A friend mentioned to me yesterday that Limewire is still up and running with the best of 'em...
true?
I'm looking into an mp3 player soon (for flying to all these damn Eagles games!) - and I'm on a need-to-know basis...
Recommendations/suggestions and curt comments welcome, as always...
I use Limewire, and it's still free. I can find most songs I'm looking for, but not stuff that's very obscure. Their search engine is a little too detailed (you can input Band name, song name, album name, track number, etc) because it comes down to searching whatever someone has named the file.
I usually only search by key words in the title, or band name, and have success.
That's what I use...
Thanks, guys...
a friend loaned me her iPod for the flight home to PA last weekend...and it was great on the plane. I really hate to fly (not after a couple drinks, however) - and the iPod was great for drowning out the airplane engine sounds...
I'd like to "get on it" before the DC game...I'll be flying into DC that Friday night, if plans run their course...
Somebody told me Limewire farged up their computer. Any truth to this? I'm all for downloading free music. :yay

DJ Sassy Sassum didn't have a great experience with Limewire but DJ Sassy Sassum knows plenty of people who use it on a regular basis. DJ Sassy Sassum does not know why his computer was singled out, however he no longer uses Limewire.
Threads like this make me feel old. I have no idea what Limewire is. I don't venture at all. I've never heard of this thing, and y'all are talking about it like it's been common knowledge for the past 5 years. Perhaps it has, and I just don't have much common knowledge. Either way, I feel dumb.
So you can all go to hell!

Don't feel bad, I had no idea it existed till 2 weeks ago when I bought my Sister an iPOD for her B-Day.
DJ Sassy Sassum didn't know about Limewire until a couple of months ago either. DJ Sassy Sassum also regrets ever hearing about it. DJ Sassy Sassum misses his old hard drive and all of the porn that was stored on it. :'(
:-D

How new is the new version? I installed it about 4 or 5 months ago and got infected.
Also, do you use the basic or pro (pay) version?
I used the basic 4.9 version, then I got the PRO version. Pay? what? :paranoid
The pro version is a one time charge of $18 or something.
In related news, tonights episode of South Park is the one where Kenny, Kyle and Stan get arrested for downloading music. :paranoid

I shtein you not, I'm downloading LimeWire right now and watching that episode! I need you in my life...Jesus!
So uhhhh, anyone have any advice for not getting busted? How do you get busted? I think South Park's got me paranoid :paranoid
Well I decided to give Limewire another try seeing all the rave reviews it's getting here and South Park came on right after I began to download the Limewire software. Is it a sign? :paranoid
:-D :-D :-D
"I wanna get down on my knees and start pleasin' Jesus.
I wanna feel his salvation all over my face. "
:-D :-D :-D
So anyone know how I would transfer the songs to iTunes?
Whatever you specified for the download folder is where your MP3s are sitting, so once they're done, move them to wherever the rest of your MP3s are. After that, go to iTunes, hit Ctrl+O to add a file, then select the MP3(s)....

Awesome! Thanks!
Slyck.com (http://www.slyck.com) is a pretty good resource for learning more about what's going on in filesharing, and the resources available.

whichever seems easier. :poison

The downloads I get through the basic version never go faster than 60 kbs... the Pro version ($18.88) advertises "faster download speeds"... color me skeptical, but has anyone here ever paid for the Pro version of Limewire?
I have it and there's more locations to choose from, the connections seem to be faster, and there aren't as many corrupt downloads as there with the regular version. Pay for software? What's that? :P
Tip with Limewire: when you start downloading something and it reaches 10%, click the preview button to make sure it starts playing the song. If it doesn't, you have a corrupt file. Normally it doesn't tell you this until you've downloaded 99% of the file....
That's what I do. It works well with music although sometimes I'll still get a bad file because the song will be cut off at the end or something.
That trick doesn't work as well with porn though. If you're downloading a bad file it usually only takes a few seconds to download so you never even get a chance to preview it.
So I've heard.
Limewire porn tip:
If it says it's the full "snowballing, gang-bang orgy with hot barely legal teens", but it's only 104kb big, it's not really what you're looking for.
Or so I've heard.....
I heard the same thing. We must know some of the same people who download lots of porn. I feel sorry for them.
Damn lonely lost souls...
Be careful of downloads with HIV :poison
