Limewire isn't the only P2P, there are some amazing P2P programs for music that have a huge diversity of super-rare material, in full-album high-quality format. Limewire and Kazaa are not the high examples of P2P .

Freezer, what do you do with CD's? Rip them to PC or put them on an iPod? At what quality are they compressed to? Is it better than FLAC/OGG? Ok, enough said... I'd only recommend buying a CD to play it on a CD player, and who the hell uses them anymore? My hi-fi speakers are connected digitally to my PC, my car sound-system runs off an 80gb iPod instead of having 3,000 albums in my glovebox... etc. It's outdated, that's my point. The raw data may be higher bitrate/quality than digital sources, but eventually all CD files end up on a digital format anyway, and the difference between a V0 rip / OGG Vorbis / FLAC and a CD is not really discernable when played digitally.

If you like technical metal look at Necrophagist. To satisfy your black metal side Aeon - Bleeding the False ( I recommend Forever Nailed, Satanic Victory, and Biblewhore from that album). If your wanting good raw metal go with Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thundergod ( Guardians of Asguard, No Fear for the Setting Sun, and Tattered Banners, Bloody Flags are my favorites from that album).

Hey, thank God, stay away!

I was speaking in defense of pirates and their mentality, not taking the piss

Btw, I winz:

https://img338.imageshack.us/img338/mymusiccurrentqn6.jpg/1/w377.png

Each 'folder' represents one album or one artist subfolder, sometimes a compilation/discography depending on the format downloaded in. This is my basic core collection of backed-up material that I deem invaluable and thus unlosable . Then there's this...

https://img392.imageshack.us/img392/2020/torrentscurrentol5.jpg
https://img392.imageshack.us/img392/torrentscurrentol5.jpg/1/w377.png

Again, each folder being an album/EP/vinyl rip. Even though it's labelled 'Torrents' that folder does not contain any films or games (quite simply, I don't pirate those, but not for ethical reasons!) I have to keep this music in a separate sub-folder because of the way that seeding works on my private torrent trackers, notably Waffles and What.cd.

Then there's my loose-ends of rare albums/EP's from my trusty P2P that neatly hoovers up all the limited-copies and super-rare demos that my torrent sites do not have:

https://img376.imageshack.us/img376/soulseekcurrentar2.jpg/1/w377.png

So yeah. Win. Bearing in mind all those folders are on my back-up e-Sata drive, i.e. music I like and intend to keep. I can't be bothered to get the details of all my recently-downloaded stuff that still spams up and awaits judgement on my C/ drive!

My external drives are both near full too but that doesn't mean anything! Movies, games and porn take up a huge space compared to music! The point of our screenshots was that it was specifically or at least semi-provably music! .

Edit: Btw, nice job on the 'Sharing is caring' mentality there, Sup. Snatching all that Prison Break and then refusing to balance the ratios! Pfft, you're the cretinous underdogs of the fine upstanding pirate community!

Haha At 4.4kbps! Then you clear the torrents from your app so they don't seed properly at 100% completion! Despicable! Truly despicable!

oh, i liked it

lol @ the massive music folders, i've only got 15.9 GB

To the guy who said the death metal, yeah i've got some necrophagist (really like them) and i'll check out the other bands you said

i'll probably torrent all the other reccomendations too and then buy some stuff i really like from the stuff i torrent
