-- napster's filtering

Question

well since napster has started its little thing to stop all of us getting what we want, why don't we all come up with some sort of coding thing for artists........
some stuff people already do just so they don't type as much, for instance paul van dyk = pvd or armin van buuren = avb
pretty soon almost anything that napster knows is copyrighted will be block and we will be shit out of luck
we could like post the artists and what we name our files to on napster so whoever wants to dl a song can search for the "code" name. i know this sounds dumb, but hey, we'll have our music!!

also, what do people think about getting a server like napster for all of us here on TA for programs such as audioGnome and the like?

i was just thinking bout all that and want to hear some opinions.....

cheers

Drunk nah...stuff it...napster is dead :p

yeah, i used to be a napster freak!
prolly spent more hours on napster than playing games hehe! actually, memories of opening napster and finding 6,000-9,000 gigabytes of shared mp3s are all but dead...i'm luck to find 600 gigs nowadays
but...don't despair!!!! d/l audiogalaxy satellite now!!! yeah, i only got it this week...but have been d/l'ing like crazy it's a bit different, maybe not as many tunes as napster in its peak, but you can d/l resume on the current version & it still shows the bps (as compared to gnutella programs, where the host must specify showing time, bps etc.).
it's a bit trickier to use because of the combined program/web interface...you need the program running & can only find songs thru the web site. the main advantage is there's a heap of users on it! and quite a lot of trance music available...i found solar stone - seven cities (katcha mix), which i could never find on napster
well, hope this encourages you...mp3 sharing is not dead!!

p.s. yeah, i know some people on napster are changing filenames to have the first letter last...ie. paul van dyk --> aulp anv ykd...just an example, i don't think pvd is banned on napster

btw...audiogalaxy is at http://www.audiogalaxy.com/
long live trance! long live mp3!!

the name paul is filterd. you can still find stuff by pvd by just typing van dyk in the artist field.

as for napster filtering...there's a thread about this on the forum...search for it.

Um, there are alot of ways to find the tunes u want. I can find just about any song I want still on Napster. Just put in the title of the song or like Lynx said just part of the artists name.


Posted by eggy on May-02-2001 18:31:

i'm not saying i can't find songs or that i'm looking or tips, just suggesting this for everyone in general to do so that anybody (smart enough to think of that or not) can find songs by certains artists whose names have been filtered.......

Yeah....I can't believe this has happened. Our type of music was definitely the last type to block though - a few days ago I could download it all. It sucks big time

You can still get some stuff, but I think most ministry stuff is blocked although I found some the other day but not much.

It sucks man. I hate it.

Kill the RIAA!!

hey eggy...its already been established that napster has fallen...search the forums dood

ps - winmx, in my opinion, is the best file sharing proggy out right now

the final word is : Napster is out and Audiogalaxy sat is in....its a killer...I've been using for 3 months now.I've got all my requests.


Posted by TeKnoHe@d2025 on May-03-2001 15:33:

Best Napster-alternative for broadband users is Audiognome is u ask me (I said broadband because for 56K users Audiogalaxy is better since your transfers can't be canceled).


Posted by esskeh on May-03-2001 15:45:

AudioGalaxy SAT, the speeds on that are so fast its stupid


Posted by TeKnoHe@d2025 on May-03-2001 22:03:

Seems that "U Phonics" has been filtered too...which is wierd considering that they're not all that big.

Yes. Auds Rox. And i like the fact (and im sure u will too) that u can cue up downloads on a remote machine (friend, work etc) and collect them the next time u get on it. Yeh its good stuff.

Exclamation New Napster

I'm sick 'n tired of Napster!!
But now I've found something really great!!
!!KaZaA!!
It looks the same like Napster, the only difference is -> It's better!
You can search for Audio, video, software and documents..and it has no restrictions.
The only bad thing about it is that there aren't many Trance Addicts who use it, therefore you can't find much trance songs (still a lot more than on Napster).
But if every Trance-fan spreads the Word and starts sharing his/her songs, this shouldn't be any problem!!
So everybody download KaZaA and start sharing your trancemusic!
www.kazaa.com
CU there!
Greetz, Flipper!!
