Does anyone have a thing to download music?

[StrudelBone]

I used to have Morpheus but then it said my version was too old to connect to the server but I couldnt find the thing to download the new version. Whats another good one to download??

[casey c.]

Kazaa is a good one it's the same as morpheus but it doesn't say it's too old to connect.

Yep. Kazaa is good. That's what I use. Go here to download...

Hey Brandon!!

FYI! I just got this off of Yahoo News.


Computer users trying to log on to the service were greeted with a message telling them to upgrade their software to connect, although no newer version of the software was available. The outage immediately sparked a huge increase in traffic on alternative file-swapping services, such as Gnutella.

In a statement, StreamCast blamed Kazaa, another file-swapping company that had provided the basic software that served as the foundation of the Morpheus program. Kazaa and fellow software licensee Grokster have recently upgraded their software, while StreamCast has not.

"Unfortunately, Kazaa's recent upgrade has made Kazaa's and Grokster's new versions incompatible with Morpheus," the company said in its statement. "As a result, we are accelerating the release of our new Morpheus software and within days expect Morpheus users to enjoy the Morpheus Preview Edition."

That new software, the company said, would operate using an "open protocol" network. That typically means that different software companies can write pieces of software that talk to each other. The network used by Kazaa, Grokster and until now by Morpheus, is a closed protocol network in which each company has to license the software from the owners.

StreamCast has said it would add support for the open-source Gnutella network in future versions of its software. Streamcast executives could not immediately be reached to provide details on the new software.

A Streamcast move entirely to Gnutella or another open protocol network would send a shock wave through the file-swapping community.

Together, Kazaa, Morpheus and Grokster had created a joint network that neared or even exceeded the size of Napster at its peak. Anyone using any of the three programs could search other users' computers.

The Morpheus software appeared to be the most popular of the three, however. According to Download.com, which keeps a count of people downloading the software, Morpheus has been downloaded more than 51 million times.

Kazaa has seen more than 37 million downloads, while Grokster has seen just over 1 million, according to the site. Download.com is a division of CNET Networks, the publisher of News.com.

Moving Morpheus users to a Gnutella-based network could also prove technically difficult. The open-source Gnutella technology has had difficulties with large numbers of visitors in the past and has stumbled when heavy use overloaded the network. Some of those problems have been addressed in more modern versions of Gnutella software.

Gnutella software was one benefit of the Morpheus outage, however. According to statistics kept by Limewire, a distributor of Gnutella software, the number of people using Gnutella at the same time jumped by well over 50 percent, to more than 100,000 people, by the end of the day Tuesday.

StreamCast, along with Kazaa and Grokster, is being sued in Los Angeles federal court by the big record labels and movie studios, which contend that the services are contributing to widespread copyright infringement. The two sides are scheduled to meet in court March 4.

[JoPol_wannabe]

I found out that Kazaa & Morpheus both have spyware and I used to have Kazaa then not to long after I downloaded that I got a virus on my computer and I think my kazaa did that do to the spyware so I got rid of that and now I have WinMX and that works great I have no problems with viruses anymore

[C Doody]

I Have Kazaa, But lately all my files end up saying "Failed". Its done that quite awhile now. I Even deleted it and downloaded it again but it still does it.

[webuster]

I have KAZAA, which I'm used to, but after reading a while about Shareware, I noticed more popups lately, so I went to a site with a list of these programs without Shareware- Now I have Shareaza, It's faster, more songs, rarer material and more variety. It's easy to get used to, soon I think I'll stop using KAZAA completely.

[-*Leah*-]

Yes, I have KaZaA, and I have never had any trouble with it.:D

[~*Hannah_Lee*~]

I have Kazaa, and have never had any problems with it. However, I do have a virus scanner on my computer if that has anything to do with it.

I have this thing on my PC called iMesh where you can download music, videos, images, and all sorts of stuff. Since I also have a Mac, is there any music downloading search tool for Mac OS 9 or OS X?
