For the longest time I was trying to remember what the name of this site I wanted to tell you about geekgirl. SPAMThanks for reminding me teacher447! Yup, I heard that Music City is pretty good. Although, I haven't tried them myself yet.

I like the news groups but not any thing like Napster at all. You have to hope someone uploads what you want and if your isp is ok maybe you wil have a day or two to get it . :'(

YES. SPAMKazaa, Limewire, and gnotella are all very good alternatives to Napster. SPAMPlus you can also get software and other files besides music.

Has anyone ever tried WinMX.com's (http://www.winmx.com) client program? I heard it's pretty good too.

Morpheus was working great downloading stuff but once you have it running for about a half an hour or so (+/-) it started slowing down my computer, my cursor would move slowly or erratically, so I would shut morpheus down and reload it everything is fine then again the same problems, now I get an error message from morpheus, I said bye bye to morpheus, it no longer resides on my computer but it was sometimes nice to have you around for an alternative but not very stable did get some good stuff from it while it was living. Oh well on to the next napster look alike or better.

Tried Limewire and was to lazy to d/l anything else. SPAMWorks fine for me. SPAMNo if I could just get away from these D*MN Winmodems (oh cable modem how do I want thee). SPAMA device that is practically useless without a specific OS now that is shear genius.

Why don't you just try Aimster? go to www.aimster.com (how convenient!?) It's easy to use and almost same set-up ;D SPAMand it's FREE! w00t

I use gnutella but it is a bit hit and miss. The problem here in the UK was that Napster connected to a local server and mostly searched European users. This meant that most songs that were relevant here appeared at some point. One that I had a hard time tracking down was Stevie Lange's "Remember My Name" from the the Limara ad, although it did appear eventually. At present I am looking for Francis Dunnery's live version of "Hunting THe Whale". I had it but deleted the folder by mistake...DOH!
