Want some music?

By the time I got a computer and the bandwidth to handle it, Napster was dead. My son mentioned this and so did Doc Searls.

LimeWire

LimeWire is a software package which enables individuals to search for and share computer files with anyone on the internet. A product of Lime Wire, LLC, LimeWire is compatible with the Gnutella file-sharing protocol and can connect with anyone else running Gnutella-compatible software. The LimeWire program will connect at startup, via the internet, to the LimeWire Gateway, a specialized intelligent Gnutella router, to maximize the user's viewable network space. Limewire is written in Java, and will run on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Sun, and other computing platforms.

Doc thinks it's better than Napster. Load it, open it and search. Found some music I had wanted for a long long time. Oh Well, Part 1 & 2 by Fleetwood Mac before they became that pop thing with that Nicks person. There was another piece that I have wanted but I had forgotten the artist. A search on Boogie Woogie turned up Long John Baldry and Don't try to lay no Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll. Procul Harum's Whiter Shade of Pale and Louis Armstrong's West End Blues. Now for some Booji Wooji music!
