How to use Kazaa?

lv619 · 31-12-2004, 02:21 AM

Can someone give a kazaa noob like my self a run down on how to find specific songs or albums.

For example I'm trying to find songs from Live's new album "Awake, the best of live" yet I can only manage to pull one or two tracks from the search.

Thanks.

Don't botehr with Kazaa, all the files are corrupt - so basically whatever you download wont work anyway.

Try Limewire, its a much better one and its very easy to use. You'll have a much better chance of finding what you want (and its good quality too).

You can get Limewire from www.download.com, just run a search for it and it should come up. Failing that, look in the 'file sharing' category.

Btw, the album is good (i have it here lol).

ARES is good for mp3's, Kazaa is only good for corrupt music and spyware infected files.

Thanks man...

just looking at their site now, is it worth going pro? or is basic sufficient?

The correct way use Kazaa is to go to control panel\add remove programs\ select Kazaa and selrct the delete option. The run an industrial strength spy-ware scanner.

Its a menace.

HAHAHAH so true

On downloads.com... Limewire's only 67% recommended with people reporting bugs and crashes and such. Not really something i'd want to download atm

If you had it in your computer you still have the spyware in there. It's separate from the kazaa.exe file.
I use kazaa but mostly for older songs. Most new cds that come out have copy protection so people cant rip them from cd to mp3 format. A lot of the stuff on lives best of should be on there but you'll need to search for specific songs. Entering in the word "live" will bring up thousands of bands with live recordings from concerts etc.

Shareaza isn't too bad for file sharing.

Yeah me and a mate been using it, not too shabby at all. The only beef I got with it is that the searches take so damn long!
And Kazaa SUX!!!
We picked up about 4 trojans and a worm.
One of the trojans reset my home page to a porn site, my young fulla went to have a look at one of the kids sites and when the home page loaded all he saw was 8 inches in some slappers mouth, F#*K'N KAZAA!!!

The searches only take so long because of the large network it covers. Larger network=more chance of finding what you're looking for.

While I mostly download video files, I find Emule is quite good to download music files as well.
More reliable sources.
