"Whats a decent napster alternative?"

any ideas?

Really can't understand how people have problems with Audio Galaxy - my last 400/500 MP3s have came via them, including maybe about 20 hour plus DJ sets (that's 20 individual set of over an hour, not... you knw what I mean!).

It's totally stable, you can trust it enough to leave it on overnight and you can always get what you want.

It's free + if your getting a pirate, I don't think quality is the main issue, although most of my pirates have either subtitle or a constant fade, but thats VHS, these are digital... can't see why so many people have 300mb+ videos on their hdd though.

I got that when it first came out. But its rubbish quality like they all are, unless they are big DVD rips. But I have Fast And The Furious on DVD now.

I've had a few pieces of software from them, but most of it, surprisingly has missing files.
but it's good, most users have good pings, and they always have the files you want, it's just like Napster but it works and you can download more than music.

never used it to download any films, but my friend got "The Fast and the Furious" the other day to test his DVDR, lucky guy....

Morpheus and Kazaa are the same program. I think if Kazaa does use the spy software then Morpheus would also use the same spy software.

For me I use Kazaa. I have been using it for 8 months now and found it to be good. I dont use it too much for music, but all the tracks I have wanted have been on there. Also you get other files like movies and tv episodes that arent out over here on TV or in the cinema.

Morpheus and Kazaa are the same program, just under a different name, or so I thought, you'd get the same files which ever one you used, it's not just kazaa users that are on kazaa.

Audio Galaxy was terrible, WinMX was OK but had bugs

I currently use Kazaa, it's really good but has spy software on it which they use to see what's on your PC and what you're doing... Great eh? Kazaa users may have noticed a box in the top left of their screen while using Kazaa, that's the software.

I may start to use Morpheus because it doesn't have any of this and is apparantly as good as Kazaa

when one shuts down there is always another to take its place, such as bear share
(but I like audio galaxy the best, can almost always find what you want, and a lot of stuff doesn't take that long to download, just sometimes you don't get the full version of the song you want)

you could just virusscan the files before you try them, takes a few seconds.

I thought AudioGalaxy was shutting down soon though?

Totoro - what do you think? Of course it isn't "legit".

Audio Galaxy is by far the best alternative to Napster, in fact I'd stopped using Napster long before it was shut down as AG is miles better than any of the file swapping tool as it is intelligent and highly automated so downloading your music is dead easy. Also less likely to get virus and torojans that seem associated with Morphius/Kazza etc.
