Hi,
Limewire and Torrents are the best resources to download songs.
I mostly prefer Limewire to download my favorite tracks.

I used to use a site called "Multiply" (Similar to myspace but with a music sharing feature), but then they disabled the Sharing feature.
Now I just use google, but it has a limited variety.

Well, you need a torrent client... (uTorrent is recommended)... And then you go to the torrent of your choose, hit download, and then open it with the torrent client in question.

Thanks Established Member. Hope that solves Kochie's problem.
anyway, as am feeling a bit more energetic I like to add some more things.
Pirate Bay's site:- http://thepiratebay.org/
Enter your search term in the search box provided, for example:- "nine inch nails with teeth".
The search results will come up with type, name, time of upload, total size, number of seeders and leechers.
You click on your most preferred item there. Make an intelligent choice. When downloading a torrent, look for the most number of seeders for a particular torrent file. Size and the filetype also plays a role. Never ever trust files with .rar extension. They mostly are fakes and can contain unwanted files.
whatever, on the next page, you should find "download this torrent" link and click it.
a .torrent file gets downloaded.
get a torrent client, preferably µTorrent or BitTorrent.
open the .torrent file with the client of your choice.
you're done. Just wait for the file to get downloaded.
Optional:- You could help others by seeding the downloaded file even if it's completely downloaded. Sharing is Fun.:innocent:
Sorry for the too long post. Hope other members just will not get angry and swear over me.:

I use torrents for full discographies only. Single albums are hardly being seeded.

Check out www.torrentz.com . It's a torrent search engine. It scans several torrent sites like Pirate Bay, Mininova, Demonoid, Sumotorrent etc.

Only useful for single tracks.
I prefer direct downloads from rapidshare/mediafire/megaupload. A good way of finding downloads is to google "[insert album/artist name here] + [insert random file host here]". Other good ways of finding music to download is to look up some blogs.

I second these two ways. Which are related because music download blogs host their files on sites like rapidshare and megaupload. There are many good blogs that post links to single songs and a few that link to whole albums. These are my two big sources of music after Soulseek.

There a more than a few that link to whole albums. Blogs and Sordo are my sources for music (I rarely use torrents).
