Hey guys, does anyone know of any sites where I can get (preferably free) music? I know that tracks can be burned onto CD-RW's, is this the same for mp3's? What I really want to do is gets hundereds of songs onto a CD that I can listen to on the computer. (please tell me if i'm not making any sense;))

 

Ta in advance. :cool:

Guys,

 

Let's not go down the "Are MP3's technically illegal, or technically legal?" path... Most of the bad press that MP3 gets is P2P software swapping of them. As far as I know, creating MP3's, ripping them from CD's etc and used for PRIVATE USE is completely legal in most countries. Contrary to the music industries attempts to stop users copying CDs, I believe in many cases it is stopping the user from practicing legal rights that they have...

So the answer to the original question is that if you have the music on CD, it is in general OK to create an MP3, just as long as you don't distribute it, or use it in the public arena.

 

There is also music out there that the copyright allows you to do whatever you like with it, or allows you to have it without paying any money for it. This is technically what is only meant to be swapped by any MP3 P2P program, so that they aren't breaking the law...
