Question Best music sharing program???
Hi, I was wondering what everyone thought to be the best music sharing program. Right now I have Grokster, but I'm having problems with it, so I'd like to change. I've been reading things about Kazaa Lite, but I know that Kazaa and Grokster share the same files and thats one of the probs...I would like more search results with more dependable downloading, also without the spyware and all that junk...please write back with comments.

Thanx!

Megan

Kazaalite is the best in my opinion. The latest version keeps your participation level at a constant 1000 giving you more sources and search results. You really should uninstall Grokster and get Spybot and run it after you uninstall Grokster.

Be sure to use the online feature in Spybot and install all updates before scanning.

Then go here and get Kazaalite. This is a direct DL link so it will begin when you click on the link.

I've tried WinMX as well, but most of the time, with me anyway, doesn't most of the downloads get queued? But I guess it depends on what you're looking for...

Hi tragedy, You'll have a job to find anything better than Kazaalite,Ive tried them all over time and its by far the best in my opinion, Ive even found files 40 and 50 years old in there,and up to date stuff is a doddle .....cant reccomend it highly enough.....try it...

I think WinMx, but that is just me. I have always been able to find what I was looking for, eventually.

I downloaded Kazaa Lite the other day and so far so good. I'm 17 and though I have a job, I don't really have the money to buy all the CDs I want, so I burn alot of them...I've been able to find everything I have looked for, so I think I'll stick with it until something better comes along...if anything does

Thanx Guys,
Megan
