I need a good site to download music.  WINMX, takes too long and is always busy.  I dont mind a pay site.

On another note, I downloaded some CDs to my computer but they will not download to my iPod.  Says wrong file type.  I converted from WMA to MP3 but now jukebox wont recognize the songs.  Any ideas?  

Thanks in advance.

Winmx is the best one out there IF you have it configured right.

Your files are probably not being recognized due to accepted bitrate values.

iTunes is awesome, if you have access to a Mac or can wait a few months for the Windows version.

I personally hate Kazzaa and WinMX. My fav is Imesh. Go to imesh.com and download the client. I have always found everything ive wanted. Its free too....

I hate Kazaa too.  I figured out why they call it Kazaa: It always Kazaa my computer to crash.  Plus, I can never find more obscure songs and it requires you to install spyware.  I miss Napster so much.  I'll try www.imesh.com

Bearshare is COOL! Just search for it on Google,download the software and install. It is used by itself without your browser, and works very well!

Search for different file sharring programs, and you'll find some of the ones mentioned here, and you can read user feedback on them too (if I remember correctly).

I use Bear Share, and have had great success.  Many of those use the same info, but are just different programs.
