Napster problems.....

[dmbsuperfan]

Ok, searched for a thread, but the last one was almost a week ago, so I decided to start a new one. Over the last 2 days, I haven't been able to download many songs from Napster. I've tried to do a couple songs that work, but other, popular songs won't download. Actually, it's not that I can't download them, it's that the Napster database can't find any songs. Is it my computer or Napster? Thanks in advance....

you haven't heard of the napster ban have you....

Napster is using filtering software that does exactly what you described. Specific songs that have been added to the filtering list will not show up in a search.

There are ways to get around it though. Try common mispellings of artist names/song titles.

Napster ain't working for me either. Kinda bad for all us guys with 50 dollar RIo500's. Could sold em for 160 or more.

Napster still works, just gotta be a little tricky. They started filtering all the songs out, but they're still there. Just trying searching only my the artists name, or if the song has multiple words, only use one to search. People on Napster are changing the song titles by 1 letter or whatever to get around the filters. YOu just have to figure out how to find the altered songs.

People will do many things to get their music and share it.

You'll find it, just think smartly.

I fear soon though, napster will be dead.

Sh*t, just use opennap servers...no filtering software on those.

napigator sucks too, the popular musiccity servers are always full.

But what OpenNap server(s) do you use? I used to connect to MusicCity but since everybody has started figuring out about Napigator I can almost *never* connect, always too many people already logged on.

I can never connect to Music City servers either anymore. They use to give me better download speeds than napster too, 250 kb(Music City), 75 kb(Napster). I use Bearshare for downloading music now.

download limewire, it's the best userfriendly peer to peer file sharing program I have found yet. If you used Scour exchange it's allot like that... I think it's a little bit better acctually. Try it out and let me know what you think of it.
