Shareaza 2.0 is out.
its a program that lets you search for files on the Gnutella, eDonkey, and "Gnutella 2" network.
it also acts as a BitTorrent client.
with the 2.0 release, Shareaza is released under the GPL, which means it will always be free and open source.
you can get Shareaza here:
http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/
you can also download its source code (seems to be written in C++)

its called "Azureus" - which is the name of some frog or something.
basically, its the best BitTorrent program i've used. it's worked better for me than 'ABC,' BT++, and the single-file clients (official and shad0ws). i liked it so much, i even donated a couple of bucks to the author.
it's Java based, and runs in just about any OS i believe. and for Windows users, don't let the Java part scare you it doesn't look or feel like a Java app (like LimeWire), it "feels" like a native Windows app.

First, you can listen to 30 seconds of all their songs for free.
This is the cool part of the service:
Basically, search for what you want, listing to it (if you've never heard it before or aren't sure if you selected the correct song). Once you know what you want - go load up Kazaa and download the full song.
iTunes is a great little app to browse and sample music (its like going to Best Buy where they have those headphones set up to listing to some CDs).
Of course, if you can afford it, just pay the $0.99 for the song you want. I don't think I would pay unless the songs are about $0.49 each.
Searching for "Gravity Kills" returned Zero results, which pissed me off. There are two CDs of theirs I was considering buying soon, and I wanted to see how easily I could get one song for $0.99 (to test the whole "buy a song download" concept, and see how their format works).
One very good thing about iTunes... Read More »
i know a lot of people out there are fans of music and downloading music.
one of the most successful "legit" music downloading service was iTunes for Mac. today iTunes for Windows finally came out.
you can check it out at apple.com/itunes. it is Free to download and use.
also - its more than just a music store, its a media player, kinda like Windows Media Player or Winamp. it has built in streaming music (you dont have to pay for it, its free), visualizations, and some other stuff.
it also has the slick MacOS X interface, which a lot of people like.
