evil, evil I say!!!

Like... duh!

Only idiots download for a buck a song when you can buy the real CD for about the same price and then rip it to mp3 yourself.

And I'm 99.9% certain that allofmp3.com is illegal.

I've never seen anything saying it's illegal, no RIAA press release, newspaper article, nothing. If there is one please point me in that direction.

You can legally buy/download mp3-songs from this site if it does not breaks the law the national legislation of the country in which you will be during that moment.

allofmp3 operates through a loophole in Russian copyright laws. The service is legal for Russian citizens to use, but almost certainly illegal in the US. Going out on a rather strong limb, I'd say that the only reason the RIAA hasn't taken action yet is because the service is still quite new.
I'm not saying that I support the RIAA (hardly!) or disapprove of allofmp3.com (I don't), I'm just concerned that some people have acquired a false sense of security by thinking that the service is legal in America.

Some of you people need to take a chill pill. Poor guy is asking for help and you're assuming he's an idiot. As if you were born with that knowledge of yours :roll:

Yea, but it is not like the end users are going to get prosecuted.

The RIAA would have a hard time getting a judge to buy that i think.

Besides, the RIAA already went after allofmp3, but the Russian Courts laughed them out of the country. (insert "In Soviet Russia..." joke here)

the difference between 192 and 128 is negligible. Honestly though, if you want CD quality you just have to buy the CD.

I don't see the whole point of paying allofmp3.com, the whole point of paying for music is so that people who produced it get their due compensation. I highly doubt that the guys who run it are paying anyone but themselves. You might as well just go download it off torrent and save the money.

Anyone know of a legal mp3 service that specializes in electronic music?

Thanks!
