fineleg Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Here is a sample among the bigger list I'm looking for: 1. beatles greatest hits 2. bee gees greatest hits 3. kanye west - stronger 4. mika - relax, take it easy 5. Justin Timberlake-My Love(Paul Oakenfold vs DJ Boca remix) 6. Rihanna - Umbrella HQ remix 7. Deep Dish featuring Stevie Nicks - Dreams (original video) 8. Silence - Sarah McLachlan? remix 9. if you're not the one - david beddingfield 10. anastasia songs I'd like to download mp3 versions of these songs to burn into a CD, or download to PC/ or player etc. Can I get a list of good websites where we can download these for free? (Please warn if it is controversial ones like Napster - I dont want to run peer-to-peer illegal ones - just websites where I can download)
Mandrake Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 No free lunch I guess.....there is a way though. Try napster free membership. Download the ones you want. The only problem is their songs are drm protected so the moment your free membership expires you cant play those songs. However, you can find drm to non drm convertors and keep as many songs you like:D
fineleg Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 No free english songs eh? Hmm...we are able to download Indian music free easily :D (so many websites where u can download indian songs) But when it comes to English songs it is tougher...letz see if other members know any info...
fineleg Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 so thats ur choice of songs a partial list...i have a bigger ongoing list
Rajiv Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 ) Go to Google's Advanced Search Page: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en 2) There are 4 blank fields at the top of the page. In the first blank, "with all of the words", put whatever song/artist/style you want to find. 3) In the second, "with the exact phrase", put "PARENT DIRECTORY". 4) In the third, "with at least one of the words", put ".mp3 .wma .ogg" (any file format you want to search for you can include here). 5) In the fourth, "without the words", put "cd debian linux" (this helps filter out useless pages). 6) Search!
fineleg Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 ) Go to Google's Advanced Search Page: ", put "cd debian linux" (this helps filter out useless pages). 6) Search! Thx Rajeev...whatz the above command? interesting...

Holysmoke Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 download it from the internets :hysterical:
The Outsider Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Any torrent site would have all these and more, but do it at your own risk. Unlike Hindi/Desi stuff, the companies take copyright violation much more seriously for Western music/movies.

Yeah, I dont want to get into illegal trouble with Western music...after the bad press and rap and issues arising outta Napster in general. Thatz why I'm a bit hesitant on those "DRM unconverters" mentioned above as well. Where do you folkz get Western music? Dutifully paid at iTunes? Elzwhere?

Torrents are a bit different from Peer to Peer and are a much safer option legally because you are not downloading the entire file from one source, but different chunks from different users simultaneously creating an alibi that you did not download the entire file but just bits and pieces of it. As for me, there is hardly anything in modern English music which I like and have my Classic Rock and Western Classical collection on purchased LPs and CDs in addition to some downloaded stuff from torrents(given that none of the music I enjoy is really hot these days, it's kind of not under the scanner of most companies). I mean, who the hell is going to sue me for downloading stuff like Good Times Bad Times and Black Mountain Side!
fineleg Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Also, for quite a few of the songs I am looking for Re-Mixes (harder to find Remixes than original). What are the paid download sites? 1. iTunes (do they contain remixes) 2. Any other reputable paid good download sites comparable to iTunes in quality and reputation?
kumble_rocks Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 All right , the hard and legal way to do it, would be - 1. Download vixy.net , beta version for PC. 2. Convert youtube videos into audio format using this s/w. This always works !:two_thumbs_up:
Dirty_South Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 What.cd & Waffles.fm are dedicated music trackers ...
coffee_rules Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Recently, a girl student was arrested for downloading songs which violated copyright laws. It is a federal crime. Both the service provider and the user are liable. So, do it at your own risk. She had to pay something like $5000 in fines.
