grooveshark is the bomb. although i dont think it will last long :(
I thought the same when I discovered it two years ago, but look at that, it's still standing. There are many other music streaming services out there, anyway (although I've found Grooveshark to be the best in terms of content and usability).Quote:

I use Grooveshark for listening and beemp3 for downloading.
I've started using GS more and more. Wasn't a big fan of it at first, but the service has grown and it really is excellent. One of the few services that works abroad when I'm working. I just wish Spotify worked everywhere and the same goes for Last.FM/Pandora. Anyone know of any other music streaming services that work internationally/globally?Quote:

For those of you who dosn't already know about it, Mulve is probably the easiest and fastest way to download single music files.
Read about & download it here: http://mulve.com/
Where is the client obtaining these songs?Quote:

I wish I understood how it necessarily works. How is it getting the tracks/etc.? What is it sort of like rapidshare based or something? Also, quality, etc. I don't fully understand the program.Quote:

Skiz, you can download a track within 5 seconds and I've found everything I've looked for, it's just that good.
Hiccup, the site get the trackers from other sites, for example vkontakte.ru. As you can see on the picture, it's possible to sort the tracks by Bitrate. I have only downloaded ~ 15 trackers, all of them were found in 320 kbit/s. I think it's like a really simple, easier, faster, smarter program than for example LimeWire, SoulSeek or Bearshare.
I think you mean "tracks"? :happy:Quote:

After giving it a try (to see where it was getting the tracks from using SmartSniff), I have to say it's really fast and easy to use. Could very well replace BeeMP3.com for me if the music archive is big enough.
Yep, that's right!Quote:

After the rash of spyware-infested P2P software that came like a plague after the shutdown of Napster, I think that many of us might not be eager to jump headfirst into installing another application until we know a little more about it.
I've got to wonder why they made this into a oldschool software client, instead of setting up a flash-enabled web frontend, like it seems just about everyone else is doing these days.
Mulve is dope.30 downloads, top speeds and none failed.
http://hyper-hyper.appspot.com - i just made it.
+ very simple and basic, no ads suffocating you.
- dont work well with not well known tracks.
+ http download from server.
I concur. That's part of the reason why I was/am so hesitant to try it out. Had a friend try it out, though. It's kind of like a program based hypem/elbow/etc. It found several obscure tracks, which I thought was cool, but the quality seems to be mostly on the 128 side, if you don't mind that sort of thing. I'd only pop this thing out if I couldn't find something elsewhere and had exhausted all other alternatives/options (i.e. Google, SoulSeek, torrents, etc.)Quote:

I suggest you look up the history of AllOfMP3, the Russian MP3 download site that thought they were untouchable because they were in compliance with Russian law -- despite being at the very top of the record industry's (s)hit list.Quote:

Killing off Mulve should be a lot easier than killing off AllOfMP3, which required an intense international effort approaching the level of the D-Day invasion or the Manhattan Project. Mulve can survive only as long as they stay "under the radar" :)
Hey, thanks for the link, I wasn't aware of that. However, as far as I can see, AllOfMP3 sold music tracks, while Mulve lets you download them for free. Isn't the former case, i.e. "profiting from piracy", a way more serious offense for the RIAA and such?Quote:

Not all of them. Some don't keep IPs, either because they don't want to or the source code they run on doesn't have that capability.Quote:

emule works well
another SLSK'er here...love this program
Have you tried Mulve?Quote:

Pymaxe, BeeMP3.com, Ares.Quote:

Mulve was just a frontend that connected to the Russian social networking site called Vkontakte. You can join the site directly at http://vk.com and use the MP3 sharing features.
I recently joined and uploaded a few MP3s to the site. It's a little tedious doing it one MP3 at a time (hopefully there's a shortcut) but at least there are now a few more titles that are not in Russian. :lol:
True, there are two alternative clients born from its ashes already:Quote:

I've been using DC++ for years now. Lots of good public hubs with singles. Plus the speeds are awesome.
http://songr.co.cc is nice alternative for searching music tracks
