the best way to get single music tracks

[Skiz]

Mulve is propably the best choice for single tracks

Based on what?

I've never even heard of it until this afternoon. Soulseek is still an excellent place to grab single tracks, but What.cd might just be the best in my opinion these days.

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.

Mulve looks like this; http://www.filez.st/screenshots/65911500Mulve_v103.jpg

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"?

By the way, just like Skizo, I wasn't aware this program existed until yesterday, also. Looks like I missed the original post where it was mentioned. 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!

regarding Mulve:

If Mulve gets all its files from a single server location (vkontakte.ru) the record industry won't have a very hard time snuffing it out. Maybe the only reason it's still alive is because they have too many other battles going on right now.

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.

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.)

What do you think they could exactly do? As far as I know, copyright laws in Russia don't cover digital media.
