I'm going to join the 'in crowd' and start using file sharing programs more often. I'm fed up with living in the dark ages and to be frank, paying for stuff costs money!

I used Limewire Pro on Mac OS X. Have used it for quite some time. I used to use it to download the odd track to see if I liked it (30 second preview on iTunes Music Store sometimes isn't enough) and if I did I'd pop over to iTMS and grab the album. These days I use allofmp3.com for music as it seems they have added full previews of all tracks from an album, as opposed to the 30 second preview they used to have, plus I'm not locked into a regional based account (UK account cannot buy from US store).

Thus my use of limewire has subsided a little, and these days it's normally used to download applications for testing purposes, and I seriously do mean testing purposes. If a client has a problem with some software and you can't get a download from their website and asking for a NFR does not seem to work, well, there aren't many options left.
