torrents are the best source.

You could go along the lines with quick downloads like Limewire, Bearshare ... but I don't like spyware.

+1 on torrents. You could probably find invites to STMusic or Libble on some public forums and then work your way up to the better ones over time.
Personally I find the quality crappy on a lot of public torrent sites, but there is some decent stuff in there too. And if you don't care about stuff like bitrate then it probably won't matter anyway.

Except then you get 128kbps transcoded MP3's as a result.
What.CD is probably the best all purpose music tracker that you could realistically get into at the moment... Waffles as a close second. Look around some public sites like the aforementioned FST. Just state your case eloquently and don't beg, and you'll get your foot in the door. Then just make power user on a torrent site and they generally have invite forums where you can start moving up to better trackers. That's how I got onto the 10 or so trackers I'm a member of now

And have Kaspersky Internet Security.
no, just common sense.
i could never find what i was looking for when i got on what.cd and i hear waffles aint much different, if not the same thing. i found some of the best private trackers are the ones that get like a single small mention somewhere, then noone ever talks about them again, if youre patient and look hard enough.
i got on leechers lair last time i was on my computer. i searched through their entire index and couldnt find a single thing i wanted.

What specifically were you looking for/are you still a member? Because What has expanded a ton in the last few months, whereas Waffles has kinda stagnated. If you're looking for a specific genre of music there are always more specific trackers that are better, but I find What a great place to start looking in most cases. Indietorrents has some nice stuff as well if that's what you're into, and Pedros has a ton of the classics (lossless only though).
The trackers you only hear of occasionally tend to put more emphasis on security which leads to fewer members, and generally a poorer selection. (Though I'm on a general/scene tracker with no ratio and some of the best pretimes I've seen, despite only a few thousand members). The quality/community is often better though. What has the advantage of over 50000 members and actually has a staff that listens to the community and constantly adds features to improve the site, so I like it

Depends on what you want. If you're going for full albums or full discography's, then you can pretty much just put "torrent" at the end of a google search and more often then not the first few are good condition working torrents from trusted sites. If you're looking for single songs, then playlist.com is pretty much your best bet, just find an addon/program that lets you rip from there, most of the time you can get decent quality from it.
