TekWiz Newsgroups are awesome sources for music. I have used them ever since a friend showed me how. That may be why they are not so well known. Anyone can fire up P2P. Newsgroups were harder to use I think for a newbie. I never will forget the MadHatter versions of Agent and IM ing with friends on ICQ at the same time. Lol

Mike, I don't fool with the groups that much anymore for binaries and when I do I am looking for something very rare or out of print. Just upgraded to a new system and don't even have Agent installed yet. But I am going to tomorrow as I wonder if there aren't some legit groups out there.

Having said that, did you know you can download free music from Winamp that has a free license that runs for 30 or 60 days? It is not a lot to dl yet, but it is a hell of a good idea. 96 kbps WMA. They also have video and streaming that aint to shabby. I just found it yesterday or today when I dl'd Winamp 5.02

Maybe enough publicity and it will pick up steam. Temporary free license I like that idea, it is something that indies could use to get their works out there.
