Exactly my experience.
DIME was recommended but after starting the registration procedures I saw a lot of extra blocks on the road regarding the wish to download anything when you re a newbie.
I think you can upgrade by paying them and resolve that problem?
Anyway, Guitars101 is my favourite site although I sometimes visit Soundaboard, The Clock Went Backwards
Downloading stuff from YouTube is not the way I think because at best it is in NP 4 format, not FLAC?
