Best place to DL music? Best way to play music from my MP3 Player in car?

DougLikesBMW · 07-23-2008, 11:45 PM

Hey folks - I bought a Creative Labs Zen 8gb for about $120 http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/...-32589081.html

I was wondering what is the best and cheapest way for me to be able to play my music from my MP3 player through my car's stereo?

Also, I used to use Limewire a lot to download music, but it only became worse and worse for me, songs would be "fakes," or not many searches would come up, or they just wouldn't download. So my question to you lot is what would be the best way to download individual songs without using torrents, or should I just give Limewire another shot?

Thank you in advance.

I'd avoid iTunes since you don't have an iPod. I can't vouch if their AAC or M4A files will play on your MP3 player. Maybe the Zune marketplace? That is if you're a paying customer. If not, Demonoid is fantastic, but beware that your ISP can track these sorts of things!

As for hooking your MP3 player to your BMW, I don't know which year your's is, so I don't know if yours comes equipped with an auxilary input jack. If so, just go to your Best Buy or Radio Shack and purchase an audio cable (male to male). That's about it! There's a forum in here explaining how to connect an iPod (at least the one I read referred to the E90), but that should apply to your situation if you do have the aux input jack. Good luck.

Wow - my mistake - I did not make a few things clear that are probably important.

The car I need to hook it up to will be an '08 Jetta and yes I want to download free music, lol (that's why I mentioned Limewire).

I was just talking to my buddy - he connects a cassette tape to his MP3 player and plays through that - is that the cheapest way?

one fast way.. find a forum that targets your music of interest, but i'd still recommend torrents.

UltimateBMW · 07-24-2008, 01:36 AM

Torrents will be your best bet since more companies cracking down are only going after the big distribution websites. They don't care too much about individual leechers.

Well, except for HBO. They'll come after you and the guy next door to you.

Use torrents. Ares is like asking to get caught, plus it's shit quality and selection compared to torrents.

e92phreak · 07-24-2008, 04:13 AM

If you don't mind paying a subscription... download from Napster and use FairUse4WM and remove the DRM.

DougLikesBMW · 07-24-2008, 12:25 PM

Damn, okay thanks for your help folks. I guess I will have to resort to using torrents

***Does anyone have any tips on playing the music thru my car ('08 Jetta)?

I like to call it "downloading stolen music". Free just doesn't sound right anymore. Or, I refer to dl'ing a torrent as "getting some music from an internet friend." Semantics.

Hey call it what you want, as long as I don't have to pay for it.
