For rare songs or full albums unreleased/released, you should use SoulSeek. :thumbup:

what SHOULD be illegal is the ****ing monopoly the RIAA holds on file sharing right now.

AIM Get File (knowing the right people) + Soulseek + MIRC (well, maybe a couple months ago. Quality has gone down lately due to so many noobs) >>> Napster and Itunes

My dad and I were wondering if with the new Napster if it still allows you to copy them to a cd? once you download them? We figured so but we could see them being sticklers and putting some sort of block on the song so that it couldn't be copied to a cd.

i believe so, but theyre WMA files. windows proprietory format, so there is digital copyright built in. Itunes uses MP3. Apple does not believe there is anyway to protect digital media, and theyre right, so they dont really bother.
