Music Downloads

Can someone provide me some suggestions for music downloading services that work with my TREO 700p. I don't like Napster.

Thanks.

i'm sure if you did a google search you'd find some type of downloading service. *cough*limewire*cough* or did you mean something that works on the treo itself?

We all like free music, but limewire is the way to get your computer infected. Instead I recommend trying out Bit Torrent. The users there are often more savvy and get things up in better formats in higher quality. I useµTorrent to download what ever I'm looking for.

Now if you're looking for something to use on the Treo, that's a little more complicated.

my personal experience with limewire has never produced a virus or any type of malware. of course, i have a firewall, 3 virus scanners and a host of adware killers installed. but i agree, LL, you gotta be careful.

Wow, that's like a belt, suspenders, a bullet proof vest, and a chastity belt of protection. I worry about the multiple anti viruses, because they can system problems if more than one decides to scan at the same time, but if you're not having any trouble...

yep. none are scheduled at the same time and something wonky might get past one, but not the other two. multiple layers of redundancy is the key.

well, limewire works on your pc, then you can copy the mp3s to your treo. i don't know of any downloading software for a treo, though.

The fact of the matter is that if you download or rip your own music in .mp3, .aac, .wma, .ogg or .wav, ptunes will play it on your Treo in Pocket Tunes no matter where it's from, unless it's protected aac or wma.

While Real Player is available and compatible with the Treo, I've never been a fan. On the PC it's all advertising and a proprietary media format this is poor quality.

As far as I know though any other music service like Napster would work if you want to pay.According to the features page for pTunes, Napster, Real Rhapsody, Yahoo! Music Engine are supported.

I know that music downloaded through iTunes would not work.

However, iTunes is soon going to have some music available without its DRM (on EMI), so if you have a media player that supports AAC format you'll be able to play these songs just fine.
