try MusicCity - it's a private network of servers compatible with the napster software. Plus their servers are interlinked, so you see ALL the songs on their network...

Oh yeah, I'm not saying there's not a million other ways to get mp3s, cuz there are.

I was just very concerned about the ruling and the implications it has on the future of similar businesses. I think that it will spawn a wave of rebellion from computer genious mp3 lovers, and we will see a whole new wave of software used for purposes like napster. Heck, we're already seeing them: CuteMX, iMesh, MusicCity, it's never gonna end, I just thought the ruling was interesting because it's the first ruling of its kind. We'll see what happens!!
