Members Funkee1 Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 How come so many songs on Limewire have either the wrong title, artist or both listed??? Don't these suckas know anything??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Death Hands Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've heard from various sources that torrenting is much more efficient and accurately labeled. I've got tons and tons of albums myself. Whenever I reformat, I set a day aside for the purpose of ripping "must have" section of my disc collection. I love music.

Members Scary Bill Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 How come so many songs on Limewire have either the wrong title, artist or both listed??? Don't these suckas know anything??? People are dumb. This causes a lot of problems, and this is one of them. They label a song with what they think is right, and they are too lazy to check and see if they are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bleepo Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 A Torrent is a completely legal means of file transfer. It's up to you to keep it legal by only downloading non-copywritten media. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_%28protocol%29 I use the utorrent client.

Members psychepsilo Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've heard from various sources that torrenting is much more efficient and accurately labeled. I've got tons and tons of albums myself. Whenever I reformat, I set a day aside for the purpose of ripping "must have" section of my disc collection. I love music. Dang... a day??? It took me weeks to rip the "must have" portions of my disc collection onto my computer. Interesting thing for music, whether you're just ripping/storing/backing up your collection or (vastly more importantly) if you're recording onto your computer: Install an extra hard drive. Put all your music (and anything else you don't want to lose or spend extra days putting back... *ahem... works for porn too*) on the extra hard drive, which doesn't get reformatted when you do your OS (the extra HD only gets reformatted if you specifically tell the computer to do so). One little thing though... if you aren't conscious of the names of your various storage devices, when you reformat the OS will count the new drive when it names things, which can muck up your playlists (I have FAR more time invested in my playlists than in actual ripping or downloading). i.e: when you INSTALL a new storage device it will automatically receive the next "name" available, probably becoming your F or G drive (unless you go in and rename all your drives manually), so your playlist will tell your computer that "YMCA" is located at G:My MusicMy Gay FavoritesVillage PeopleYMCA. When you reformat, the computer will see a hard drive as a higher priority storage device than your CD burner etc., and will name it accordingly (probably naming it "D", right after your "C" main drive). Since a playlist is just a set of instructions to your computer on where to find "YMCA," and those instructions are no longer correct, you wind up with mucked up playlists that don't work. There are ways around that which vary between different music players and operating systems, but the simple way to avoid either mucked up playlists OR having to put all your music back onto your computer yet again is to get all your porn and game cheats from reputable sources so that you can avoid getting so many worms, trojans and viruses that you have to reformat your computer regularly (and have to start all over on your porn, game cheat, worm and trojan collection). But the extra HD is still recommended, and COMPULSORY if you do recording. *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BassMaster General Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 Here's a legal question: If I own something on vinyl, can I legally download it? I mean, I did go out and spend the money on the record. The RIAA believes that if you copy a CD into your computer it does not qualify as fair use. They just haven't had the laws "adjusted" yet.So, probably. Call them and ask:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pyralus Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 Devil: your download is slow... 41.2 KB's?! For all of those interested: as of the latest I've heard (I could be wrong) torrenting is highly illegal not because you are downloading music (which can be quantified and sanctified) but because you are UPLOADING music. The distribution is the problem, not the aquireing. It's like being 21 and buying a beer from someone without a liquor license. You didn't know it, you can't be held to blame. Only the distributor is. Be careful using torrents because file sharing programs automatically upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limewire and other direct connect clients are even worse, because they are so much more easy to track. Torrents are safer, and in most torrent clients you can enable encryption, which makes it even safer. I really hope the RIAA, MPAA etc. soon realizes that the internet has changed things a bit, and that they can't hold on to their old ways forever. Give me DRM-free music in lossless-format available as download for a good price, and stop threatening, sueing, and making peoples lives miserable just because they are music-lovers. Then I'll perhaps buy my music again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Death Hands Posted December 30, 2007 Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 lol, criminal. Really, a day. As in twenty-four hours. Lots of caffiene and very few breaks. Like I said, this day is set aside so that I can access things that I listen to religiously. I'm not digging for the classics and the "if I need it" mood music.
