SoulSeek is the absolute best program for finding music. It has chat rooms and is sort of like MiRC. www.slsk.net I just started using it tonight for the first time in many months and i'm finding all the IDM/Techno i need!

I use Win Mx but find it is not sufficent as I cannot find a couple of lesser known songs.

We've tried just about everything and have found BearShare to be the best. Kazaa was crap and was hard to find elusive songs. Soulseek was great for a while - and then would go very odd.

Soulseek is great for lesser known stuff IMO. I've found so much rare material in the past year. Edit: Yeah, soulseek does get 'odd' after a while. I now can't use my search function, but have so many friends from the IDM room that i can just browse them and find what i want. I've known some of these people for about a year, they all seem like good friends like this place. It's like The Pub, but on slsk.

I've used that, and it works pretty good if you can get it to work. It's also not too good for music, better for movies, applications and such.

Basically you download the BitTorrent program and then you surf torrent sites for single files and such. You find the file, download it (about 2kb or somethin small like that), then it opens in the program and starts downloading. Most of the file banks don't have large selections of music, but it's a good program.

What about Limewire? That's what I use. Not just audio files but videos, etc, too. It's shareware, and costs a one off payment of about $20. Everything I've ever wanted to download, I've found on Limewire.

Oh, I also heard that it was one of the safest programs out there. That was just hearsay though. It also has a chat room. Instant message other users and so on.

I use Kazaa Lite. I can find basically anything I want on it, though I hear to use Kazaa you have to pay now? Just glad I use the hacked version, though I rarely d/load music anymore. I already have over 1800 different songs...
