Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default New and could use Help

Hey There,
I am new here and totally new to file sharing and internet music etc.... I bought the program from www.mymusicinc.com. Hope that was a wise choice? I paid $34, and not sure if I even have the PRO service, which sounds nice? Any clues how to find out?

What I really want to do is burn cds so I can get some bass going on (not happening on my little speakers).

When I signed up they talked about free cd burning software ect.. I have never burned a cd in my life. I know I have at least a cd player on my computer. Do I need anything else?! If so what? If not what next please!?

Also not sure what the difference with the songs labeled mp3 are? Will I be able to burn those to a cd too? I am using windows media player.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

ok - first of all you got ripped BIG TIME . if you payed 34$ for file sharing software that claims to be "100% free and legal unlimated music and movies " you should cancel the payment on ur card because the site that sold it to you sold you a crock of shi*. limewire is the best filesharing program iv ever used and its 100% free ,and the pro vershon is onley 20$ . there are lots of sites trying to scam people into buying software that is free ,and you fell for it. dont feel bad tho it happens to alot of people ,i got tricked into buying a load of crap back in the days of kazaa when i was a novince myself .just cancel the payment if u can . i looked at the link you put in and its definantley a scam .beware of internet scams ,there EVERYWHERE! . also downloading music and movies is ilegal ...about as ilegal as jaywalking or littering but still ilegal . so the site that sold you that crap is making a false claim by saying "free unlimated music and movies" . but so many people do it that verry few get cought . but still its at ur own risk. so just get limewire and use it . ok now ,CD burning: if you have windows media player you can burn cds if u got windows xp ,if you bought your pc in the last 3 years you moast likley have windows xp and a cd burner . i use media player 10 wich you can use to burn cds -not shur about other vershions. u can get windows media player10 from microsoft.com for free. yes you can burn mp3s to a cd , but mp3 is a lossy sound format , what that means is that mp3s are compressed to get the file size so small and thus mp3s dont sound as good as the origanal cd ...but its close. if you want TRUE cd quality go for .WAV , .flac or .aiff music files. but wav and flac ect will take longer to download ( this wont be a problem for you if you have cable or dsl) mp3s are ok as long as the bitrate is at least 192 kbps (if i cant find a .wav vershon of the song i want i try to get an mp3 that has a bitrate of 256 or 320 kbps) tell me more about your computer and i can help more , tell me the stuff like what operating system and what kind of internet conection you have ect.

Default Thanks

Ok you guys totally ROCK.

That is great to know about the burning, I was thinking I had to go get a cd burner installed. I do have a cd player and I got the puter less then a year ago ~ so that means I probable have a burner there too? This computer was custom built ~ simply, so I hope they added that too. I currently have windows media player, real player v10, and quick time. I use a cable connection, and run windows xp.
Gosh THANKS!!!

BTW what is the pro cd all about?
And any advice about downloading movies? My husband tried with Oceans Twelve, and after some weird stuff we got one going on that had a really bad picture ~ I don't know the details of what he did though.


Yeah before I got your replies I realized I had been totally taken (again..I am really dumb by the way...so I went and cancelled my check card for the like what..the 3rd or 4th time...ok ok no more using the debit card on the internet~got to get the cc in order! And I will dispute the charge tomorrow!). The website I used says they have a 30 day money back garuntee so I will dispute ASAP, and demand my money back too if needed (bank cards aren't always as easy to dispute as credit cards are).

Just did a forum search and saw that link to that thread about this same situation, but thanks anyway Fabion. Got suspiscious when I saw the $18 thing on the official site.

OOOOH gosh I really got to get my head strait. I've already lost BIG TIME online (I tell ya $34 is nothing at this point...I am really admiting my stupidity now!) so these little things now I am learning about. I did take many days to sign up and did tons of searches and all I found were these scam sites (not knowing at the time)!!!!!! What the hell is up with that?!! There must be tons of people here who came through that way, or what?

I did about every key word search I could think of to try to verify this, except for the words "file sharing". I more or less had no idea that file sharing existed. Once I searched those words (after coming here), I found ya easy!!!! Otherwise there are just lots of scams that bring a person here overpaid, everywhere. The scam websites I checked out have the same feel to them too. Same scammer?

I did just do the free trial of rhapsody.com were after the trial you pay $10 a month, plus 79 cents each song burned, so this seemed like a deal! Arghhh. Is Rhapsody a scam too? As I have tons of friends on a yahoo group using it and passing the word? We all sew all the time and need MUSIC.

Anyway I am now in love with lime wire so there is no going back, just correcting the mistake, if I can.

Thanks Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talking

i would say windows media player is the best ... just be carful when installing it tho cuz ...once agen microsoft tries to get you to join a pay music sevice and tries to basecley spy on you and your listening habbits . just un-select the boxes for that stuff and click "no thanks" or whatever els it throws at you during the install . and after the install and those initil settings it wont give you any more troble . and cuz you have cable i defanantley go for the .WAV music files and avoid mp3s as much as possibul. (to serch for WAV songs just type ".wav" after the keyword . and beware of converted wavs too cus some ppl are stupid and convert mp3s to wav files wich dont sound any better than mp3s. to see if you have a cd buner it should say on the front of the pc itself on or near the door where you put the cd in. then from there its just drag and drop and a few mouse clicks in media player and presto -a homade cd. also as far as i know the onley legitamet no bullshit file sharing clients are limewire,ares and emule. morphious and kazaa and bearshear are all crap. alsow you can get limewire pro for free too just serch for and d/l it in the limewire your using now (you didint here it from me ) just be shur u scan any software or zip files u d/l with a good antivirus scanner befor opening it cuz thers lots of viruses that are labeled to trick you into downloading them. yeah id say that rapsody thing is crap too. welcome too the world of bootleg music!!...and basecley everything els too.

Oh, Thanks for the welcome etc..!

Ok, so I do have norton antivirus, I think it just runs in the backround. I guess I better learn to use it too!?

And what does it mean when I get the box that something is corrupted?

the corupted message meant that the file in question is broken or fake and should be canceled . if ur d/ling software it could be a virus or it just wont work when its compleat . if its a video it moast likeley will just be some static or interferance in the movie for a second or 2 . if its a song its probobley a fake or it has some bad distortion that will show up as a loud blip or pop noise in the song. yea norton is good and if a virus gets in it should catch it and delete it without you having to do anything . but to be safe scan any software or zip or rar files you download . just right click the file you want to scan and the menu that shows up should have a "scan with norton antivirus " option or simaler. im going to bed now so dont expect any more replies for 18 hours or so ....its 3:00am here...
