MP3 prog without the spyware???

Post by chimdogger »

Hey gentlemen,
This may be a little off topic of PC security but, do you guys know of any MP3 sharing programs (like napster) that do not have SPYWARE??? I have heard of a few like bearshare and gnuetella but I have heard that they have SPYWARE attached to them. Also what are people using now that napster is dead???? I was looking for a couple of songs that I have the "CD of" but would like the mp3 version ;) . Anyways thanks in advance.

Hey blebs
Do you use Morpheus? :cool:
I have a friend who used NAPSTER and he is interested in something like this....your opinion would be appreciated.
Thanks pal :D :D :D

Actually you should thank Prey521. He's the one who told me about it. I tried Winmx and most all of the time I could only connect to 1 server. Out the windows for that proggy!
I scanned Morpheus for spyware with Ad Aware and didn't find any, so hopefully that won't change.
If you ever need to check a program for spyware, before you download it, go to this

Known Spyware List :D

Give WinMX a try. Make sure you get 2.6. Major changes.

They now have a P2P system so don't need servers.

No spyware. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't gotten it in a few weeks to download this version and try.

I may give it another go soon. I'm not a terribly big MP3 downloader, but my boy's are! :)

I would also recommend WinMX...pretty decent program and it actually looks pretty similar to Nap, so it is easy to use even for those not so great with computers.

If you already have the CD go here to DL a nifty little proggie that will enable u to rip tracks directly to mp3, WAV, etc. No need to convert after ripping. Have fun :D
