-- Welcome back Napster!

Yeah the old AG as it was back in the day has never known a match since or even one remotely close. Even the hub cannot stand up to how AG was back in the day. The hub is amazing don't get me wrong, but I love psy and goa and there was almost never a song I could not find on AG. I remember I could take just about any live set and go straight from top to bottom and find every track and on AG. Those were the days...

Napster was the first but the newer ones definitely have beaten it, especially Audiogalaxy.

Btw, what exactly is a hub? And can I normally connect to it with a 56k modem?

Bleh. The old AG was way better. I just searched for "ferry", no results. I tried "corsten", no results. I tried "system f", finds some fucking System Of A Down

AG satellite was awesome.. I was the first site (AFAIK) to set up a button that would queue that file on your satellite assuming you were still logged into AG/had the cookie on your machine. That saved me over 300 gigs a week in bandwidth use, and it was great for the people on slow connections since they could always resume if they got caught off..

awww.. memories

ya, i remember when you introduced that swamps...it was still before my time on the forums. It was an amazing feature, too bad you can't do it with any of the other programs around now.

Napster will always hold a special place in my heart, because it started it all. AG obviously kicked much ass and will be greatly missed.

I read that article. Funny thing is Roxio buys Napster and gets rid of p2p file sharing...hmmm what is left? Just the name of course and their subscriber base. Since the record industry has granted them rights to distribute music online, I wouldn�t be surprised that they own most of Roxio stock and are using it as a front. I'm sure they'd also like to put their finger on CD burning software, which is gateway to copy music to non-computer devices.

AudioGalaxy was my favorite out of all those things because 1) it had a very small program itself, 2) web-based, so I can queue files from my friend's house so it'll download at my computer, 3) you can queue files even if the person is not online.

i dont think anythign will ever been audiogalaxy

why cant someone make a clone of ag??? just like kazaa is a sort of clone of morpheus.

There was a clone of AG not long ago, by clone I mean:

1. Similar web-based interface with offline queueing
2. Small client, just like AG

http://mediaseek.pl/mediaseek/

Its down for a long time (a month), though

first thing to pop up in my head when i saw the title of this thread. damn right.

it was so easy. just type in the artist name, queue up the first 20 tunes, and that's all the work i had to do. AG was the BEST p2p program out there... so simple... even on 56k. the hub is just too cumbersome for me to use with all the slots stuff & bad resume...


and i've never been able to get mediaseek to download anything; besides, it has been down for such a long time, just like bilange said.

THE HUB IS BULLSHIT I TRIED TO SIGN UP NUMEROUS TIMES AND NEVER GOT ANY RESPONSE

Download the program Ad-Aware, You can grab it off download.com its free and works good! Well, No matter hwat you use to download with you will always get cutoff's, But Napster had alot like WinMX does now. WinMX is the Napster of the current time. Audio Galaxy is nice, Mediaseek is also nice, But needs way more members like AG. Kazaa and Morpheus are the same thing, Youll find the same files on both. They share the same servers, I dont see why their isnt jkust a kazaa or morpheus. I just dont know what to think, I think that if Napster does come back, Their will most likley be a service charge.. Which is lame!

damn right! life sucks now that audiogalaxy is no more!

Yep , I remember driving around the town and suburbs for two weeks with a list of ten songs - I found 2/10 . Then some day a friend told me about Audio Galaxy & I got all of them in one night . AG satellite was awesome , I was able to find everything and share what I found with other DJ's that had a hard time finding what they needed . It was the best site ! One of the things that was really great about it was that everybody could always resume if they got disconnected or their connection timed out . I snapped when they killed it ...

I'll join the masses:

AG pisses on all other file sharing programs that exist or have existed in the past.You just couldn't beat their supreme selection of hard to get tracks and the ace queing system.Only downside must be that the web based search got slow at times when the server got hammered. I have broadened my taste in music considerably thanks to AG.

I miss it already.

yep ag rocked!

hehe good ole napster
