<p>I just got a brand new laptop and want to start collecting a music library.</p>
<p>What do you reccomend? I prolly dont have the money to buy all them on itunes..
is limewire safe? or is there anything like limewire anyone reccomends? or can someone explain what torrents are and is that a good way to get music? also, is there a service that you can pay monthly and just get unlimited music or something??</p>
<p>my limewire hasn’t caused any problems, but i recommend youtube downloading [just search “youtube to mp3 converter” and click on the first link it gives you]. really fast and easy, just be prepared to go through the songs and rename them</p>
<p>Torrents for full albums, Limewire for individual songs, but I haven’t used it for over a year. I also hijack my computer’s audio when I can’t find a song (a certain Yale-based group’s song comes to mind).</p>
<p>You really can’t go wrong with iTunes… everything’s so much organized, easier to find, and it’s legal :)</p>
<p>If you don’t have the money to just download endless amounts of music on iTunes, maybe set aside $15-20 per month to buy an iTunes gift card for yourself. It’s easier than using a credit card with an iTunes account and it’ll help you limit your spending if you’re worried about the money. It might take a long time to build up a really extensive library, but it still gives you enough money to buy a reasonable amount of songs per month.</p>
