music for the masses

[Manji]

question. which program do you use for downloading music? limewire, kazza?

[Libby]

I use to use limewire, but it fried my windows, so I dumped it, and now I just buy the albums.

Edit ~ Are we allowed to talk about this?

[Manji]

*shrugs shoulders*

[josh]

BitTorrent.

There's nothing in the rules about it.

[Big Rick Cook]

TORRENTS!

[JPS]

Nothing in the rules, the closest I found was

4. Pirating software, ROMs, Emulation
The open discussion of media file exchanges is permissable as well as some cases of emulation discussion; namely those programs that require the game CD to operate. But all other talk of illegally obtained, pirated software is not tolerated anywhere at the Pavilion.

Although the software isn't pirated, these programs are used to obtain pirated software, music, and other things, but I guess it's a loophole in the rules

But then again the rules kind of contradict theirselves a bit on this subject

1. This site is for all legal US versions of RPG Maker
...If you dare post a link to a download of the illegal software, or a site that offers it you will be banned the moment the staff sees your post.

Although a site pointing to pirated software is a reason to be banned....shouldnt any software that allows for pirated files to be obtained also be banned?

Just my thought...

It's a videogame site not a music site.

I generally buy used CDs, but if it's something weird/rare (like all my Toroidh albums) I'll use BitTorrent.

[Big Rick Cook]

I bet Valk has personal objections to it.

[Red Dragon]

BitComet, Valkysas told me about it and I used it ever since.

[Caciss]

Soulseek

Almost exclusively.

[Kit Carruthers]

Soulseek. Sometimes torrents.

[jvrlopez]

Soulseek. Mostly for the rarely stuff.

Though I hate not physically having albums. I buy them if I'm really into them.

Burned CDs are stupid.

[Goufunaki]

itunes baby! But just mainly for one or two songs I like. If I want the whole album I will buy it at a store.

[altoecko]

Soulseek or I buy the album.

[Tex Ritter]

If I buy something it's vinyl, because I'm an enormous douche.

Otherwise I just use Soulseek.

[JPS]

It's a videogame site not a music site.

true but you can also use these programs to obtain illegal RPG Maker software, its just the same as posting a link to a download isnt it?

btw I use LimeWire:lol

[jvrlopez]

Shame on anyone who uses Kazaa and says its good.

[Chad]

iTunes.

But I used BitComet to download some of the odd 300 cds I had stolen.

[JPS]

^kazaa sucks, the only thing its good for is contracting viruses and mass spyware:lol

Um no, saying you use limewire to download music is not the same as posting a link to a download.

I'm on the fence to the whole thing. On the one hand if you're gonna prevent talk of one type of piracy you should do it for all types, on the other I don't necessarily agree with us being anti-emulator in the first place. But it's a political decision so I roll with it.

I generally buy albums but get individual songs off Limewire. I'm to much of a technophobe to get into torrents.

[JPS]

yea im on the fence on it also, I dont really care, I use LimeWire all the time, so it doesnt bother me, if Valk don't care then I guess I shouldn't care:lol

If I want an album I just find the album playlist and download every song and burn it....bam a $15 cd free, I can deal with that:lol

[Riotsword]

I'll use LimeWire once in a while to get a song or two, but usually now I just borrow music from my friends and rip it onto my compy. Seems to get me by.

[Hyper Dingo]

I'm on the fence to the whole thing as well......actually not really i just like saying that.

[John Mora]

I use torrents. :3

I'd say something but it's the free forum :P

[The_Real_Crunk]

I actually go out an buy the CD if I actually like alot of the songs that band does. If theres only 1 song on the entire CD I might like, Im not gonna blow $18 on it. :lol

[Maijo]

I only buy albums from bands I truly <3. All others get the DL.

[Big Rick Cook]

I only buy albums from Hot Topic to show how awesome I am. I download everything that I'm ashamed to let people know I listen to.
