I don't use mp3s of music I don't already own, so I'm not looking to pirate, but where are people migrating to now that audiogalaxy has gone to the big p2p network in the sky?

prolly to KaZaa, i would advise KaZaa Light though to avoid spyware.

Get Ad-Aware. It is free and kicks spyware out ;)

Yes, Anyone even who dosen't use a filesharing program should download AdWare Shareware just to see if they have anything, and for anyone who has ever installed any media sharing utility, definatly buy the full version.....

Kazaa even on there website claims there "against spyware"
but im aware of atleast 3 that it installs.
Cydoor, Downware, and Im not sure the name of the 3rd...

I've been told Kazaa Lite (www.kazaalite.tk) is safe and spyware free, And I use it on a personal computer with no data that im in any worry if its seen, and the systems resources arn't blasted away like with any other file sharing tool.

If you had Audio Galaxy, it does have spyware, so get AdAware...

KaZaA Lite - http://www.kazaalite.com
(Don't go to the .tk as it has 5 popup ads)

If you use Ad-aware with KaZaa it finds a couple of spyware files installed (cydoor and someone else), but if you let ad-aware remove them, it breaks KaZaa and you have to reinstall it and once you do that it just re-installs the spyware, that's why you should just go with KaZaa lite.

I use Kazza, just untick all the extra install add-ons, and untick start on startup. Then just connect when you want.

I'm against the spyware inclusions but its part and part of the majority of freeware programs nowadays :(

Audiogalaxy was the best, was even better than Napster if you ask me. Go ahead ask me. It was quick and I ALWAYS found everything I looked for.

Now I am in the same situation, I have tried XoloX and Kazaa... both seem to be pretty good, but is it true that Kazaa is in another country its much harder to sue them like the Morpheuses, AGs and Napsters?

Go with Kazaa out of the two I have suggested...

Kazza is ok. WinMX is a little hard to find good stuff on but Limewire and other Gnutella clones are the best I think. I dunno. IRC works too ;-)
