Newsgroup Search Tools
Newsgroups were around long before MP3s became as wildly popular as they are today. Although somewhat rudimentary, they continue to provide great communities where people can chat and trade files, including MP3s. Joining newsgroups and exchanging files is fine, but if all you're after is the MP3s themselves, skip the small talk and cut to the chase by using one of these newsgroup search tools. |
