Downloading flying music?

We've got the PS Engineering CD/Intercom in our plane, and listen to CDs on
long trips.

I am obviously slipping into "dinosaur" status, as I have never downloaded
music, for "burning" onto a blank CD. I *have* burned CDs, but I've always
done it from tracks played off of another CD.

Does anyone here burn CDs for listening while in flight? Any recommended
sites? Tips? Are these things still free, or did all the freebies get sued
out of existence?

Thanks!

BTW: We've got FOUR new additions to the Rec.Aviation Rogue's Gallery!
They a

- The famous (infamous?) Badwater Bill Phillips, and a zillion planes he's
flown...
- Ross Richardson and his super 180 hp 172!
- CJ Campbell, world-famous flight instructor, and his fabulous 206!
- Bryan Chaisone, and his cool Robinson R-22 helicopter...

See all these guys at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm .

Jay, you are forgetting the first rule of parenthood in the digital
age... "Go ask your kids!" If they don't know how, one of their
classmates does.

Just tell your child what songs you want, don't ask questions like
"Where did you get this?", and it will get done in a matter of minutes.


And remember this, above all, do it at the hotel through a router over
a broadband connection and NEVER, EVER, do this type of work on a
computer that can be traced back to you! ;-)

(When the Music Cops come, you can always claim that it must have been
a customer who asked to use it to access the internet to check their
email.)

hmm i have one that i use ALOT called "Soul Seek"
http://www.slsknet.org/
it works great for me has a bit of a learning curve to it and sometimes you
have to wait but no thats no big deal if you have broadband thats up 24/7.

Sure. From my own CDs and also downloaded from...

Any recommended
sites?

....the Apple Musicsto http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/

Best selection of music you can find online. Plus you can burn as many
CDs as you like, 100% legal. For Mac and PC.

Tips? Are these things still free,

It was never and will never be "free". It was always theft. But now
we're slowly getting alternatives.

Cheers,
Jens

Itunes looks good. Too bad you have to have to be in the US to use it. I
guess Sir William doesn't need the business from the rest of us.

Jay, the goobers here all claim ignorance to the most obvious source of
music for burring: File sharing software. I'd bet a whole dollar that most
of the folks saying "But it's illegal!" either are using, have used, or have
a teenage in their house who currently uses this perfectly legal software
for somewhat nefarious purposes.

There are all kinds of this software out the Morpheus, KaZaa,
DirectConnect and so on. Unfortunately, they all install loads of spyware
on your computer when you install the sharing software which can bring your
computer system to it's virtual knees. If you run a spyware removal utility
on 'em, the program will no longer work.

The solution? Kazaa Lite. It's a hacked version of Kazaa without all the
spyware. It's not a legal piece of software and Kazaa is going after the
KazaaLite people, so I am told, so you may find it hard to find. However,
you might know a manly guy or two you can email privately who can make this
program available to you send this file to you if you are real nice about
it.

Is it illegal to download copyrighted music? OF COURSE! Do people abuse
the system by burning music CDs instead of buying them? Of course! Do I
give a damn? Hell no! Music companies have been screwing me by charging
way too much for their music for a long time. It's about time there was
some competition (illegal or no) that will bring them back to reality.

I use the service every now and then to make compilations of my fave music.
Most - but not all - the compilations I've made are songs form CDs I own (I
have a massive collection). I downloaded some complete CD's and have been
darn glad I didn't buy them because they suck!

Anyway, let me know privately if you need help with the KazaaLite.

i forgot about kazaa lite i still say soulseek is better though
http://www.slsknet.org/
u can also get alot of stuff off gnutella clients such as eMule
and neither one bogs me down w/ a bunch of spyware infact i think neither of
these has any to be honest.
And besides Kazaa Lite K++ is damn near non existant anymore. In fact last
time i was at their website i found the link to soulseek and a few others.

It's illegal.

You may send your whole dollar to me at my residence. I believe my address
has been posted here before, so no need for me to do so now.

Not that I expect a low-life like you to actually make good on your wager.

After all, if you're going to break the law, why bother using legally
obtained software to do it?

If I'd had any respect for you left after your tirade regarding building
computers, I sure wouldn't have any left now.

Music companies have been screwing me by charging
way too much for their music for a long time. It's about time there was
some competition (illegal or no) that will bring them back to reality.

Here's a thought: don't like the way music companies have been screwing you
by charging way too much for their music? DON'T BUY THEIR MUSIC! Really,
it's that simple. Using your rationalization, anyone who feels that a
particular car is overpriced, or that a particular airplanes is overpriced,
is perfectly well justified in stealing that car or airplane.

music.

(I

Why would you waste bandwidth and time downloading music from the Internet
when you can get a legal, higher-quality copy ripping it yourself? Oh,
right...not all the music you're downloading is music you already own.
You're stealing it.

I downloaded some complete CD's and have been
darn glad I didn't buy them because they suck!

That still doesn't make it legal, or morally right. Instead, you could
patronize a music store where they allow you to listen to CDs before you
buy. A decade ago, it was only the mom-and-pop stores that allowed this,
but these days even places like Borders, Barnes & Nobles, and the like have
listening kiosks set up. If they don't have the CDs out that you want to
listen to, ask a salesperson, or go to a non-chain store where they will let
you listen to whatever you want.

After all, you're the one touting the benefits of doing business with the
locals, right?

Or even better, since the real reason you're stealing music is that you
think it's overpriced, don't get a copy of the music, whether through
purchase or theft.

Anyway, let me know privately if you need help with the KazaaLite.

I'm not the kind of guy to go around turning petty, small-minded criminals
like you in, but I sure look forward to hearing that the RIAA or Kazaa has
caught up with your immoral behavior and taken you to the cleaners. Of
course, I realize that statistically speaking, the odds are low they will
find you. But my fantasy remains alive, nonetheless.

In a way it really does not seem to be that much differant than recording a
song you like off of the radio.

Stealing cars and airplanes is not the same as downloading music. When
somebody invents a matter relicator that can perfectly copy cars and
airplanes then you better believe people will be using it. When that
happens then downloading music that someone is generous enough to share will
be the same as "stealing that car or airplane".
