If you want quality mp3s, buy the cd and encode them yourself. Otherwise,
you're often stuck with crap. "Ignoramus16608" wrote in message ... I want to download some mp3 files to play in my vehicle stereo (which supports mp3). What's the current way of getting that stuff?

I hunted down the last copy of Kazaa Lite and use that. Otherwise it's
usually FTP's or friends. P.S. In Canada it's completely legal to download music, it's the uploading thats illegal . -- ------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 GMC Sonoma ZQ8 SLS Step-Side Extended Cab - 4.3L Vortec / 4L60E http://www.sounddomain.com/id/sl4ck3r Is sex dirty?

You can download kazaa lite from kazaa. Not sure why that strikes me as
funny. "Supernoma" om wrote in message ... I hunted down the last copy of Kazaa Lite and use that. Otherwise it's usually FTP's or friends. P.S.

Mark...have you done any Usenet downloading...generally the good posters
there cite the bitrate and encoder used.. I have had great success there.....always deleting them when I'm done previewing of course.....to me the Kazaa is the place where the encoding sucks ass "Mark Zarella" wrote in message ...

Most mp3s posted on Usenet are encoded @192 or higher. I could download a full CDs' worth of high quality mp3s long before I pull out enough CDs from my collection (over 300 CDs), pick out the songsI want, ripped the songs, and encode the wavs. |

I'd still make sure I was getting a good copy from a quality encoder. ReefMad mentioned that people usually indicate what the encoder is? |

And you can get good quality files if you know what you are downloading. Try getting a newsreader/binary downloader like NewsBin Pro. (I have a copy if you want) And browse the groups until you find a genre you like. IF you are on cable like me it is easy to get 3.0 Mbps download speed. This is almost impossible on any P2P client due to the number of downloaders vs. uploaders. IF you want more info feel free to ask me. EFFENDI |

a typical subject line in Usenet
Artist - EAC (rip tool) - 192 VBR (bit rate) LAME (encoder) Album Track# Track Title you see it all the time.....if there nothing there and *.nfo file is usually available that will let you know the encoder/ripper used, plus a bunch of other stuff,,,,,only problem is it not real searchable for particular artists....just see what's there and grab what you're interested in then delete them after your preview period and purchase the CD retail so as no to upset the kazillionaires who have suffered through billionairism depression.

The searchability problem could be tough. I wonder if any websites (even
google?) log them? Oh yeah, another option is to see if what you're looking for is on emusic.com. I've downloaded several cd's from there. They're giving away free trial memberships for each email address. They use a high bitrate, but I don't know the encoder.

It's sort of searchable with these two web sites:

Newsbin handles yenc just fine. Agent is has always been my default
newsreader because I am so used to it. Newsbin and Xnews are probably better newsreaders in terms of features, but I couldn't get a feel for them. It's not like switching from EZ CD Creator to Nero which was a no brainer. On Thu, 22 Jan 2004 15:45:26 GMT, "ReEfErMaDnEsS" wrote: how does newsbin pro handle all the yenc stuff out there?

70,000 *full* albums, all ripped in EAC secure mode (flawless rips), all encoded with LAME alt preset standard. (Highest quality VBR MP3s). You'll never go back.
