I Lurrrrrrve LimeWire ^_^
Downloading music off the internet used to be a bitch.
It involves weeks going through the gazillions websites listed in search engine results trying to find the exact copy of the music I want that is also free.
Take finding my ideal ringing tone for instance - Whitney singing the National Anthem during Superbowl XXV. I fell in love the version the first time I heard it. Nobody ever sang it better after that.
So I finally found a free copy from this patriotic song website set up for the recent 4th of July celebration but there were some interference in the middle.
Later, after being taught by a colleague, I found a clear copy in YouTube which I first had to download as an FLV file then convert to mp3 with the FLV convertor. The copy had some announcements and applause which were not not what I wanted.
Lucky I work in an office with an arsenal of sound and video editing programs :) Unfortunately, due to our inexperience using these software, the edited version as not as clear as the original.
FRUSTRATING!!!!!!
Froggy introduced me to LimeWire after I asked her to recommend me some websites as she seems to have a whole collection of songs in her laptop.
"Ai yah why go searching for websites? So mah huan," she said.
LimeWire is a free software that can be downloaded to your computer. Songs are downloaded using the software and not off a website. I downloaded 32 songs the first day after installing the software 
including my ringing tone.
On the down side, not all songs can be downloaded. It really depends on their library. Older songs may not be available, but I did manage to get several versions of "Earth Angel".
If only I had found out about it sooner.
