Advantages: Ease of searching, Ability to download other things than music, Amount of files stored

Disadvantages: Can be slow

I, like many people, was a Napster member beofre thier demise - you know, the one where you had a guess an alternatve spelling for an artist to get their songs.

KaZaA is different. The downside is there is a small fee, but it is negligible and you can download as many things as you like for that fee. The upside is that you can type in the exact word you want - no symbols replacing letters or bizarre spellings, and even the most obscure and old artists and songs are on there.

The downloading can sometimes get interrupted, as you are downloading from somebody elses computer - if they sign off, you lose the connection, but it has happened quite rarely to me.

Thanks to KaZaA, i haven't had to buy a CD for almost a year - songs which haven't made the charts or have only been released on album are on there. I have also downloaded 2 games which a haven't been able to find in shops (they are quite old), and although you need a lot of time to download something that big, KaZaA lets you do it in stages - you don't have to download an itam all at once.

You can download more than one file at once, although this does slow things down somewhat. when you have downloaded a file, KaZaA then gives the ability to search by that artist, their album title, their music type - all of this is documented for you so all you have to do is select some boxes.

Other download options are games, images, documents and other software.

The small fee is worth a look and you can cancel at any time - something i won't be doing for a while.

I'm not aware of any fee.

I've never known this to have a fee associated with it? If this is true then I think it's pretty bad if truth be told.

I don't mind services such as this, but they lend themselves well to piracy as you have demonstrated in this opinion.

I've been using audiogalaxy which I think is brilliant.
