k, im new to this whole downloading music thing, but we've just got broadband in so im trying to make a cd, ive downloaded a few tracks off winmx, but im just wondering can u only do one at a time or can u download several at a time? and how do you which tracks are better quality. i dont really know much about the program but it seems simple to use so i've just went ahead and started downloading! anyone got any tips?

Look 3 across from the file name of your MP3 and it will say bitrate. The bitrate you select will determine how large the MP3 file is, as well as the level of sound quality the MP3 file will contain.
So say if you choose an MP3 with say a bitrate of 320 that will then mean the sound quality will be a lot better than if you choose an MP3 with a bitrate of say 112. Anything over 128 bitrate will be ok. As you got broadband you might as well choose a file of a highest bitrate.
Hope that helps.
Take a look at this website it's all about WinMX.

WinMX is a load of bollocks use Kazaa Lite www.kazaa-lite.tk or www.k-lite.tk i can't remember which one it is so try both, and you can download as many as you want at the same time. Also when using it, it should show you the bitrate for each song, the higher the bitrate the better the quality of the song. I think a bitrate of 192 is CD quality and don't get any lower then 112
You get more virus' on the network that Kazza uses.
A bitrate of 128 is somewhere between tape and CD quality.
A bitrate of 192 and above is CD.
If downloads are slow, leave the program running overnight and you'll tend to find that they have successfully completed in the morning.
In the speed and status columns, avoid anything that is red if you can. If you have no choice, then click on the red ones and they should be sorted in due time.
Winmx is the nearest alternative to the famous Napster that ruled music downloads 4 years ago. I use Napster/Winmx for downloading mp3s of what I already legally had on tape.
Oh, and a lot of white label too.

I don't know. I'm living in Halls and so accesss the internet via the halls network. Is there a way I can find out what type of firewall they have running?
Kaz, I'm behind a firewall too.
When you run Winmx, make observations on the starting "networks" page where you see that traffic light. Below that light are two radio buttons. One says "primary connection" and the other one says "secondary connection". If you're firewalled, you need to select the secondary one, and then try connecting again. When the traffic light goes from red-yellow then to green, you know that you're connected successfully.
Most people using P2P especially Kazaa are being sued whether they paid for their service or not. Piracy is extremely illegal wether you own a copy of X or not.
I didn't think The Site likes you to promote illegal activites?
I've tried that./..doesn't work.....traffic light never changes from red...Pretty sure it's summat to do with the ports but I don't know enough about networks and the likes to sort it.
