What are music downloads? • Music is defined as: The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. • Downloading is defined as: To transfer (data or programs) from a server or host computer to one's own computer or device.
Napster • Napster is a protocol for sharing files between users. With Napster, the files stay on the client machine, never passing through the server. The server provides the ability to search for particular files and initiate a direct transfer between the clients.
iMesh • iMesh is a search tool that lets you locate and download audio, images, documents, and video files from a growing community of 7 million people. The files themselves are located on the computers of other iMesh users who have agreed to share their files and can be transferred from one desktop to another without a server in between. Downloads are very fast and can be resumed later if a file's owner disconnects from iMesh. The patent-pending iMesh technology allows you to download files from up to seven users at the same time.
LimeWire • LimeWire is a file sharing application on the Gnutella Network. It is open to standard software running on an open protocol, free for the public to use. At LimeWire, we are working on developing the future of open peer networks and the digital commons.
WinMX • WimMx is a free file-sharing program like no other. It allows you to connect, download, and share files with millions of other users through the decentralized WinMX Peer Network. Once WinMX is installed, you’ll have access to one of the largest and most diverse networks of shared media files in the world.
Rhapsody • Rhapsody is the celestial jukebox that gives you unlimited access to thousands of albums right from your PC. Only Rhapsody brings together the largest legal collection of digital music in the world, the Internet’s best radio, flexible CD burning, and detailed music information – all in one easy-to-use service.
KaZaa Lite • Kazaa Lite is a Peer-to-Peer File Sharing application that does not contain any 'Spyware'. Kazaa Lite provides sharing of all kinds of media and software. It is a 'FastTrack' Client, which means it connects to the FastTrack P2P network system, just like some other popular file sharing programs like Kazaa, Grokster and iMesh. Kazaa Lite can download single files from multiple users to ensure you get the most efficient use of your bandwidth. (The amount of data that can be passed along a communications channel in a given period of time.) They also resumes broken downloads or downloads that were in progress when you shut down your computer last. All-in-all, FastTrack is a very good, very powerful P2P system.
