Most efficient ways to get MP3s.

What the hell, if you like an artist, you buy his album. If everyone freely downloaded there Albums then they would grow broke. It is a way of supporting them

Frostwire. Do not get limewire. Frostwire is more
secure for downloading files like mp3s, limewire is unsecure and you can be finned.

...Not quite, I think the backup copy can only be ripped, or is it different between games and music?

Not exactly sure, but if I have a legally obtained copy in my hand, I am allowed to make a backup copy so long as I do not distribute it or use it for the means of profit. Since I do this for strict personal use, I'm not defying the letter of the law.

-_- If you are referring to what Bisjac posted, 'Emule' is not an emulator.

An emulator is a program that emulates another system. For example, on a Super Nintendo Emulator, you can run Super Nintendo games.

In general terms, not really. The sites provide the emulator programs but keep the bios a "find it yourself" deal.

On my table at lunch, I found an index card saying the advantages of p2p.

While cleaning my room, I found it:

Even though illegal... teens use p2p for many reasons
1)free, they share with you
2)fast, just one click and you get it on in 5 secs
3)they get what they want, do you want to get what you want

4)I believe its right to do it due to:
my belief, you shouldn't have to pay for something thats already free.

olol.

Well, I buy all of my songs on iTunes, but for songs that are either "joke" songs for micspamming on TF2 (FINAL COUNTDOWN) or anything that I would want to use but not listen to all the time, I just use a "youtube to mp3" conversion service.  Put in the youtube link, download the ripped mp3, and voila.
