Well to all the music lovers out there.
Whats your next move? I personally got a majorty of my music from mediafire. But it seems that nearly everly link is bunk because the government has shut it down.

So where should I turn to next. I dont know how to torrent and dont want to get into all of that.

Any suggestions???

Wait Wait wait, Mediafire and similar sites got shut down? oh well i mostly buy my music or get it from legitimate sites like bandcamp or soundcloud but still it was a nice tool to have to get past stupid selective coding on purchased music.

Video2mpe, listentoyoutube,beemp3, they all blow. I dont listen to anything below 193kbs anyway and since MF has shut down I go to the next best thing. What's that? Well, eventually you may know.

You guys are elitis bitches.Lyrical mastery such as the hip hop music I enjoy is hardly shitty quality from Youtube-MP3 sites. Though I understand if youvare dl'ing EDM and such.

if you are listening to your music through laptop speakers/shitty ear buds then youtube rips are fine, but if you have a 5.1+ system or nice quality headphones, why would you want to listen to such terrible quality music?

Torrents aren't bad at all, but when you hear a song you'd like to download its a lot easier to type the name into google and almost instantly download it... or even an album.

again beemp3, soundcloud, or if you can't download it off soundcloud - http://soundcloud-download.com/

What, they both work great. I use spotify daily. Haven't used Frostwire for anything other than movies and tv series lately, but i've never had any troubles with either and i always find what i'm looking for. In 320 always!

Hip hop music has nothing to do with it. I myself listen and compose hip hop beats with my MPC. The difference between youtube rips and the real song is insane. The ones ripped from youtube have no soul (figuratively speaking). The best solution would be to buy a turntable but I'm broke right now.

Downloading one song off an album is a really great way to miss all the good songs that you don't hear on the radio. But hey, nothing better than having 2000 artists on your ipod but only 2500 songs, cause that isn't annoying or anything...

I've never had an issue with quality from beemp3 or youtube converters. The songs sound perfectly fine with every pair of headphones I have used, my ipod dock, my car speakers.....etc etc

actually some of my favorite songs have been songs that i didnt like at first but after listening to them for a bit i just adore them. some music is an acquired taste but once you have the taste on your tongue damn is it sweet.

Download.nl is good for single songs. You can preview them before you download as well

www.filestube.com still delivers decent results from lesser known (not shut down yet) filesharing sites. Otherwise I just torrent now.

Proxy or VPN duh. You can't really block access to a website.
