AS IF IM GOING TO DO THAT!!!
Well i suppose all good things must come to an end although napster was great for sussing out new tunes by looking into other peoples libraries with trance, I found soo much stuff i would have no other way of finding, so i guess i will start sifting around this forum, i have already got some really good links and tunes from here.
Also from looking at whats been hapening with those of you who still use napster, doesnt look to flash anyway, with all the restrictions being imposed.
PS. i never typed in an artists name in napster just a few key words in the title like tiesto paradise humate) and that worked fine.

So beware this could happen to anybody. i deleted the program and edited my registry. re-loaded Napv9 under a new email and username but i was instantly arssed..... might have to re formatt my computer and try again......
is it worth it????????

So happy Napstering and i guess the moral of the story is don't share youre files. (guess that defeats the whole purpose of napster though)

Will be moving onto better things, cant wait to try those new progies, just using Gnotella at the mo

SE YA..... Peace

has this happened to anyone else???? if so, how did you get Napster back online again?
