No
shareminer is basically a reformed google

Either they have a play type timer....after a certain amount of plays the track needs to get re-licensed which it does every time you sync with your pc or it has a time set....like after a number of days without syncing the license will need to be renewed

i found this:
mp3tunes.com

It is supposed to lock your music into a file as soon as you download it. That part seems to work fine, but im still trying to figure out how to sync it with an a MP3 player. Im sure there's a way im just too dumb with computers to figure it out.

Is your sole interest only downloading music and not discussing it?

Wait a second. For all of you who are against the downloading of music for free, I would ask you how the heck it is stealing or wrong. If I download albums and then buy merchendise from that band, then they pretty much gain more money then they did if I were to buy one album of theirs. I mean we already of a case of a band, Radiohead, where 1/3 of the people did not pay a thing, yet they made a ton of money off of the album.

BTW: Is anyone else having problems with shareminer besides me?

Musicians make money from gigs, not from CD sales. Only record companies get that while musicians get jipped.

not true...that's only if you are stupid enough to not have publishing rights over your own songs....if you do you'll get residuals for life....that's how one hit wonder bands are living it up off of one song
