i use the free limewire.
I used to use Napster back in the late 90's when nobody knew about it - I stay away from that stuff now though - no trust in it. Newsgroups probably are still good to go, but you need a good newsreader program, virus protection (if the files are .rar'ed or zipped) & you are subject to what is currently posted...

Thanks for the info. But you have answered me as to what program you use to DL music.
I use: none.

I still buy CDs, then I rip the CDs.

If I were going to buy digital music, I would shop Amazon now. No DRM (copy protection) FTW!

majority of CD's ripped and sold


Amazon is also good

iTunes has no DRM tags if it is under iTunes PLUS.
