[juice]

hi , i am lookin to listen to some songs from 'queens of the stone age'
someone recommended them and i have no idea what they are like and it is annoying me.
so i was hoping to listen to a song of theirs online , but cant aseem to find any sites
please help

you can listen to little extracts from most music shops. www.cduniverse.com seems to have a big selection of short extracts from the albums.

I use www.limewire.com You can down load pretty much anything off it. It's called peer sharing, im not really surely what it is but I havent had any problems.

just click the little music note depending on what player you have (probably windows media player) and you'll get a 30-45 second extract from it... queens of the stoneage

Whatever you do DO NOT file share. Make sure whatever programme you are using does not allow this or instal uploading software on your computer. People have been sued by the BPI for uploading.

lucy5- it is illegal though so i wouldn't mention it online

Isn't limewire one of the sites being specifically targetted wrt cracking down on file sharing.More so than some of the other sites i mean? Think i read it somewhere...

Would be very sus of any site letting you download for free.

close your curtains and lock your doors lucy5. if someone comes to your door, don't answer it.

Limewire may be free but beware, big time. I know of someone who received a writ asking for thousands, they didn't realise they had been doing anything wrong.

scary isn't it. unless you're really up on these things, how are you to know!

OMG, I had no idea!

do you think I should have my post deleted or am I overreacting?

you don't need to have it deleted - just don't use it! You can listen to radio stations on the net - just google the station name.

I have managed to do something in Norton that has stopped my husband using Limewire (much to my delight!)

yeah, internet radio is great. i listen to my hometown radio station right here in the UK and it's kind of weird and nostalgic.
