downloading music

[matthewtaylor]

i used to love the old napster because i could type in the name of a song and find an amazing remix. Does anybody know any sites/programs where i can get underground remixes etc? for example, i never knew where to get dangermouse's grey album..

Beats the crap out of itunes(don't fall for that scam).

What about that Russian download site that is 5 cents a download? I use Limewire, but I only download stuff that is rare and out of print or not on vinyl.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

That would be allofmp3(unless there are other russian sites like it). It's not 5 cent per download though, but it's still good. They charge like 20 bucks for 1gb of music and you get to choose format and bitrate yourself.

[kiz]

get "soulseex" for mac. it's the same network and easier to setup.

IRC for 0-day. at least 2 weeks before it hits stores and torrents.

"it's just a phase and you know damn well that you'll fall off in a minute cause that shit don't sell"

IRC is great for scene rips but for non-scene, personal rips, nothing beats Oink.

Soulseek is seriously dope for all those hard to get shit but the queues take years.

yah but good luck getting a membership and good luck keeping that membership if your computer doesn't upload very fast and then good luck complaining about losing your membership and being sad!

[super]

yes it's true that they have this rule about upload but hey, I didn't get banned yet because other people have share ratio's of just 0.01! My ratio is just 0.2 but in my 6 months on Oink and my 3 months on indietorrents, I have yet to get banned.

bizarre, because my share ratio was higher than that...maybe it has more to do with the amount you download vs. your share ratio, as well.

or maybe they're racists.

[sam79london]

I'm not very technical so please forgive me if this sounds like a dumb question...

How do you join oink.me.uk?

The homepage doesn't seem to tell me how!

Also,

Everyone is talking about SOULSEEK - how do I go about using that?

Another vote for oink.me.uk / indietorrents.

I used to be a big IRC guy myself, but the scene rips get put on these torrent sites as soon as they hit IRC for the most part anyways, and you never have to wait or look too hard..

Plus you can make requests and they are usually filled pretty quick!

As long as you leave your torrents open you wont have any ratio problems... you gotta give back what you take, it's only fair.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

So.. anyone feel like inviting me to either site?

You need an invite to get on Oink or Indietorrents (to prevent people working for groups like the RIAA and MPAA from getting on the Torrents), and the upload/download ratios are enforced (by banning users who don't upload as much as they download) 'cause a BitTorrent network only works if people seed files. To get a good ratio try encoding a few things and uploading the torrent file yourself.

soulseek for underground and rare music. torrentspy.com for mainstream stuff (way faster than soulseek)
