mac and music: downloads

[edna]

I have a mac and I can´t download music from the web. My friends do it for me with their PCs. Is it true than it´s difficult to do this with mac? (mine is 9.2)? I¨ve been told that you can´t download music with a mac, but some people tell me they do. I know it´s rather a technichal than music question, but I thought that maybe some of you have or had the same problem. Maybe it´s just that I didn´t try hard enough...

Try CNET's Audio / Video section. They should have something that can help you out, remember to indicate MAC in the scroll bar for OS.

Hey another mac person! I have an iMac with 9.2. I have the answer. Download Limewire. It works great - not difficult at all. The songs go into a Shared folder inside the Preferences folder inside the System folder.You probably already have iTunes, if not download that too. Now you're ready download songs and burn CDs.

Hi, if you have a mac, you might refer to 4ways on how to rip audio from websites, instead of downloading music straightly.

After ripping music, you could burn it onto CD or transfer it to your iPods.

Hi, Calvert... Thank you for the advice... That post was from 2004. Since then I've had three more Macs and three PCs...
