How to get music for free from PP without any special programs besides windows media 9 maybe 10

This instructable will teach you how to get music for free from the free playlist provider, Project Playlist.
(My first Instructable ftw!)
The things you will need:
1. A computer (duh)
2. Internet access (another duh cause your reading this)
3. A Project playlist account. (this is free, you also need to have an email account to get one. i dont think ive ever received a message from them via email, so i wouldnt worry about it. they're legit)
4. WIndows media 9 (you need 9 [10 might work] because it has the option to save media this is the thing i couldn't find on WMP 11 we will be using this option a lot.)
Thats it!
NOTE:
~I WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANYTHING!
~THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!

kk, now that the legal stuff is taken care of, lets move on.

Step 1 Getting WMP 9 (if you have 11, if ya dont, skip this step)

If you have WMP (Windows media player for all of you people who haven't figured it out yet) 11 (or 10 if it does not have the save media option) you will need 9 (or 10 if it has the option) you can download it for free from many places, just Google it. but when you try to install it, it will probably say something to the effect of, "You have a better version of this program" or something to that effect. You will need to delete your windows media player (if this somehow screws you over, im not respondsible in any way.
When i updated my WMP 9 i was expecting to get 10 (stupid me, i shoulda known the computer was smarter than me.) so when i got 11, i had to get rid of it. I downloaded 9 from something on google but when i tried to install it i got that messege about a better program, so i want to Add/Remove Programs and deleted it. once it was deleted i got the messege "a previous version of this program was on you computer, do you want it?" i clicked accept and i had my old baby back. so for all of you people who updated from 9 to 11 (or 10 to 11 maybe) you have a chance without downloading it, if i were you tho, id download it just to be safe.

This is kind of lame no offense. Bit torrents, are better. I just saw a video about a program called songbird and it is really cool.

[Loveofchaos]

whats "bit torrents"?

[TheMadScientist]

if your gonna get into torrenting, go with azureus... anything else was either looks like it was made in visual basic or otherwise. really, I went through about 7 other torrenting programs before I found azureus, and it rocks.

[baneat]

Har har if you're going to get into torrenting _don't.

i have a torrenting app on my ipod touch, jailbroken. it's pretty bomb diggity.

[Loveofchaos]

oh well, this works just fine for right now, i can always ask a buddy with limewire if i want a song i cant find lol

[joejoerowley]

Simply "They're the shit"
Here is a great How to on how to use bittorrents.
They are really cool. But if dont want to download any software you can use a internet based downloader like bitlet

[Loveofchaos]

i just like this because its fast (downloads usually only take about 2-3 secs) but i guess that varies on your interent speed. besides, what i cant get from pp i can get from my friend with limewire (i know, lime's not that good) and then get it transferred to me.) plus i didnt have to download anything (besides the music, which has NO spyware or adware or anythign like that)

[Shadowfury]

You can also use WMP 11. Just press Alt, then go to File, then Save Now Playing List As.

[TheMadScientist]

uhh, when searching for music, you could just click the link to view location of music file, then copy the file location it gives you, put that in your browser, and wala, you're downloading the mp3 file

[RISKYWRECKARDS]

DO YOU THINK IT WOULD WORK SORT LIKE SAME VARIBLES BUT I WANNA SEE VIDEOS DO MUSIC AND SAVE IT TO MEDIA PLAYER FROM DIZZLER OR YOU TUBE HIT ME BACK @ RISKYWRECKARDS@GMAIL

[!Andrew_Modder!]

or, or! theres bearshare, limewire, morpheus, kazza, torrents, etc!? i prefur Limewire Pro (im a registered paying user :-D )

[Loveofchaos]

true, but this doesnt require the downloading of programs. also, is this illegal? im not sure if it is.

[!Andrew_Modder!]

EVERY way of downloading music is illegal except if you buy it ( even your way id 100% illegal)

[webkid]

not true. here in austria for example, downloading is perfectly legal, sharing is not. many countries have similar laws. plus there is such a thing as fair use...

[Loveofchaos]

but, can they only get you in trouble if they catch you? or what?

[!Andrew_Modder!]

ya, but low chance of doing so use peerguardian every time you download so you dont get caught ( it blocks millions and billions of gov. riaa, spyware, etc)

[Loveofchaos]

peer guardian? is that like a browser that keeps you "clandestine" so to speak?

[!Andrew_Modder!]

[mdmoose29]

not true... its only illegal to download copyrighted music. theres plenty of music out there thats not copyrighted..

[scotferg]

You don't even need to stream the music with wmp. When you search for music on PP it lists the URL. Simply cut and paste the link. If your browser starts an embedded player (i.e quicktime) just do a File - save page as and save the file. Or, like many have suggested use limewire, morpheus, kazaa, bearshare, bittorrent, dc plus, etc.. etc..

[joe57005]

this brings back good memories of when i was thirteen, using wmp7 on my old computer. but i used ie to download, i only used wmp's search to find music and get the urls. i hate windows media player, and microsoft, for that matter
