Dear Sherry many thanks for your comments and whilst I appreciate your position in not being a subscription site Notician Musician members may be interested to learn that most free download sites come at a price.
As an example I downloaded a programme published by Ilivid and it virtually took over my web browser by directing me to sites it chose and that is how they can afford to offer free downloads. Unfortunately the sites they choose for you are not necessarily checked for safety and that is a risk I'm not prepared to be exposed to. When wishing to uninstall Ilivid the problems started and it took virtually a week to complete. IMesh and Bearshare have the same characteristics to a greater or lesser degree and I recommend that members check the reviews for these sites and learn first hand what others have experienced. It would be so easy to assume that the various websites conjured up are safe just because they were introduced via a link with Notation Musician? So I guess it's a case of customer beware!
