Subject: Kazaagold: is it worth $10?
I finally broke down and bought a CD burner for my computer. And it only took me 3 days to get it working. (It would have been shorter if I'd remembered to plug it back in after re-installing the driver.) After a bit of snooping around the 'Cat and Google, it seems that kazaa (now known as kazaagold) is a popular choice for finding music to download. (And before we start in the old debate about downloading music, I do buy CD's, mostly from independent artists and labels, and I expect to continue to do so--no doubt including those by artists whom I will discover by finding their music online.) But as I was saying, does anyone have experience with this site? Is it worth paying them money to "join"? My tastes tend toward the not-all-that-popular: folk and folk-like, "world", jazz and popular standards from long ago, and even the dreaded s****r-s********r. Are there better alternatives? (Just buy the friggin' CD's, dude...) OK, wise guy, I heard you.
