The first song I ever D/L from Nabster with my SO was out song Inside Out by Eve6. I know it is a creepy song but it wa shte first one we ever sang to at the top of our lungs together. We love the “tie me to the Beeeedpoooost!!!” part

Kelli, since you were here last, we have a new forum called IMHO. It was initiated for just this type of survey as well as debates that aren’t quite great. There’s still a bit of overlap between these forums and its confusing for all of us, but eventually they’ll develop their own flavors. I’m gonna move this thread to IMHO now.
I would suggest you browse some online music stores like CDNOW, Amazon, etc. You can browse by genre to get ideas.
Not that I would ever condone such a practice for music piracy. If you want one song like Margaritaville, you should go out and buy the $15 Buffett CD like the RIAA says.
Yep. You just need software to covert from MP3 to CDA (CD Audio) format. If your burner software doesn’t do that, you can use Winamp (among others) to convert MP3 to WAV. I think all burner software will convert WAV to CDA.
I’ve got this disc already–I burned it off CD’s I’d already bought before Napster came along. You can burn MP3s to a CD, but it’s a data disc; your regular CD player won’t read it. You have to convert it back to CD audio format–there are utilities available for download to do that. Remember that by the time you burn them to an audio CD they’ve been converted (with variable quality) from the original format to MP3 and then back again. You lose some quality with each conversion, I think. I don’t think you’d notice the difference under most circumstances, though–as long as the first conversion was done with the right settings and decent hardware.
I wish I could remember the name of the manufacturer, but there’s a DVD player out there that will play a CD-ROM full of mp3s. (In addition to DVD, CD-Audio, etc)
I haven’t got (or particularly want a cd player), but I’ll point you to some good stuff that I’ve pulled off of Napster.
Velvet Chain (also go to http://www.velvetchain.com for samples)
Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Ani DiFranco
Beth Orton
Low
K’s Choice
The Machine in the Garden (ethereal goth music, not to everybody’s taste)
Luscious Jackson
Mazzy Star
And last, but not least: Delta-9 Project. (One of the members is a poster here)
And of course, Metallica. Download it to piss them off, but delete it before listening.
I share all of this (except Metallica), but I’m not often logged onto Napster.
You can access my computer by typing “\24.162.77.141” into the “run” box in windows. At least for a while. Send me an email if you find something you like.
