RCBill 14 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 I bought an MP3 thing. I need to get some music. Who, what, where, or how are you getting your downloads? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Mike Williamson 198 Report post Posted December 30, 2006 I downloaded Limewire last night, and I have to say, it is far superior to Kazaa as far as download speeds. I'm loving this thing! Just be sure your virus software is up to date and that you look at your file sizes and don't download things that are too small/large to be what you think you're getting. For example, a song that is only 2K isn't a song, but COULD be a virus. Some of you may have problems downloading software, but if you don't, you can get pretty cool stuff if you have high speed...I downloaded and installed Photoshop 9.0 last night, works great! I was running version 7.0, so it'll be interesting to see what's new with the new version. I'll be upgrading to the pro version ($20.00 or so) to get better file access and search functions.

I tried goint to file and add folder as Beth suggested but I don't have the add folder under the file menu. Once you have downloaded them, you just need to follow the directions for your MP3 player to transfer them. The files you download via Limewire are in your "shared" folder in your "documents and settings folder". Right click on the Start button, select "Explore" then find your Documents and settings folder in your C drive. IN that folder will be your user folder (whatever name you have set up). IN that folder, there is a "Shared" folder and that is where limewire puts downloaded stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RCBill 14 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 Alright! I'm getting this thing going. Haven't heard Little Feat in generations. Now, I have files in my computer. Seems a waste of money having two music services in one house. Has anyone taken a signal from their computer and put it into their home audio system? How about video? I gotta call my niece. She loves to teach (talk down to) me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She loves to teach (talk down to) me. Yep, I have done audio. In fact, before I got better speakers, I used to use my stereo as speakers for the computer....Great sound for games. I have been meaning to get the audio/video run to the home theater system so when I watch something from one of the network websites (ABC, CBS, NBC) my wife can also watch it on the TV.

0 seymore 90 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 Has anyone taken a signal from their computer and put it into their home audio system? Yes i have a digital fiber optical cable running from my pc sound card to my amplifier. "S/PDIF connection" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mas3372 14 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 Mike, thanks for the help. Just figured it out. I have all my songs go into the same folder as all my other songs. But windows media player would not let me set up a sync with them. but I just realized that if I go to windows explorer with my mp3 attached, then I can transfer them there. Thanks.

0 Mike Williamson 198 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 Yes i have a digital fiber optical cable running from my pc sound card to my amplifier. "S/PDIF connection" Do you really notice a difference in sound quality when using optical cable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 seymore 90 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 For Dolby D you notice big difference just like in Hi-Def you can only use a optical cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RyanH 14 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 Amazon.com: Logitech Wireless Music System for PC: Electronics Another option. I received this yesterday and tried it out. It sounds good if you adjust the volume between your computer, this device, and your sound system appropriately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 sthom21 14 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 FYI On the local news Monday night there was story about a 14 year old boy who used Lime Wire to download "free" music files. He downloaded 32 files about 2 years ago. His parents are being sued by 12 record companies for music piracy damages in excess of $10,000. That's about $312 per song. I'd rather buy CD's. The story also mentioned that there is a huge backlog of these cases and that is why it has taken 2 years to catch up to this kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I bought an MP3 thing. I need to get some music. Who, what, where, or how are you getting your downloads?
