Download free music?

There's an advert here at Mudcat for downloading free music. iMesh. Is it cool? (Is it okay technically? Is it safe? Do the musicians get paid? Whatever other thoughts or advice do you have to impart to me and others?)

Hmmm. According to the Wikipedia article, it seems like iMesh is legit. Can't say I'm ready to trust it, though.

I searched the net on "imesh reviews" and saw nearly nothing positive, but many warnings and complaints of f-ed up computers, impossible to uninstall, etc... Downloader beware, I guess. But if you are interested, why not do that same search and dig into the reviews yourself, see what you think. I have a zero threshold for computer risk, and naturally that colours how I read the reviews.

Well... why would I do that is it is advertised here? I just wondered if, since it is advertised here, it MIGHT be cool and thought someone MIGHT have the answer. Having said that, I harken back to the age old saying, "If it's too good to be true, yer gonna get screwed."

Bog standard bit torrent downloading, just like kickass.
