My mates neighbour is wondering if anyone can recommend a easy to use program for his laptop for downloading music... possibly for free. Apparently back in the old days he used to use something called frostwire so something similar would be great. My neighbours mate "Dave" really appreciates any recommendations.

If you give mr.apollo a shout, who took over after staffie's sad demise he may be able to help. He is very busy, so, it could take some time for a reply. If you don't ask, you don't get. Apologies Mr A couldn't think of a better person to ask.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Apparently hardly anyone downloads music any more. It's all streaming these days. I personally haven't downloaded anything for a good 5 years or more. Aware that the iPod stopped being produced long ago, I just asked one of my daughters whether an Mp3 or Mp4 player could still be bought, and she basically laughed at me and called me "grandad". (In fact they CAN still be bought but they are few and far between).

He refuses to pay Amazon Music or Spotifys crazy subscription costs..

only problem with streaming is you can save a favourite track, certain version etc & a few months later its been withdrawn / no longer available etc.

You can use your itunes as an mp3 player if you subscribe to itunes match (~£30 per annum), you just add your mp3's to your itunes library and then they are available on all devices. Or you can do the same with Plex, the inconvenience there is to access your tunes anywhere you need to have a server or NAS to have them available all the time. You can also stick them all on Googledrive/idrive/onedrive to have them available everywhere all the time. Edited by mr. apollo (08 Aug 2023 8.43am) Attachment: 100770147_1_92.jpg (147.64Kb)

He has multi options and no they are not free it's a risk downloaded for free. Pay for a sub from one of the legit providers (can be very expensive) The same as above but you can either do it in cheaper other country or join someones family account making the price close to only £30 per year. The next option is VPN and he can download torrents etc.
