Hello all, i'm new to linux and new to ubuntu 8.04 and was wondering if there was a file sharing program for music such as mp3 rocket. Rocket was a pretty good deal, about 30 clams and you could download all the music you wanted to. Unfortunately it only works with windows, is there a similar program for ubuntu and if so where to get it?

Do you mean a P2P sharing program? theres limewire.. frostwire, and gtk-gnutella.

You pay for a filesharing client?!
What the hell.

I use FrostWire, it's very good.

Why would you think that other networks don't have that amount?
I personally don't use P2P, I just download it straight from servers found using Skreemr (http://skreemr.com)


On a side note, why don't you try running it in WINE?

You pay for an illegal p2p service?

The gnutella network has hundreds of millions of songs (frostwire).

But if you need another network (soulseek)(for more rare music), click here (http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/nicotine/).

first make sure you installed java (in synaptic search for "sun" and install the sun-java6 packages).

Then go to frostwire.com and download the file.

Double click it and the rest you'll figure out by yourself.

You can download a deb directly from the FrostWire website (http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads).

thanks, i guess i just didn't know any better. the way i had it figured was it beat 99 cents per song to download.

I had a look at the Windows program mp3 rocket once. It's similar to both Frostwire and Limewire, both of which come in Linux flavours.

Thread closed, as this entire discussion sort of goes against the rules here.
