Alright dan, love MMW btw.

get hold of uTorrent. google it. you open it with that program and it will do its own thing. the program's all pretty self explanatory if you've used any sort of P2P before. Mininova and Pirate Bay are the best two sources for finding the actual torrent files (think of them as a map for the PC to look for the files online), and then uTorrent is the program that gets em.

Hope this helps mate.

That worked perfectly. Much appreciated, Nevaeh!

Sorry I'm late to the party, haven't stopped in for a while. Bonus tracks are exciting, can't wait to finally hear them (mininova WAV torrent is slow as hell, will be looking elsewhere for a lossless copy when I have a minute).

FLAC is lossless. That's what the "L" stands for. There is no "downgrade," the sound is identical. Aside from the fact that it takes a fraction of the hard drive space that a WAV file occupies, FLAC is also preferable for the fact that it allows for ID3 tagging, just like an MP3.

(im aware of vlc and how it plays pretty much everything, its just that i use itunes cos im so damn used to it and all my tuff is there)

One of several reasons I don't use iTunes.

FLAC = ALAC in terms of quality though, what with them both being lossless. ;)

The only bigger downside with FLAC is that not many mp3 players support it.

Yet.



It's becoming more and more popular so there's more and more pressure on MP3 player manufacturers to support it. Especially with storage space being cheap as shit these days, it's very plausible to store FLAC on a portable MP3 player.

Heck I remember my first MP3 player... It wouldn't have been able to store a single FLAC file with it's 64MB memory :P

Yes it would have! According to my quick calculations, maybe about 10 minutes of music in FLAC. :D
