Napster is a search engine that allows you to find and download MP3 audio files. While logged onto Napster's server, you're essentially sharing your MP3 library with other users. When hundreds of users are connected, you'll be able to access the MP3 files in their libraries
The program comes with a basic Mp3 player. It's not fancy but you can easily play files and maintain playlists. It supports standard playlist formats such as M3U and PLS. There's also a chat client for you to communicate with Napster users that are on-line.Napster includes built-in instant messaging and Web browsing features
Newer features included the addition of an Exclude feature to searches, allowing users to search more accurately, as well as a Rename function to let you change the names of your files within the program.
The only disadvantage of using napster is the transfer error
If you get disconented or the user from whom you are downloading the mp3 gets diisconnected, you get this transfer error. This is very irritating and you cant even resume the incomplete download
On the whole napster is really cool since you can find and download almost any songs. This program has definitely got what no other MP3 program has. Above-all, it's got it's unique style that no-one could beat.
