Vocal removal method:
This is possible only for certain stereo tracks. When the vocals are exactly the same on both stereo channels, you can remove them by “subtracting” one channel from the other. This works for many studio recordings, where the vocal track is mixed exactly in the center. Be aware that bass and drums are usually panned to the center and can be removed or reduced also. Depending on how the track was mixed the vocal may only be reduced, not fully removed.
To do this in Audacity 1.2:
1. Import your stereo file into Audacity.
2. Open the track menu (click the arrow next to the track title), and choose “Split Stereo Track.”
3. Select the lower track (the right channel) by clicking it in the area around the mute/solo buttons.
4. Choose “Invert” from the Effects menu.
5. Using the track menus, change each track to “Mono.”
Press the Play button to hear the results. If you are lucky, the voice will be gone but most of the other instruments will be unaffected, just like a karaoke track. You can use the Export commands in the File menu to save the results.
Audacity 1.3.12:
Has a vocal remover built in. Just select the whole track then vocal remover from the effect menu.

Well, you can download limewire or other peer to peer sharing apps. And accept the potential of downloading viruses and getting the feds on your tail. Beleive it or not, everything downloaded is then shared to others without your consent as long as u have an internet connection. This is all with everyone able to see what you are sharing and your ip, which can be traced. What i do, and definitly the safer option, is use torrents. They take little bits of information from many other computers and put them together to make the song or other download. You have to download utorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/download.php) and then go to torrent reactor (http://www.torrentreactor.net/) and search for the artist. The other option, which you have to jump through more hoops to use, is to use rapidshare. Go to google and search the song title and “http://rapidshare”. This will most likely give u a website with a link to the download. Unlike torrents, you have to wait for your downloads. This is just to make you angry enough to pay for an account to get the download faster. Well, now that i wasted enough of your time talking about nothing, i should get back to my work and you should get to downloading.
