Guest peter Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Are we talking free or pay for?. If free try Morpheus or Kazaa but you get lots of pop-ups and adverts and maybe some spyware. But you firewall should block the latter. Some people also swear by Limewire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymer C 9. Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Peter had live wire on old lap top, but don't want to put it onto this one, don,t mind if I have to pay but wonder which sites are best, Carol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9withdogs Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi Carol - what sites you use depends on whether you want to pay for your music. I use itunes to pay for downloads - 79p per track, no problems encountered. If you want music for free, it isn't without risk of downloading viruses. Limewire offer some security.

michele Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Anyway as you have a wobbly in box I will repeat it for you ..Use Limewire Pro . Its free lol its quick its easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGD Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Michelle - Limewire Pro is not free. The Pro version is, I think, a pay-for upgrade. Limewire Basic is certainly free however, and that's the one I use a lot. Please remember, the system only works 'cos people like me are prepared to share their stuff with you, so please share yours too with the rest of us.............:-D :-D Link for anyone who wants to download either version of Limewire: http://www.limewire.com/download/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymer C 9. Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Well the census seems to be that Limewire is a safe option so I will down load that. Thanks for all the info everyone. :-) Carol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9withdogs Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Limewire isn't totally 'safe', Carol. Make sure you have a very good virus checker installed, there are some nasty people out there who take great delight in giving you unpleasant surprises!

BGD Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Janine is right in one sense.....of course nothing is totally safe. But with a good firewall/virus checker/anti-spyware you should be fine with Limewire. But you should have those security systems installed and operating before you ever log on to the internet, regardless of which sites you are visiting. Certainly I use Limewire A LOT and have done for yonks, and have never had any problems (yet!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mags Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 i've used gomusic.ru quite a bit - they have an english version and the music is cheap !!!! but not always up to date. Have to pay in euros but last time I bought an album it cost me about £5. If you can read russian there is more choice but it's worth a look!! Elaine. Soon to be without motorhome!

Good luck . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exustrek Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Carol Newsgroups........... Astraweb unlimited account, or Easynews. Not free, but a very reasonable $10 - $15 a month. Some find it difficult to master but it's super fast & you'll be gobsmacked at what's available. Be careful of anything that involves 'peer to peer' file sharing.
