For any of you music buffs who aren't familiar with [url]http://www.audiogalaxy.com/index.php?[/url], it is the real deal. None of that FTP crap, either. I've downloaded over 800 songs through Napster over the past few months, but it was NEVER this functional. I picked up 123 songs while watching Crocodile Dundee II with the little lady this evening. Just cue up a couple hundred songs, and go to bed. Wake up in the morning with fresh tunes. If you will take a couple of hours to familiarize yourself with all the great options available with this program, I promise you will never use Napster again. There is a small file to download in order to be able to swap music, but it is less than a meg. HINT: If you will create a new/empty folder on your hard drive somewhere to download the new songs to, others won't be able to leech off of you while you are downloading. After you download a nice chunk of songs, move them into your original music folders and start filling the empty folder again. From what I understand, the only files that people can upload from you are the ones that you install in the new folder you created. For example: If you have 1000 songs already in the folder that you are downloading new songs to, chances are much greater that you will be uploading nearly as many as you are downloading at any given time. Unless, of course, your taste in music totally sucks. Enjoy.

Good post cope, Ironically just when I clicked on this... I finished my download to the new version. I have been using this for the last year and a half. All I have to say is "Napster shnapster" I give this software the rating of one full mag. (as opposed to 3/4, 1/2, and Oh shit I surrender)

thanks, I'll give it a try.

PF, That 20 gig slave drive that has been idling along in my sytem doing virtually nothing lately should get a nice workout with this recent discovery. Why didn't you tell me about this 6 months ago?

Cope, Bro... If it's idle... hehehe send it to me... Time for pop to move to the terrabyte SCSI array My 20 has 1 GB left... Should last me a couple days. heheh. Let's see, what do I want to listen to tonite? (Yes it is that easy!) - not napster - resumes aborted downloads - easy to navigate - suggests artists you may like - Life is good... Troy, Bear is sweet too... But, I use it mostly for movies. Before they hit the Big Screen... (Let's see... taking up HD space is Saving ryan, gone in 60 secs., Gladiator, Pearl Harbor, Enemy @ the gates; Mummy returns... damn I need to clean house.) Just do a search for *.asf you will find plenty'o flicks for the askin. Make sure your'e runnin at 512k or better. 700 meg dl's take a long fricken time ;P [edited because i can be an idiot]

[url]www.bearshare.com[/url] for movies, eh? Cool. I guess you guys have known about this for over a year as well? Man, I gotta start getting out and about more. While I haven't seen 512k lately, I can usually run at about 350k if the other end is tuned up. Being a NC hillbilly, I have took a liking to this band. [url]http://www.scots.com/[/url] No, it's not bluegrass. However, I happen to be a big fan of bluegrass when the mood strikes. Ever heard of Telluride? Anyway, [b]Southern Culture on the Skids[/b] dishes out some grooves unlike any other. Unfortunately, their site hasn't been updated since February, but there is a pile of interesting reading on it. They just so happen to be doing a festival nearby this Saturday night. Gonna be a busy day. The Garand Clinic Saturday, and SCOTS that night. Gonna be a goodern'. Do yourself a favor, and do a search for "Southern Culture on the Skids". As a short list, start out with a few of these.
