I saw the link to download SongSpy and I downloaded it to give it a try. I still havent found anything that can compete with Napster when it was in its prime....

Anyway the next day I noticed msbb.exe in my taskmanager and I knew it was something fishy. Sure enough Ad-aware said it was bad :mad:!

Warning! EZULA module loaded: msbb.exe (C:WINDOWSmsbb.exe)

I am not 100% sure that SongSpy is at fault here but it seems likely because its the only thing I have installed recently. If there is one thing that drives me bonkers its spyware!!! At least things like BearShare give you some sort of warning and a chance to optout. Couldnt find a thing about this on songspy's site at all.

Just a little warning for the rest of you if you tried Songspy. It actually worked quite well for me but it still doesnt have the masses of users or servers to handle them like Napster did....oh well.

ps. if anyone finds that songspy doesnt include this spyware please let me know so I can try to hunt down the ****** app that installed this, dont want to be spreading false acusations.

I use KaZaa. Its like a music community. Weird thing is its just like filenavigator. ie. A few companies use the same software just with slightly different configs and the software title.

Anyways KaZaa seems to do the job for me. And the reason I use it is cos it looked the best graphically :)

www.kazaa.com

the other company is MusicCity.com who have Morpheus

[edit]

Just found out fastTrack make the software

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article?
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
