a 'little' off topic, but hey, it's about music . . .

What's your current FAVORITE internet "peer to peer" MP3 music search/file swapping software?

* Kazaa http://www.kazaa.com/en/index.php

* Morpheus http://www.morpheus-os.com/

* Bearshare http://www.bearshare.com/

* WinMX http://www.winmx.com/

* (other?)

I realize that some programs contain built in ads & spyware (yuck), but others also include a special version, for a nominal fee, with ads & spyware modules removed. Curious to hear which "peer to peer" MP3 music search/file sharing program (including version) is YOUR current favorite, ever since Napster went down in flames.

I gave up on Morpheus. I use WinMX now. No popups, no spyware, and it's very simple to use.

Hi Scott & Don,
I use kazaa lite....all spyware removed. It is excellent. Like Don I used Morpheus until it went all ropey.

Thanks Don & Tony for your helpful input.

In addition to 'no ads or spyware' how much traffic (file sharing song availability) is there on WinMX vs Kazaa lite (free version?) etc? Does one program attract more of a 'specific type' of music lover than the other: ei: jazz, Country, rock, or oldies? Are up/download times faster using any particular program? Thanks again. - Scott
