What program do you use to download and play your music?

[Toughened]

Well I was watching the Gadget show this morning and originally used Limewire to download songs; which I am still proceeding to do to download songs, but they mentioned a program called Spotify.

I downloaded it and I think it is excellent. I'm only new to this program but at the moment I think they provide the songs but you can not download them which is fine for me just to listen to music on my laptop.

I was just wondering what program everyone uses to download and play their music:

I have always used Limewire to download my music but I was wondering if there are any safer, free programs out there that anyone else uses?

To play my music I use Windows Media Player which I find is quick and easy but now I've downloaded Spotify I think I'll be using this from now on.

[kk.]

you can download them, but you have to pay.

limewire and itunes

[Mikey]

I use the youtube downloader to download and realplayer to play.

[Rozi]

I use the youtube downloader to download and realplayer to play.

I use that to download my music but I always get really bad quality. I never listen to music on my laptop, or if I do, I use youtube. I usually listen to the radio.

[The Undertaker]

I use iTunes to play them.
To download I use a combo of Limewire, iTunes (get £10 on it a month) & www.zamzar.com (http://www.zamzar.com) (songs that I can't find on Limewire).

[Dentafrice]

To listen to music, I use Spotify (really amazing application) and iTunes, as well as my iPod.

To download music, I used to use Limewire PRO, but eventually decided against it.. and downloaded a free alternative to Limewire PRO called Frostwire, which is an open source version.

Almost the exact same thing, except it's free.. same speed, everything.

[jameslarden]

I use itunes - By the way, you do know that limewire is illegal?

[Jordan,]

Spotify to listen to music but I use iTunes if I want it on my iPhone

[Kotu]

Spotify is a great application for when you're just at home listening to music. I've been obsessed with it for a several months now lol. It's free (if you can cope with occasional adverts) AND it's legal.

I think they have plans to expand on the idea of downloads soon to replace the current feature that links you to the 7Digital website.

[PoizZoNxX]

I use itunes - By the way, you do know that limewire is illegal?

Limewire isn't illegal, most of the content on there is.

I use iTunes to listen and Warez to download

[Laurensh1]

uTorrent & Limewire to 'get' (in NL, downloading is legal...).
iTunes to play for my iPod.

[Sixiz]

I download off of youtube but now every video is not available in the uk.

So I use Limewire, but i dont listen to music that much atm

[CJW93]

Limewire Bit Torrent ----> iTunes

[Caution]

Download from Limewire, sync to my iPod and listen to on my docking station. I usually listen to the radio for music though.

[paul4wolves]

limewire and itunes

Yep, these are the best.

[VelvetClover]

Ares to download, Windows Media Player to listen :)

[Caution]

I use itunes - By the way, you do know that limewire is illegal?
No, because it's not. Some of the content on it is illegal though.

[camera]

file2hd if im getting from myspace (thanks to LTS :D)
if not bittorrent
itunes to listen, ofc

[PaulMacC]

I'll buy the songs online/instore if I really like the band, for example I downloaded the A Day To Remember Discography from Mininova.org but then I bought it online so I could support the band, same with Billy Talent.
I use iTunes to play songs.

[dogboy123]

Limewire

and itunes to listen

[PoizZoNxX]

Yep, these are the best.
iTunes is, Limewire isn't.

[Kyle!]

I'm surprised so many people use Limewire, so in-secure, easy to get viruses and normally the quality of the songs are really bad. I use torrents, but I have access to What.CD and Waffles.FM which is just win. :D

[LoveToStack]

file2hd if im getting from myspace (thanks to LTS :D)


I still use file2HD, heh. Individual songs off myspace, albums with uTorrent. Sync with iTunes. Those are all for downloading though, for just listening to music I use Spotify too. :)

[Rixion]

Frostwire - Downloading songs + torrents
Youtube Converter - Rare songs not on frostwire
iTunes - the odd album and to play music/videos

[jackass]

Google if i'm downloading music, but I normally just stream it on Spotify. :8

[Jackbee]

Download: Limewire, Music Blogs
Play: iTunes

[Frisky]

MP3rocket - basically limewire but faster.

[Blinger1]

I use bittorrent for most things :)! I can almost always find what I want?

And i use VLC to listen to the music because iTunes is being gay!

[Slowpoke]

Bearshare Lite to download and iTunes to listen.

[Crimson]

limewire/iTunes and iTunes.

[Catchy]

When I can't be bothered to download I'll use youtube just to listen and when I want to download I'll download torrents off the net so I can get the full album and I use media player to play :)

[redtom]

Downloading: Napster, Super Fast and Legal :)

Playing: itunes or my ipod touch

[Jxhn]
