But here's an open question: what music program do all y'all use?
I don't use a download program now - just a combination of iTunes and mp3 blog sites and aggregators. Mostly because I don't want a lot of spyware to worry about. But I want to be able to find my random-ass requests and that doesn't always get it done. Like, for instance, this week I went looking for:
- the aforementioned Dusty Springfield, "Son of a Preacher Man" (bought it)
- Feddy Le Grande, "Put Your Hands Up for Detroit" (couldn't find it)
- Nas, "Hip Hop Is Dead" (got it)
- the abovementioned Puretone, "Totally Addicted to Bass" (couldn't find it)
- Beyonce, "Irreplaceable" (ended up buying the whole album, it sounds like it should be good)
- Robbie Williams, "Lovelight" (didn't find the original, but did get a Soulwax dub that's fantastically growly, although overlong)
- My Chemical Romance, "Welcome to the Black Parade" (got it)
- Cascada, "Every Time We Touch" (got it, although I suspect I already have it someplace)
- Kanye West feat. Lupe Fiasco, "Touch the Sky" (ditto)
- Panic! At the Disco, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" (couldn't find it)
Help!
Update: This is so much more complicated than I thought.

I don't suppose paying for music would be considered an option? :)
Hello, iTunes? I'm fine with paying if they'd have everything I want. But they don't. See above. Hence and therefore and harumph to you, Anonymous.
And Tommy - scrapetorrent, utorrent or Kazaa Lite - utorrent best?
you could always just ask me - I think I have all the tracks you're looking for. Just like anyone else that ever needs a song.
I use soulseek - which tends to get me what I need
I know - but I do sort of want to be able to download music myself. I feel it's an important new-millennium skill to acquire. Like the ability to predictive-text without looking at the keys, or write a snappy MySpace comment. Plus, it eliminates the embarrassment of admitting I want, you know, Girls Aloud "Something Kinda Oooh". Or something. Not that I do of course.
I'm a LimeWire girl. Most times I find what I want. Like the other day, I found a song by Jon Coulton called "Re Your Brains". Never heard of it before and I would bet it's pretty obscure :)
I was going to then mock your musical taste, but I suppose I'm in no position.
