Brenda2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Just thought I'd ask. I'm really into music now and want to start burning cd's. Anyone know of any free programs? This question is probably a silly one Brenda Mom of 4: Chris 17, Mikayla 11, JJ 6, and Elias 23 months LOVES Piriform Forums more than her husband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted October 16, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2007 Downloading music through file sharing programs can get you into a hell of allot of financial trouble if sued by recording companies, and it isn't worth the risk. You can freely and legally get a bunch of music from the record company websites themselves, most release one or two mp3's for their artists CD's. There's also some very large reputable sites to get free and legal mp3's from like: CNET Download.com Music, and PureVolume.com. Both sites have signed and unsigned artists and will literally take days or weeks to go through them and discover music. There's also Playerie.com. Edit: Also most of the mp3's you'll come across probably won't be worth burning to an audio CD due to the quality/bitrate used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks! I downloaded LiveWire and yeah I'm concerned about copyright infringement and when I installed it, it asked me if I wanted to download only the legal ones (have no idea what they mean by that) or any that are available. I covered my caboose and chose the legal ones only. Anything has to be better than that Imesh hell.

Even though you've ticked that option you still have to be careful, which is why I avoid all file sharing programs and stick to stuff like recording company websites. There's also this Google search I did: open source free music downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don't want the po po knocking on my door because 50 cent is pissed.

JDPower Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 You could also try Clickster, which searches the net for legal song downloads: http://www.remlapsoftware.com/clickster.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
