Point taken, but at that point I head to myspace or youtube and check it out, then go buy it.
myspace or youtube is the first step..to see if it's even worth downloading..then quite a few listen (which for me is mostly on the commute to work) before knowing if there's staying power.
I just usually google an album title and put .rar at the end of it. easiest way to find a rapidshare file on the net. I also use isohunt.com like everyone else

I do torrents. The thing is, it may be illegal, but I have bought albums that I would not have otherwise purchased, because I heard them on a torrent first.
In other words, I'm doing these artists a favor! Sometimes....
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
dont download music/movies from public torrent sites guys...Im not saying youre going to get caught, but if you are going to get caught, its going to be from using demanoid or isohunt, etc..
Join a private tracker. What.cd, waffles.fm, etc. (RIP oink.cd)
I know you have to get invited, but its not impossible to do so. Just do some research online (google search "what.cd invites", or use IRC chat).
The music there is superior to anything in a public torrent site, as you can get real cd quality stuff (FLACS) or just download the 128k or v0 for your ipods.
just do some homework, get invited to a site, and youll have all the music you want at your figertips which can be downloaded in any format in 1 minute. Its out there to be had. Its a "sharing" network, so if youre willing to download and share, youll be welcomed with open arms.

My preference is music blogs. Whole albums zipped using winrar and uploaded to sites dedicated to specialist genres etc. An amazing way to hear new music.
I also use bittorrents.

waffles is supposed to be good (i haven't found an invite yet). i use my oink user/pswd from time to time to see if it works...
<why is waffles.fm red everytime it's mentioned???>
piratebay & torrentz are decent, but i don't like using them too much to check out music (quality is not dependable).

If you only want to pay 20 cents for a drm free song file go to http://www.mp3fiesta.com. This is the new allofmp3.com for those that used that service before it got shutdown.
you can download entire albums in a matter of seconds for free...the only problem is that you have to have a college email address and as far as i know you cannot burn the files onto a cd or Ipod..but im sure there is a way to work around that
