I was a limewire guy and loved how easy it was. My question is now, what is the easiest way to download music for free? Is limewire still a good option? Consider me somewhat of a moron when it comes to computers. I just want to find the song and then drag it into itunes as I did back in the day. Is there still a way to do that?

Works awesome. Just get what you need to download mp3 off youtube you don't need everything dvdvideosoft has to offer just the youtube to mp3 converter. Believe it or not the download will sound better than the actual youtube. But even better, you now have the MP3 with CD quality. (I recommend using the 320 bit rate)

Look for the best quality youtube of that song. Once you hear something that sounds like good copy, paste the url of it into the window of the program I pasted above. It will download and there you go you now have an MP3 for that song.

I have used this program and technique a lot. Come back and ask if you have any questions.

Torrents 101

Download UTorrent.

http://download.cnet.com/uTorrent/3000-2196_4-10528327.html

Find some Torrent Trackers

http://scrapetorrent.com/
http://btjunkie.org/browse/Audio

Search for what you want. A list will come up with available torrents. Find one that is recent and has a high volume. Hit download torrent.
At this point the torrent should automatically start downloading into UTorrent. When it is finished go to your download file on your computer and run the program so you know it works. From there you can transfer it to your music or video folder. Sometimes a torrent might download but not work. It happens. Just go back and try another one until it works.

Torrents are the best way to go for downloading both music and movies. But I strongly suggest you get a BT Guard to protect you from peers that your sharing with.

LOL!!! Recording artists never got paid from album sales in the past. What is it something like $.05 per CD they get? They make their cash on tour or movie cameos.
