12670582, where do you illegally download your music? Posted by teefiveten, Tue Dec-09-14 03:10 PM
apart from torrentz
ppl still use soulseek! I HAD NO IDEA!
|
12670585, I just spend the 10 bucks on spotify, but you DJ so thats totally different Posted by double negative, Tue Dec-09-14 03:12 PM
|
12670586, I wonder if ppl are using Soundcloud to hide downloadable content Posted by double negative, Tue Dec-09-14 03:12 PM
set to private, etc
|
12670591, you can rip off SoundCloud but the quality is too poor Posted by teefiveten, Tue Dec-09-14 03:14 PM
128kbps which is fine for an ipod listening but not for DJing
you'd be suprised how much you can get off a SoundCloud by just asking the artist (emerging of course, you can't hit up Beyonce on SC tawmbout 'lemme get that')

12670655, google blogsearch was quietly eliminated eariler this year. Posted by Hitokiri, Tue Dec-09-14 03:36 PM
And without it i'm down to 3 blogs. 2 hip hop related, one all genres. None are the best when looking for some of the hard to find stuff i be looking for.

Just search *artist album name* zip and you find most things. It really only works for newer/ just released albums

12670601, I DO NOT illegally download music... Posted by Kira, Tue Dec-09-14 03:16 PM
..
Hit the inbox so I can point you in the right direction of legal sources of digital media content that are not Amazon, iTunes, or mega popular marketplace.
|
12670608, lawd here come Moral Orel over here :P Posted by teefiveten, Tue Dec-09-14 03:19 PM
is it high quality?
i actually buy most of my music (or download free b/c the artist gave it away) but older/hard to find stuff that i could grab off blogs isn't as easy to access anymore. looking to replace that void.
basically my steps are
1.itunes/amazon and if it's not there (which happens more often than you think) i try and find the illegalz, which are usually high quality
|
12670702, You don't get it. Posted by Kira, Tue Dec-09-14 03:51 PM

It's not how you consume music, but how you admit to consuming music. In any event, check your inbox.

12671011, Lemme get that inbox too Posted by Hitokiri, Tue Dec-09-14 08:34 PM

12670614, Here is a dilemma. I wanted to see "Hannah and her Sisters" Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Dec-09-14 03:22 PM
Not on cable, not netflix, not on amazon instant and not on any of the other legal streaming services AND my local video store has been closed down.
So do I really have to chose between buying the DVD and/r stealing it?

12670668, That's a silly question. Are you looking for justification? Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Tue Dec-09-14 03:41 PM
I can understand t510 dilemma where it can't be found at all. But on your situation, it is available. Just not at the price or convenience that you want.
Morally, you would both be wrong. But you would be dead wrong
|
12670692, Oh, well I should mention I've no moral dilemma about downloading content Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Dec-09-14 03:47 PM
I do whatever is easier and has the lowest risk.
I am on spotify and download what I can't find legally. I will buy certain artist if I feel I want to support.
DOn't feel that way about woody allen.

12670622, not the best sound quality Posted by teefiveten, Tue Dec-09-14 03:23 PM
yeah it can give you a 320 but if the video's original sound is shit, it's still going to be shit
|
12670653, Some DJs don't seem to care or notice Posted by dafriquan, Tue Dec-09-14 03:35 PM
>yeah it can give you a 320 but if the video's original sound >is shit, it's still going to be shit I'm glad you do.
Upcoming (Female) DJ hit me up with her mix. Great transitions. Decent song selection But too many youtube rips made for an uneven sonic quality.
I understand not having money but it's a $1 per song now Back in the vinyl days we had to spring $7 for just the single.
|
12670672, well i care. lol. Posted by teefiveten, Tue Dec-09-14 03:42 PM
i learned the hard way very early on
honestly i have no time to be searching for free music i could buy so i always buy. especially since it is just a buck as you said.
but for stuff i can't find, i need high quality and i need more sources than i have now.
|
12670881, well duh. yeah. if you want sound quality, yeah. nm Posted by Binlahab, Tue Dec-09-14 05:44 PM

12671001, www.dvdvideosoft.com will allow you to download... Posted by The Wordsmith, Tue Dec-09-14 08:28 PM
...a program that will let you convert YouTube vids into MP3s. If a YT vid is in 320Kpbs, you can rip it to that same level of quality. It allows you to covert easily and you won't have to deal with getting on some website to do it. Just remember to uncheck any of those options to download some weird search engine during the download process of the program.

12670759, I use Spotify Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Dec-09-14 04:24 PM
and the only time I get illegal shit is old ass songs for my dads ipod or if I get a link for some new shit from a friend.
I don't really search for downloads like I used to..
|
12671008, Same here. My downloading has gone down tremendously.... Posted by The Wordsmith, Tue Dec-09-14 08:32 PM
...since I started using Spotify. I need to get back on it (downloading) for hard to find stuff. I had limited my downloading to just free mixtapes at one point but I fell off of that too.

12671145, I just stream now Posted by Brother Rabbit, Wed Dec-10-14 07:07 AM
I pay Spotify $9.99 per month (unfortunately it's blocked at work, due to the goofy ass ports it needs). So at work I stream via Rdio, & Grooveshark.
Now when I can't find what I need on the above services, I have 2 music torrent sites that I use.
|
12671258, What.CD Posted by Oreganoflow, Wed Dec-10-14 10:36 AM
This is by far the best place to download music. It's torrent based and you have to keep up a share ratio - meaning you can't just download and bounce. You can find just about any album you can imagine and all have FLAC and 320kbps downloads. It's a site for true music geeks and operates by invite only. When used correctly, your music collection will reach as far as you want it to.
