MP3 Download

A Trap

Advantages: Fast, Fuss free, decent quality, very good library of albums
Disadvantages: Inability to burn tracks EVEN with £15 p/m subscruiption, DRM, no ipod or sony mp3 player support

A free MP3 player is the cheese in this mousetrap. OK heres what you actually get for £15 a month: -Ability to listen to any tunes on napster. -Ability to transfer tunes to MP3 player *only during subscription* You never actually ge to burn any tunes or keep any tunes. £15 a month buys a jukebox. Thats it. Or rather it lets you rent a jukebox. I can see what Napster are doing here. They want you to subscribe, then you build a nice little jukebox ...
...to think of as 'my own collection'. But when you want to cancel, you lose your entire music collection, so it's like a trap - pay £15 a month or lose you music collection. You can of course buy DRM WMV albums at £8 a pop, but you can only play them on 3 different PCs and burn them 3 times in audio CD format. No more archiving to CD. CD audio only. Overall Napster is an impressive program, and a bright idea that untimatley fails because of the inability ...

My overview of Limewire

Advantages: The program is FREE to install. Easy to run. Helps save money for the user
Disadvantages: Some of the searches on the program return bad results.

Limewire to many people is an extremely helpful tool which enables them to 'share' files from other users around the world. These files includes the more popular types such as mp3, wmv, avi etc The application itself is very easy to use, for both beginners and experianced users, making it an attractive proposition to all target audiences. There are many advantages and disadvantages which have been very quickly summarised below. The main advantage ...
...to fork out alot of money to purchase music, or videos say from a source such as Itunes. Instead, they can download these files for free. Saving in some cases, time money and effort. Some people may argue that using programs such as Limewire is illegal. Technically called it is file sharing. This in itself is not illegal. It is however, if the files being shared have particular copyright rules/ laws. Many files 'shared' do not hold such laws. It ...

Recent changes....

Advantages: Fast downloads and access to millions of tracks, movies and games.
Disadvantages: Lot's of pop ups and adverts.

From my experience it seems Kazaa is no longer functionning properly and you may be better to look for other file sharing web sites to download your music. After reinstalling many versions of Kazaa over the last couple of months I have been unable to keep any up and running. After a $100 million dollar payout to the music industry July last year it appears Kazaa has fallen out of favour. This huge pay out may be the reason for the lack of maintenance ...

iTunes... The new obsession

Advantages: Fast Loading, Impressive Interface, Great Music Management Standards, Very Easy To Use
Disadvantages: None !

...i had always seen the iTunes store when i was syncing music to my iPod but i could never really be bothered to create an account, it wasn't a huge deal because i wasn't really bothered with apps... My mind was blown one rainy day when i was bored with nothing else to do when i decided to create an iTunes account... In my opinion iTunes outdoes any of it's other competitors, Amazon was completely wiped from the table after i seen the number of songs ...
...it i was on an iTunes shopping spree ! I tried to convinved myself that this was a momentary lapse of judgment but it really was worth every penny. It is easy to set up an iTunes account contrary to my previous beliefs, every song i have looked for is ALWAYS there as iTunes has a database of millions upon millions of songs ready to buy and download. One of the main parts of iTunes that i really noticed was that it is exceptionally easy to navigate ...
