Mp3 service

Post by **Sm0k3_Scr33n** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 2:29 am

I have been downloading MP3s for a while till, things went wrong, my buddy droped my pc off his truck and wrecked it, but anyway, to make a long story short, i would like to try a legal MP3 site, like napster to go, but i dont have a compatable player, and they say that if i cancle the service, i cant play my mp3s. and i dont want to pay 99 cents a song. its there something like napster to go that i can use Nomad Zen xtra. and that i can download just mp3s, cause the family wants to use it, so nothing that would have porn. thanx

Legal? that lets you use the media on ANY device?

hmm..

Could always, BUY cds.. then rip the MP3s yourself with FREE software..

or just keep stealing music.. that seems to be the best option for media players imo

best thing to do for compatibility and quality concerns is buy the album if it's worth it. rip with free software to a lossless format for backup, then rip it for portable devices.

is there anyway of getting around the lose your mp3s when you cancel with napster?

The cancel and lose your music is bullshit. I use iTunes, 99 cents a song but it works wonderfully, especially since I own an iPod

um, Itunes is bullsh*t too. you can't use it on another DAP, you're stuck with AAC files, AND you're DRM'd.

true, but you're still stuck with AAC files and transcoding to .mp3 or some other format only worsens the already barely-listenable-to-my-ears 128kbs bitrate.

does anyone actually use this all of mp3 then?

Well in defence of iTunes, yes you get AAC files that are yours, so you have time to convert these files, with Napster you lose all your mp3s when you cancel.

once again, transcoding files is unwise. but if you don't care about <128kbps quality, then go for it.

p.s. i'm not defending Napster in anyway or form, they suck balls to.

I'm taking back my advice on allofmp3 since it turns out they're not paying their ad sponsors over at empornium anymore.

Which makes them cunts
