    Like what? Srsly I'm not dogging you; I just don't get it.

    I get 99% of what I'm looking for in high quality through btjunkie or Pirate Bay: music, movies, TV shows, audio books, etc. I'm on Demonoid, what, and TVTorrents but I only use them as a last resort so that I can more easily keep my ratio in the positive. I even use Google to find open indexes of videos and mp3s when I want something quickly or I'm at another computer that I don't want to install torrent software on.

    What is it you can only find via Limewire?

    I don't really have any specific examples. Torrents, to me, are usually entire albums or the new singles that artist release. For instance, I just saw on Facebook a link to a Fabolous youtube song; I put in the song title in PiratesB and got no results. I put in Fabolous instead and get mostly his albums with some random singles mixed in. So I would think now, I have to google for the album title to find the album. Then, I have to de-click all the songs I don't want from the album.

    Maybe it isn't about availability but more convenience. I used to be able to pop open a program, search for a title and instantly download. Now it seems I have to find out what album the songs from if its not popular enough, scour PiratesBay or what.cd for the album and then select which songs I want to download. Limewire just seems much more convenient for what I used it for.

    Thank you to the person who left me a feedback with a lead.

    Nice, classic winamp. :)

    Is that a screen shot from your playlists? I haven't seen anyone who listened to Lifetime. The album Jersey's Best Dancers is where Saves the Day got their sound for Can't Slow Down.

    but you are downloading 92-126kbps rips.

    it's 'listenable' but...it's no 320kbps V0. thats the problem with limewire/mp3rocket et al. people just rip cd's with windows media player and upload it. or use keepvid from youtube clips.

    sounds like buttsniff.

    Yeah, that's probably true. I'm not really an audiophile so it never really bothers me, as long as it's the right version.

    320 is not V0. A 320 contains more data MB wise, but unless you have the best ears in the world you could not tell the difference between a V0 rip and a 320.

    I have some demonoid invites as well. Exchange for green e-penis aka rep.

    One rule: I won't send any invites to members here that I don't recognize. Sorry, rooks....make yourselves known here and I'll get you next time.

    Email me through the board and include your user name if it doesn't already.

    I still use Demonoid. I've been using it for a few years now, and it has never let me down.

    I use Google Blog Search a lot for downloading albums. Just search "Artist - Album Title" and you'll likely find some blogs that have posted mediafire, rapidshare, or megaupload links to albums. It works out most of the time.

    When that doesn't work, I use Waffles or another site that shall remain nameless.

    I've sent invites to da_juice, hippieloser, trustme, and longtimefan.

    I think I have one invite left...
