Was using Soul Seek, but it's been acting up too much on my computer. Tried Ares, but couldn't find much. Any better choices?

there's limewire, but the riaa monitors that one, so make sure you're not sharing much. you can also get a lot of what you need through our own little obner darknet, codename "colinswood."

sorry, i thought i had said "much of what you need." ordinarily the RIAA will go after people with "thousands" of songs shared, but I'm not sure what the practical threshold is.

they will sue you, seeking millions in statutory damages, and have a trained negotiator (i.e. not even an attorney) call you and quote you a settlement figure of about $4000. you will take it, because it's cheaper than hiring a lawyer and winning.

It's very well documented. You can read about it in detail here if you want.
