I've got shareaza, which i use to download music but it's pretty useless so...i wanna know what the best and safest programme to use to download music, amv etc but is also good quality...
Apple
iTunes is what I use... nice, legal, and Apple's library is one of the largest and most comprehensive on the internet. I can download from their audio and video library and currently Apple has a fairly decent collection of television shows... price is pretty cheap for most of the content. I would envision that with faster connection lines, the time will not be too far away when full-size current release movies will be available from
iTunes for rent or purchase via download; thus dealing a death-sentence to
Blockbuster and other movie rental outlets.
I know that there are myriad bit torrent software programs that scour the internet for audio and video files for free downloading, but there is some inherent danger in so doing, as both audio and video files (.mp3 and .mpeg along with other types) can be coded with all sorts of data strings in addition to the audio and video content... these data files can actually be harmful to your computer and may interfere with computers or audio/video files.
The Wall Street Journal had an article on the types of dangers in free downloading, besides the rather obvious legal issue.
