So where do these music sites get their music from? - 05-18-2008, 04:56 AM

Been looking for Mudcrutch (a Tom Petty project with his pre-Heartbreakers band) and it's popping up on several of the websites, but at an odd bit rate of 182 on all of them. Kind of odd that no one has it at a higher rate. Do they d/l music off each other and then turn around and resell it to us?

Just curious.

No, they don't. I thought so too once - but then I found out where they all (minus Sparks) get it from...

Something like that, Daz

Maybe when you reach 100 posts and thus become a Senior Member you can drop me a line and I'll reconsider

In addition, changing your hair colour from ginger to peroxide blonde may help

Changing hair color to peroxide blond has never helped anyone! Tried it myself

If I was guessing, and this would be a total guess...I would say they go out and buy the cd's and then upload the tracks. Of course that is pure speculation. If I were doing it, that is what I would do. That way you have the back-up in case all the servers crash or something else happens.

Maybe you should stop writing now, mehrens2112, before someone starts to call you naive

But you're right - that would be the most ideal thing to do (especially for us - the customers)

If you opened a site I would definitely shop there..because you would be
very unique....we only wish that was true...
