Where do you get your music

[Schaza]

...music business will finally be democratized.

Hope so!

I almost never buy nor download music.... We have a great radiostation n Belgium (Studio Brussel), that plays the right music the whole day, so there`s no point in buying the music . Every now and than, I tune in to some Internet-radiostation, but than I try out the most exotic ones I can find (so often I end up with radio Curacao or so )

There are unfortunately no more good radio channels in Finland.
There used to be Radio Mafia, which was owned by the state.
But then many commercial channels designed for 12-year-olds came to the markets and got more listeners than Radio Mafia did. So, they changed Radio Mafia into that stupid "let's play only Bacstreet Boys" style. Apparently they hadn't understood why there are such things as state owned radio channels..
Well.. There was also Radio City somewhere in the 1990s. But they've turned theirselves into crap, too.

So, nowadays I don't listen to radio anymore :(

I'd love to have something like iTunes here in Finland. Nowadays there really aren't any full albums I want to buy, so I'd rather just get the one good song from it via P2P.

Dakkus: I thought YleX was somewhat related to Radio Mafia. At least it doesn't constantly play the latest teeny-pop hits. They talk alot though.

In that case - and if you can oufcourse - try : Studio Brussel on the Internet if you like good rockmusic - usually without too much talk... To listen : click in the middle of the top on "LuisterLive" (or listen life0=) and you`re off...

Yup. YleX is the teenified version of Mafia. Plays on the same wavelength and by the same owners, but only plays ~two songs all around the year.
The point in Mafia was that it was more like a TV-channel. They had completely distinct programs which lasted for a few hours. If I remember right, it was friday 21:00 to 24:00 when you could hear metal in the channel. Then they changed to house which they then played until some 04:00.
All programs were made by distinct people and they weren't really organized from any upper level.
Radio Mafia kind of used to give time for individual channel-like things from their frequency. Nowadays YleX has many programs, but they all sound exactly the same, because they've under the same exact brand.
The same has happened with City. They've branded the channel into a sports-channel! Think about it. The very same station that used to broadcast from the legendary Lepakko! Right now Radio Helsinki seems to do quite good music every now and then, though. It might become my saviour some day :)
And well.. For pervertics like me there's of course Radio Sputnik. A Russian-speaking channel broadcasted from East Center in Helsinki. They've got genuine Russian pop there :D

And BTW, I don't have a sound card, so I can't listen to an internet radio. If you feel like sending me a sound card via mail, ask for my address ;)

[!Pretfles!]

Has anybody ever heard of Bittorent, seems to be a lot quicker then other p2p clients.
Does anybody have any experience with it?

[DrGreenTom]

Almost every Belgian rockband has lost it's record-deal, even when their latest album went "gold".
Thank you Kazaa ...
