Well, Napster is obviously ancient history. I tried Aimster but thought it was too hard to work (couldn't get any songs to come up). Morpheus is "ok", but nine times out of ten, I'd get a bazillion songs come up but all would result in "unable to connect."

What are you guys using now?

I'm using Lime Wire, and I find that it works really well.

Go to www.lavasoft.de and download ad-ware, it'll let you know any spyware you might have installed. It'll also remove it, excellent stuff.

Gnutella is good but can not compete with Napster (when Napster was in its prime).

I'm suffering through the Morpheus preview edition (f'in popups!) hoping that the final version will be good.
