I've always and will always use mirc for all my mp3's....and other stuff as well of course.

Its called user friendliness.... the average home user have no idea what IRC is and even if they did i doubt they'd be able to figure out how to use it.

Hmm...true...but I taught my little sister how to use it and she seems ok with it.

She uses mirc for full cd's but I can see your point because she does use napster more often for a single song.

mIRC's alright, but I hate waiting in queues...

You have to wait in queues ? I go to places like cablemp3, never have to wait and fast downloads.

maybe its different for mp3's. All I have every downloaded from IRC is music videos and stuff like that.

I use mIRC for communicating with my fellow clan members for TFC. That is all I've every used it for. I had no idea you could download MP3's. I've been using AudioGnome instead of Napster.

Sorry for my ignorance, but will someone please explain how to download MP3's from mIRC?

I use irc for videos. Since scour went down, there hasn't been another good source for videos.

Executioner: You go into a chatroom that has people fileserving MP3's. They usually have triggers like "!Kewlmp3" or "!kickass" or "!music". Just type one of those commands and they will send you a DCC chat session. From there its kind of like a dos prompt, just copy the files you want.
