The Outsider Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 So, I had around 30-35 GB of music on my computer, around half of which was on my iPod. The laptop had a fall and has got smashed - the hard drive is not readable. The part of the collection on my iPod is of course there, but that's only around half. Most of the music was downloaded from here and there over many years and copied from friends and most of it was old Hindi songs. My question is what's the best way to build up the collection again - which sites would have a lot of old Hindi songs for downloading. I generally avoid using torrents, but am desperate now and will do anything to build up the collection again. :((
The Outsider Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 Man that site looks like pop up central. Is it possible to download entire albums in one go instead of individual songs?
Sachin=GOD Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Best thing would be to ask a few of your friends - someone would definitely have a huge collection which you can take. Otherwise there are sites like Songs.pk, raaga.com etc from where you can download. BTW which singers are you looking for?
philcric Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Man that site looks like pop up central. Is it possible to download entire albums in one go instead of individual songs? Yes. There's usually link(s) at the bottom to download complete album.

Most of the stuff was from 50s to 80s - Rafi, Kishore, Bhupinder, Jagjit Singh, Ghulam Ali, Asha, Lata etc. Yes. There's usually link(s) at the bottom to download complete album. Thanks! Will give it a shot in the evening if I can survive the maze of popups.
StriKe Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Thanks! Will give it a shot in the evening if I can survive the maze of popups. Use adblock plus + firefox for temporarily.

The Outsider Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 Why don't you try fixing your HDD? Labor is very expensive in the US. I called up a few places and they were quoting $250-300+. Also, there is no guarantee of recovery because it's smashed up really bad - it wasn't a fall from a desk or bed, it went down an entire flight of hardwood stairs. Search in Torrents Any specific sites? bwtorrents and desi torrents used to have a lot of stuff. How are they these days? Would I need an invite because I don't think I've logged on to them for years and my account will probably be inactive. fmw11 dot net You can search by movies/artists etc Thanks. here are some torrent links: http://kickass.to/legends-15-cds-duets-of-lata-mangeshkar-mohd-rafi-mukesh-amp-kishore-kumar-mp3-320kbps-vbr-t5987938.html http://kickass.to/jagjit-singh-chitra-singh-ghazals-a-gift-for-lovers-t5053758.html http://kickass.to/mega-collection-jagjit-singh-a-to-e-akjam-t2410833.html http://kickass.to/audiobiography-jagjit-singh-t6548712.html http://kickass.to/kishore-kumar-394-selected-hindi-mp3-songs-uploaded-by-shared4all-t4386905.html http://kickass.to/ghulam-ali-superhit-ghazals-20-chart-busters-hindi-urdu-mp3-sk-t248615.html http://kickass.to/ghulam-ali-s-best-collection-gazals-t3212835.html http://kickass.to/ghazals-by-ghulam-ali-t1892254.html http://kickass.to/hindi-bollywood-classics-asha-bhosle-mega-compilation-t566040.html http://kickass.to/hindi-bollywood-classics-lata-mangeshkar-mega-compilation-t562650.html you'll have to check and see which torrents are working out of these. Am at work right now, so can't click on torrent links but will check them out in the evening. Does the site require an invite or anyone can download?

You can just download uTorrent and start downloading
