...or do you guys still do it the old fashioned way?
I've gotten a couple of CDs from them. Big mistake. If I want to be able to listen to more than 12 of them at a time away from my desk I have to get a Napster approved wmp player. So now I either buy the CD or steal it depending on how much I like the band.
BearShare :yay

I get most of my music legitimately via iTunes. There are times when I'll look for things via Soulseek (http://www.slsknet.org/), now that WinMX is dead.
I like Limewire, but I get 90% of my music from a music trading forum where people do high quality rips and host them on FTPs.
I used to use Winmix, but now I use Verizon Yahoo Music Engine, you can download any song and keep it on your computer to listen too without buying it, and if you subscribe, songs are 79 cents to buy and burn.
I use Acquisition for MAC. Its dreamy. :drool
I've been song shopping instead of band shopping of late, so I just buy them online from the evil that is Walmart for 88 cents a song.
If I want a whole CD I get it the old fashion way and buy it.
I use LimeWire....
I go to the library.
Soulseek works well. And i havent seen it brought up with any legal cases.

My computer got infected from using Limewire. Same with Kazaa.
i use itunes as well. the subscription services arent worth it to me. and itunes seems to have the best selection.
i use limewire to "steal" once in a while, but it's funny because i only use that for music i bough long ago, on cassette, figuring since i already purchased one licence for it, i can have anther format for it. i know it's dumb reasoning, but i dont care, there is not 1 cassette player in my house.
I have all of my MP3's on a external hardrive which i disconnect each time i go online. Dont want them seeing 2500 freesongs downloaded from 56k.

My Patton stuff is all on CD. :'( Speaking of Patton, you all missed my drunk-ass rendition of Faith No More's cover "Easy" at some karaoke bar called Locust or something to that effect (last sunday night). I was wearing my CF shirt to make us look even worse.
Did it have beer stains on it at that point?

I'll never understand why more people don't do this. It's free, there's no glitches, you can get any CD on the planet usually, and it's legal.
Most people don't remember that libraries exist.

I don't understand. You can burn music at the library...I mean download music? From where? How? Through some special library music download service?
www.burn-pirated-music-from-the-library.com OBVIOUSLY.

lol...I'll pretend you aren't kidding. You go to the local library, check out the CDs you want, rip them to your computer, then take the CDs back to the library.
We have a cooperative library system, so I can request any CD from any library in my county online and have it sent to my local branch. I've yet to not find a CD I want. And I can take out about 10 CDs at a time.
It's great.
If you have a laptop, and the CDs are already at your branch, you don't even have to bother checking them out. :evil

:-D How many of us will be at the local library tonight with our laptop?
Not me, of course. O:)
Of course, the local library is still closed and without lights. :paranoid

At my library, they only keep the cases out. Then I have to bring the case to the check-out counter for them to give me the actual disc.

Maybe they do that here, too. I don't know...I haven't visited the library in over a year. :-X
Are CD's now 'rip' protected or no? Or do you have to have a special type of burner at home?

some are. but not many.
The protected ones aren't protected very well.
So you've heard, I assume.....
Farg no, I did it to CDs I own. MP3s on the hard drive, original in the CD juke box.
