hey, i was wondering if there was a free music downloading site for macs that are equivilent to kazaa?

limewire is the best of the bunch as far as i know.

You have a couple file-sharing clients from which to choose. Try Acquisition and Limewire. These and others can be found at MacUpdate.com

There's no such thing as "free" music. Somebody, somewhere paid for it. Downloading that music from others is no different than walking into a record store and swiping a CD off the shelf. Just my $.02. -Wycke

Wycke, Yes there is. Lots of bands post 'that' music freely to promote themselves, and there is an awful lot of public domain music out there that is beyond the protection of copyright at this time. As with most things, it is up to the end user to make the decision to upload or download what they know or think to be copyrighted material. Not every member of the 'Napster' generation is merely an incarnation of a guy in sunglasses and a trench coat walking suspiciously through a record store. Granted, it is prevalent, but you can't condemn the technology or the 'good' people who use it in order to cast wrath upon the ones who do wrong.

Unlike most people, the reason I download very little music and, instead, buy CDs is because of sound quality. Newer compression algorithms come closer to matching CD quality, but I'll take the full 1440kb/s any day. ----paxcirc.a-

And for what it's worth... The availability of downladable music has NOT changed the way I purchase music. I will always support my favorite artists because I prefer to own the complete CD, including liner notes , cover artwork, and production/engineering info, photos & other credits. In fact, there have been many occassions where a downloaded "sample" prompted me to seek out and purchase even more material :-)
