You can also use torrentz

isn't soulseek for mainly unknown/unsigned music artists? my neighbour is a music teacher and his students share their own creations on that site...

It is viruses!

1) iTunes
2) Go to Mininova.org to find a torrent and then use Azureus (Vuse)

Torrents and Newsgroups are the safest route right now.

but not that safe (torrents) anymore...

I don't screw around anymore with free mp3s... Bearshare you can't remove from your computer unless you wipe your HD clean, LimeWire is a virus, torrents take up ooodles of time and have crafty new viruses that get past your detection software...

iTunes (popular music) or eMusic (cheap alternative for indy music)

 

[GotGusto]

Don't you have to buy the music on itunes?

E-mule... been using it for 4-5 years now...

This is another reason I switched to Linux.
Those worries do not apply to a Linux OS....

Now is mainly iTunes for me , and the occasional CD's from Amazon.ca or second hand shops.

I hope iTunes Canada will catch up with their US counterpart regarding their library soon. In states they have much more selections.
