Thanks! Downloads are fast!

They're only samples of the song and not the whole song.

Nevermind

Cool, you do need to sign in with your Amazon account, just to let you know. Thanks!

You're not looking for the 30-second sample...these seem to be complete tracks.

 

[joehead]

Wow!!! There really is some good stuff on there! Definately hot. Site says that songs are updated every 6 hours, very nice

Thanks OP!

 

[Mongals]

hmm I like thievery corporation, thanks

 

[highwayxingfrog]

Some good tracks in there. Thanks OP!

 

[CyberTron]

Not a thread crap by any means....

I dont get it why companies cant just try and come up with thier own stuff! not the music stuff, but if you notice in the top left corner they have "beta" sections now. Just like google. And Yahoo 360?! invite only service for now... JUST LIKE GOOGLE! this is getting to be worse than the Movie Industry with its lack of imagination so much so that is has to remake every movie that was ever made. blah! sorry for the rant, just annoying.

 

[MogyBear]

Wow, there are actually quality songs available. As a musician, I have a really diverse musical taste and I fund a lot of this stuff to be awesome-- definitely not the crap you find on the radio.

half the dropkick murphy's song is a big bleep, guess these are G rated lol

 

[Jassi]

I see the option to stream a 30 sec preview but not the option to download a track. Can anyone help?

 

[csyberblue]

thanks a lot OP!

Jassi: click the song title, then you will get to a page where you can click a button labeled "Download now"

Why does Beck always sound like he has cotton in his mouth?

Awesome link!

 

[rivethead]

Our these tracks the usual 128mbps crap sounding MP3 files (no highs, no lows, cymbals sounding like frying bacon), or are they quality?

I know this is OT, but are there any sites (legal) that offer songs with CD quality sound (WAV files or non-lossy compression)?

I can't seem to find any.

There is allofmp3.com or musicmp3.ru, but some people don't see that as legal (don't know why).

Thanks for the link! Gonna have to do some downloading when I get home tonight

[saxophonoia]

thanks, saved for later.

 

[Nick5324]

Thanks OP

Edit: "You have exceeded our download limit" I got this message after i downloaded 8 songs.

Edit2: Looks like the download limit is for each song. There was one file that wouldn't download. I tried it 5 or 6 different times, never worked. It must have counted the clicks as downloads, and cut me off for that song.

 

[rivethead]

Well 196kbps is better than many.......but it's still not CD quality sound. Not even close.

 

[rivethead]

Thanks for those links! Those sites appear to be what I've been looking for. allofmp3.com has a pretty huge selection too, with lots of rare stuff, bootlegs, and b-sides.

I don't mind paying for songs, but dammit I want quality. Wish more sites (MusicMatch, Itunes, etc.) would figure that out because I know there are many who agree with me.

 

[Ensign]

Actually, some of the ones I downloaded are only 128kbps.

[ShowdOWN]

thanks, but too bad i dont recognize about 90% of the artists.

 

[Ensign]

Actually, I noticed that if you go here you seem to be able to download even more free mp3s by clicking on different types of music.

Weird?
