Most people are signing on for the free trial, downloading as much as they can, then cancelling the service. Lovely.

Thing about Napster though is that you would have to convert all those song you download before you cancel or you lose them.

Seems like a pain in the arse for a lame service and you end up w/ even less quality music and MANY wasted hours.

once again emule is the way i go. works so well ( bit slow but gets the job done on old files)

The diskwriter plugin is ages old, and you've been able to do this for years with any streaming service. If you write to wav or a lossless codec, you will not lose quality, but you will lose quality if you recompress with a lossy codec.

I never had spyware with bearshare. I am using an older version because i dont trust the new versions.

legit versions of Bearshare are flooded with spyware.

http://www.download.com/BearShare/30...feed&part=cnet

There is a spyware free version
BearShare Lite 4.6.3

So basically, you're using a legal music service illegally. What's the point of using a legal service then, especially since you're going to end up with quality loss after transcoding?

Emule takes to long to start to download. Limewire uses to many resources, bearshare takes to long to start download. Bittorrent, an dpersonal ftp's are the best way to get music

I dont have a prob with bearshare starting downloads.
