Cranfield Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 When you are surfing around the Internet, do you listen to music ? I have downloaded all my favourites through KaZaA Lite (same as KaZaA without the adverts, spyware, etc ). Some are stored on My Music, others I have burned into CD,s. I,m currently listening to Macy Gray, it was Bananarama just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave15 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I have Kazaa. I cant see the point of buying CD's now. A good program. if Only I had broardband then it would be able to down load the videos as well you can download hole films! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Big Dave, You want to think about changing to KaZaA Lite. You would be amazed at all the spyware that KaZaA dumps onto your computer. If you haven,t got a "spyware killer" a good FREE one is Ad-aware. Go to http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ you can download Ad-aware from there. Use it to clean up your files. Broadband allows you to download a song in a couple of minutes.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Ok mp3-wav so you can listen on your "home" cd player looses a lot of quality . It sounds flat and the bass notes do not go low enough . Copyed cd's from an original also suffer from the same problem . By the way hi-fi is one of my other "hobbies2 so your lucky you are not reading a 20 page long report on the sound dynamics of copyed cd's all the best yis yp :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Wow cranfield v. clued up I'm impressed mate and YP too! I don't find mine lose quality personally and for the price difference (30p a cd to a £13 album ) If I like the band or songs enough then I guess I'll buy the album but often i download listen a few times then ditch them. I'm gonna go for "Feeder - Buck Rogers" and "Seven Days in the sun", probably be more EGNWT and BigDave's taste than the rest of you pensioners went to see them in concert a few weeks ago, they were great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 If we compare the "average" CD player and speaker system, against a computer with a CD player and a decent stereo headset, I don,t think the difference in quality is significant. I appreciate that sophisticated CD stereo systems are something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooktrout Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 I often whistle Vera Lynn songs when the pigeons are slow coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave15 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Thanks Cranfield nice link ! Its amazing what rubbish that dam program dumps on your computer. I dont really know what sort of music i like if I hear a song on the raido i get on Kazaa and download it. I also down loaded deer Hunter 2 and Rocky Mountain Hunter on kazaa they took hours but were well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Glad u said "average" there cranners. On my home system i listen to them big black disks . You young uns might know em as funny looking cd's that are far too big to fit in your 'orrible cd players. But in the car i'll listen to copyed disks. all the best yis yp :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 What,s this KaZaA Lite programme then, is it any good? I get my music from WinMX and burn some onto cd keeping others on the pc to play whilst browsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 My house stereo is ****!...but in the truck I've got a Becker traffic pro sat-nav system....Nirvana at full blast never sounded so good!! Pensioners!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjimmer Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 You lot obviously have some hearing left. I can't understand the words of any modern song that has any music in the background. 1950's songs, I can understand, or is it that I know the words? Anything after the early 70's, I have to listen too at least a dozen times before I know what the words are. Does everybody else understand the words of a song when they first hear it played???

Cranfield Posted May 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 KaZaA Lite is the same as KaZaA, without the spyware and adverts. Do a Google search and you can download it FREE. It has music, films, pictures, books, articles etc. Reputedly, the only SAFE music download facility on the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
