Bear Share or CDs your own. Best to rip stuff at 192kbps.

Not necessary with AAC. 128Kbps does the job just fine, and I'd assert that
99% of people would never be able to tell the difference.

As for Bearshare, avoid like the plague. It's infested with spyware.

I don't claim to be in that magic 1%, but I rip my CDs at 160kbps
AAC and I find that's a pretty good compromise.

As for the OP, BitTorrent seems to be where it's all at these days.

Cheers, Robert.
