    Studio... I just want to download some of my favourite albums.

    But it turns out that I need 'administrative privileges' to download music software onto my work laptop.

    I sometimes use Limewire but you can't always get entire albums on there. Sometimes you can get some quite rare stuff.

    Try and use limewire as little as possible if not at all, full of disease and viruses.

    Really? That's interesting. That explains a lot.

    Forget that then, Harmless.

    Get the new Radiohead.

    Despite the fact that they are letting people pay what they think is fair, only 38% of people have actually paid ANYTHING for it.

    At least the percentage of Americans who have paid is higher than the rest of the world.

    I've actually already got it, and it's great :) and free.

    they probably thought "In Rainbows" was a new type of burger...


    since when did it become a competition? :confused:
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Used to use it all the time, absolutely destroyed one of my old cpu's with worm like viruses and stuff.

    For odd tracks and rarities I would reccomend Soulseek.

    For full albums, go to blog sites http://www.totallyfuzzy.blogspot.com is a good one to start at, as it basically list's and links lots of other blog sites dedicated to specific themes and genres.

    "daytrotter.com" is a great site where you can download hundreds of in studio live performances from some really great indie bands (ie. the National, Grizzly Bear, Young Galaxy, Andrew Bird, Sunset Rubdown, Frog Eyes, Cold War Kids, Of Montreal, Annuals, Menomena, Bonnie Prince Billy, Mountain Goats, Low, Tokyo Police Club etc etc etc)....each band plays 4 songs - the sessions are GREAT

    "stereogum.com" has a HUGE archive of free MP3's for download....individual songs (not albums) from some amazing bands (ie. Feist, Ween, Kevin Drew/Broken Social Scene, The New Pornographers, Bloc Party, Editors, Thurston Moore, Jens Lekman, Iron & Wine, Rogue Wave, the Fiery Furnaces, Blonde Redhead, Menomena, Low, Polyphonic Spree, Pinback, Battles, Minus The Bear, Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens, Julie Doiron etc etc etc)

    .....you can also sign up at "eMusic.com" for their 30 day free trial and get 30 free downloads - after which you can just cancel your membership (I picked up albums from Explosions in the Sky and the National)

    Try to install Winamp into the My Documents folder for your account on the computer. I've had problem before and that should allow you to install and use the software. This usually works for most things like winamp, FLAC, etc.

    Go to http://www.inrainbows.com. It's all true. I entered £00.00 for my download.

    If you go to college, and your college has signed a contract with Ruckus, you can download music from that... the files are DRM protected, but there's a program that UNDRMS those files, and they'll be all yours. If not, yeah, Limewire, and shite like that.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    It became a competition when everything America does is criticized and denigrated. I'd thought I'd point out that at least we're more willing to financially support an artist that is trying to bring about some real change as opposed to mooching the album for free like everyone else.
