HELP! I need to download music videos?

Question

Anyone here can tell me what good and better programs or web-sites where i can download music videos. I've tried using LimeWire which works too slow and not enough sources all the time and Bitlord(T-spy and T-box) is hardly to find music videos...

Answer 1

For any kind of Videos there's YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/

To download videos from YouTube and any other site :

Get Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

And then install the Download Helper extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3006/ or this one Video Downloader https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390

It works great for me.



Since the videos are in the .flv format you need to get a flv player. You can get a very good one (and completely free ) here http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-2139_4-10505954.html?tag=tab_pub



If you want to convert them into another format ( mobile phone, iPods,psp, mp4...and anything else) use this awesome free program called Super http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html



Also you can use this site http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php and copy/paste the url's from the page with the video there but personally I'd recommend using Firefox



Firefox is the best !!!



And for movies and anything else use http://www.torrentportal.com/ and http://www.bittorrent.com/ and http://www.torrentspy.com/

To download from this site you need a torrent program like these :

BitComet http://www.bitcomet.com/ or

Azureus http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

There are quiet a few ways to get music off the Internet. I won't go into the legalities of all of them. Obviously, if you are getting someones copyrighted material without paying, then that's probably not legal.



There are services that you can use to get music that WILL pay the artists who created the songs. The most popular are probably...



Apple iTunes -> http://www.itunes.com

Napster -> http://www.napster.com

and even WalMart -> http://www.walmart.com/swap/SwapEntry.do?dslURL=/swap/LoadMain.do%3FmainCategoryId%3D2500



All of these services will sell you songs between .85 and $1.00 per song or so.



There are quite a few services advertised on Clickbank that make the promise that for a one time membership fee, you can download an unlimited number of songs. Here are those services. I cannot attest to how well they work, so research them by visiting them...



Unlimited Download Center -> http://watersaffl.udc01.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS

Movie Downloads.com -> http://watersaffl.movies01.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS

Unlimited MP3 Music -> http://watersaffl.gamecity.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS

Hot MP3 Downloads -> http://watersaffl.mp3hot.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS



I have had good luck finding music on BitTorrent sites. BitTorrent is an Internet protocol for moving very large files. It's not the same as P2P (limewire and such), but it relies on other users in the BitTorrent community leaving their music files available. I have often been frustrated by downloading a song or album only to find that after it downloads 95%, it stops because not enough BitTorrent seeders have kept the files available. The upside to BitTorrents are that they download extremely fast!



You'll need a BitTorrent client to download torrents. I use Azureus. It's a free and very nice client application that you can get here...

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/





You'll also need a few BitTorrent tracker sites. Here are a few to get you started...

TorrentSpy -> http://www.torrentspy.com/

The Pirates Bay -> http://thepiratebay.org/

ISO Hunt -> http://isohunt.com/

MiniNova -> http://www.mininova.org



Finally, I have had great luck finding unknown artists by using an NNTP News Server. NNTP is an old Bulletin Board type of protocol. NNTP means Network News Transport Protocol. But the NNTP community has evolved into about 50,000 different 'channels' that cover every imaginable subject and there is a way to 'encode' binary files to place them on these NNTP groups. For music, music is grouped into different 'genres'. For example, I download Jazz and Reggae from two different channels. It is not easy to find any particular song or artist, so I just download everything in a group and often find songs and artists that I've never heard of before.



To download music from NNTP groups, you'll need a News Reader. There are some free ones out there. I use this one...

Well, that ought to keep you busy for a while! Good luck!
