let me be the first of many to say People still use limewire ???
1.2.2009
I know everyone uses Bittorrent/Utorrent whatever, and I do too. But Limewire is really good for getting single songs. When I don’t want a whole album I use Limewire. What do you do?
1.2.2009
Use the torrent for the album but tell it to only download the specific song.
1.2.2009
I’d like to see you try that when some ***** decides to RAR it.. >.< WHY?? I never understood why anyone would RAR a CD.
1.2.2009
Yea I could use a torrent to download a single song.. but that takes longer to search for and start the download and then it’s pretty much pointless to seed.

Well, not that Songbird is out I will be able to buy music online legally and I will not need limewire.
1.2.2009
1) Why couldn’t you buy music online legally before?2) Songbird has built-in skreemr support(and tons of other sites), that allows you to copy any .mp3 found online directly into your library. So you could very well be downloading songs from someone else for free, which is the crux of Limewire anyway.

Thanks for the info about songbird. I haven’t checked it out yet. I dugg your comment up.When I first got onto Linux, Limewire was *it* as far as downloading mainstream songs. I was perfectly willing to pay, but services like iTunes and some others did not have linux friendly software.From what I read about Songbird, I will now be able to use those pay music download services, which is my preference

Why do people still use limewire? Bittorrent and Emule, FTW.
1.2.2009
Emule FTL, Utorrent.

P2P apps like Limewire are still better than BitTorrent for finding obscure MP3s. BitTorrent is good for grabbing a relatively new album since there’s more than likely still people seeding it. However, it’s usually hard to find a seeded torrent of an older album if it’s not by a very well known artist.Limewire-type applications are better in this regard since people don’t have to explicitly seed everything, you can just share your entire music directory.
1.2.2009
I only used file-sharing and Torrents for music anyway, and MP3 blogs have been much better for me since I discovered them.
