£9.99 a months a ripp off thats around £120 a year mayaswell go and buy the cds for that. The internet should be about trying to get one over on these groups not make them more richer.

U torrent looks confussing though,the mobile version to say the least. Btw i love northerners specially the folk from leeds/huddersfield/barnsley/shefield.

Utorrent is a bit torrent client tool, you'll need it to avail of torrent sites. Remember to stay safe, a VPN is the www's version of a condom.

Utorrent that was the one i was trying to think of thanks toiler, i've got "Bittorrent". i thought Spotify was good until the trial ended and they wanted 9.99 a month which is a bit much. i think its a good way of finding out music you don't have or not to sure on and if you like it you can buy it at a later date.


Spotify have told me i have played certain tracks too much and i now have to buy them if i want to listen to them.
No big deal, but its not totally free....

Yes they previously limited tracks to 5 listens but as I pointed out they now give unlimited listens on the free package.

Spotify have told me i have played certain tracks too much and i now have to buy them if i want to listen to them.

Pidge, I think that's the best post you've ever made that I actually agree with totally :grin: 8)

Miss Bag Lady, I am not poor (I'm far from rich like) I am just tight, for the reasons alluded to by Walter Pigeon above :P

Thanks Unbroken for the link, in essence that's what I was after :smile:

£9.99 a month for all the music you need (well pretty much). Sounds good to me - Some of you that say this is tight - you probably think nothing of downing 3 pints on a Friday night? Depends how often you use it - I'm averaging about 5 hours a day.

Think ive had about 3 pints all year. I'm pretty sure you can get all the music you want without having to pay that, just have to master how to use Utorrent. Im still in the buying CD market well this year ive only bought about 12 so far this year. Half have been Maiden ones. For example i dont mind a few albums by Machine Head, Sepultura but i wont be paying for example "Roots" by Sepultura as its not as good as "Chaos AD". "Lamb of God" & "Slipknot" are another good examples also "Limp biskit", "Rob zombie" and "Maralin manson", actually ive got "The beautifull people" indoors but would you pay for "mechanical animals"?.

I always thought Metallica were pretty mean spirited over that Napster thing, it didn't go down very well with a lot of their fans either, how much fucking money do they need ffs. I am not saying it's great to download for free, personally I don't bother and would rather have a CD than a download any day.
