Author Topic: A question for lovers of MP3 Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 08-27-2001 06:38 AM                     For all you guys and gals who regurarly download mp3 files. What search engine/program do you use? I tend to use Napster and Audiogalaxy. I thought I would ask since the two of those dont seen to want to work for me at the moment.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-27-2001 12:04 PM                     Generally, I use something called "SneakerNet" to share songs and files. It may be old and archaic but it's virtually foolproof.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

Belch Film Handler Posts: 24 From: Canton, Michigan, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-01-2001 12:05 PM                        I use Kazaa, which is somewhat similar to napster, and very easy to use. It also has a better search engine, faster download times, and resumable downloads if you get disconnected. www.kazaa.com  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 09-02-2001 12:02 AM                     Morpheus will actually "nap" the music city, Kazaa, and a few other servers, all with huge numbers of files on them (I've never been on a server with less than 300k gigs of content, I'm not sure if that's the real count but I find everything I'm looking for!) click here  |  IP: Logged Kelsey Black Film Handler Posts: 58 From: Pima, Arizona, USA Registered: Aug 1999 posted 09-04-2001 09:34 AM                     Over the Labor Day weekend I had time to try out Morpheus for a few minutes. I DL/d it, installed it, etc., and was running it side by side for a test to see which was better, Morpheus, or what I had up to that point been using primarily, MyNapster. so, I sent out a few random searches for songs that I already have, just to see what each one turns up. I was suprised to see how FEW morpheus returned. I got on an average of 8-15 good returns with morpheus, while with MyNapster I would get 3-5 times that much. Granted this wasn't a stringent scientific test, but I thought it would be worthy of sharing. Kelsey @ GTS  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day! Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-04-2001 04:52 PM                     I also tried Morpheus afterbeing told about how great it was. Well I couldnt figure out why it only allwed me to share only 112 files, plus the interface seemed a bit too 'webby' for my tastes. I prefer the very Napster-like look and feel of WinMX. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Rachel Carter Expert Film Handler Posts: 248 From: Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 09-04-2001 11:25 PM                     Right now I use Aimster, it works pretty good and is easy to use. I was told to also try MyNapster.  |  IP: Logged
