Napster

Pros: Free and amazing.

On Napster's web site, they feature pro-Napster quotes from various recording artists. Here is one from Thom Yorke, of Radiohead:

"The cool thing about Napster is that it...encourages enthusiasm for music in a way that the music industry has...

Napster is the new mp3 distributor that is incredibly popular with many college students everywhere and its free. It basically just gives you the capability to listen to any song you've ever wanted too. It provides being able to listen to a song...

Pros: FREE FREE FREE, wide selection
Cons: technical difficulties, endangered

Normally I don't write reviews for anything that already has more than say, 20 reviews - and I think Napster has about 600 reviews already. But considering Napster is the most frequently run program on my hard drive (more than Internet Explorer or...

Pros: Freedom, exposure, good program too
Cons: Not a one.

Ok, bias aside, this is a really well developed program. It never crashes, the connection speed is always pretty good, the results are reliable and it is free. I've used other peer to peer programs, Scour Exchange, Gnutella, and they just aren't half...

Pros: Extremely easy to use, easy MP3 access, fast service, tons of MP3
Cons: Not going to be around much longer :(

Who doesn't know what Napster is? In case you don't know, it is the best, in fact, dare I say the *only* way to get tons of MP3 music files on the Internet. Don't even know what MP3 is? MP3 is simply a form of music on the Internet. So when...

Pros: fast downloads easy to use I hope this stays around a long time
Cons: none

This is the best, fastest and easiest way to get your MP3's. That is..if it continues to be around much longer. Banning of this program borders the ridiculous. It just goes to show you that politicians and musicians know little, if anything, about the...

Pros: Excellent to get songs and make your own CDs
Cons: Not being able to get songs copywrited out

The mass appeal of Napster has changed the music industry forever. When I first heard of it, I was over peoples’ houses that had it downloaded on their systems. I had a bunch of songs in mind. I eventually got it for myself over jealousy of everyone else...

Pros: Free downloads (for now), ease of use.
Cons: Too mainstream, will be limited soon.

This is an opinion on the copyright-issue when using Napster. It handles the new pay-for-music principle Napster wants to incorporate. Is it fair, or should music be free to all? I know it is more of an essay, but I'm not quite sure where I should issue...

Pros: Endless choices to download
Cons: Often slow, lost connections

Napster is one the best applications available on the web, and frankly, will change the way that users communicate data and share information with one another. Although the process itself of downloading audio files is at times slow, the concept of using...

Pros: Get back music that you have already payed for.
Cons: There is not a way to resume transfers it interupted. (imesh.com)

There are several different reasons to download MP3's , all of these are legal! We bought the music. Whether it was stolen, lost, broken or not compatible, the music is ours. Give the artists there due but also give the consumer there due. Music...

Pros: REALLY easy to use! And it's FREE
Cons: nothing that I can see

I'm not going to go into the whole controversy of Napster vs RIAA... that's another review, that I may or may not write. But it doesn't belong here. What I will tell you is what Napster IS.. since not everyone seems to know what it is and what it...

Pros: Free program to share MP3s with millions of users
Cons: Used for illegal copyright infringement

Warning: Napster is currently embroiled in a number of lawsuits concerning the illegal distribution of copyrighted music. Users of Napster who download or share copyrighted materials illegally may be prosecuted and subject to fines and imprisonment if...

1) There are many...

Pros: it's free, dependable, and convenient
Cons: nothing entirely major

Napster is a free MP3 service and nothing short of a great deal! Running to the computer to see if your songs are downloaded yet is much more convenient than running to the nearest music store and paying almost $20 for the same songs. Also, instead of...

Pros: Large user base makes it easier to find less common MP3s. Easy-to-use interface makes downloading a breeze.
Cons: Potential legal issues with copyrighted music, no support for resumption of downloads, nags you about sharing files, no local Help system

For those of you who...
