I`m rejoining our AG group,so let me in <img>
Spaceboy, what’s your name on AG? I’m thinking of sending you some live Motorpsycho, it this sounds ok gimme a name and I’ll start flooding.
Also, do you(or any1 else) know a good way to get AG to list all the different versions of the songs? I’ve got about 5 different Nerve Tattoo versions, but AG only lists 2. It doesn’t even tell me which is which. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Robert,
You might need to give them all slightly different names, ammareing, ammaryng etc. Hope that works for you, had the same problem earlier with that Hellacopters Ramones cover Where’d Ya Go <img>
Thanks for the songs!

Spaceboy`s name on AG is Spinvis;on the different versions thing,the amount of time of the song is all you really have to go by.
Yikes <img> Another moment of freakscene symmetry <img>

Thanks for the help!
Salami, I’ve sent you some St Thomas songs, he makes my heart warm and happy. I hope he’s nice to you so you can be friends.
I think AG is no more <img> <img> all songs are blocked <img> <img> <img>
yeah, too bad <img>
it’s the top news on the RIAA site: RIAA bad news
They’ve made a settlement with audiogalaxy. the result seems to be the death of AG. <img> <img>
I’m trying winmx.com right now. It’s working quite fine (napster-like). They claim to be spyware-free.

fascist assholes. <img>
Hey!
I agree completely BR! I have a couple nites off so will check out some sites to see if they offer the group deal…think the colonel posted an option earlier in this thread, along with Flying Cloud and a couple others.
No wonder my satellite didn’t crash last evening…wondered why no songs were coming or going <img>

I’ll have to reload it, but I’m pretty sure you can set up buddy lists or something to that effect…
It’s Napster/Morpheus but with another name and has quite a few more perks than AUD.GAL. offered.
Tones, aka deepsludge, was telling me about several other file sharing sites. We should ask him what he knows.
I’ll be back…just not sure when…later Freaksceners <img>
Thanks for the help Colonel <img>
Hellacopters group I was in is moving to… filetopia
They are updating their program soon to help deal with all the ag users flooding the site. Comes with spyware though, adaware would take care of that. I’ll check it out in a couple days once they get the new deal up and running. Think you can do groups etc.

Hey Allison, the Filetopia thing looks promising. I’ll have to keep my eye on it for the new version. Might be worth a try…

Here’s an overview over mp3 downloading platforms in the
post-Audiogalaxy-world as far as I know.
Completion or correction is welcome… <img>
I think KaZaA is the biggest mp3 platform now. The problem with KaZaA is, that it forces you to d/l a load of spyware, which tells the spyware-owner about everything you do on your PC (and it slowed down my PC dramatically). There is also KaZaA lite (it delivers KaZaA without spyware) but this site seems to be down at the moment <img>
By the way: To remove spyware from the PC you can d/l, install and run the program ad-aware .
Another big site for mp3’s is WinMX , which has no spyware. There are enough users there, so one can find rare songs, too.
They have functions like multi-sourced downloading, where you d/l one file from several users at the same time, which goes really fast.
The others like blubster , grokster or filetopia (and some others more) seem to have not so many users online, so that it is difficult to find the rarer stuff (but I might be wrong…) filetopia still hasn’t got the new version up, with which they promise to launch groups etc.
gnutella seems to be big, too, but I haven’t got experience with it.
None of these programs is fully comparable to AG, though. I’m missing the easy satellite queuing (no thinking about which user is online, who has which file etc), the search by genre, the groups, of course… <img>
