actually, macaddict's april issue (which i promptly received today) has a section on alternatives to napster. here are a few links:

http://www.cxc.com (gnutella network)

http://homepage.mac.com/macgnutella (gnutella network)

http://www.limewire.com (gnutella network)

http://www.macigator.com (open nap servers)

http://www.macnews.com.br/overcaster...s/rapster.html (napster & open nap servers)

http://www.bigredh.com (hotline servers)

i mostly download my music from hotline. i find that you end up with full albums more often than not when you do.

i hope this help you.

Thanks, that helps a lot. I got my Macaddict today, too. sometimes it annoys me when they send the April issue when it's just March 3....

You get annoyed when they send it early! I haven't even gotten my March issue yet!!!

OpenNap servers are the way to go, Music City's napster servers usualy have up to twice as many songs on them as napster's own servers, at any one time

get mp3 rage... it has a client that supports napster, open nap, djnap, etc... aswell as guentella

oh and l008com is totally right about music city's open nap servers... they rule.

Where can I get this mp3 rage??

MP3 Rage try here: www.chaoticsoftware.com

Carracho has some HUGE free MP3 servers. Check it out!

Gnutella is good, too. But not very reliable (at least for me -- very few downloads actually ever get through).

And then of course there's open nap, but you already knew that
