Hey I was just wondering what programs you guys use for downloading music. I used Soulseek on my Pc, but I haven't found anything for macs that compares to that :/. So I would appreciate advice on what to use!

I googled it no problem....
Waffle: a batter cake with a pattern of deep indentations on each side formed by the gridlike design on each of the two hinged parts of the metal appliance.

Easy enough but I don't understand how waffles will let me download music legally....

I don't want to pay for it though!;D

Well, in that case... If you're willing to break the law publicly and the rules of the forum, I suggest you do this....

Buy it from iTunes. :)

Maybe they wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt before closing the thread.
I know we're not allowed to discuss illegal activities here but we've sort of avoided helping him.

Have pretty much switched to Amazon myself.
Albums are typically from $1-$3 cheaper, higher bit rate, and DRM free.
Plus it automagically puts em into iTunes.
