I was wondering about the junk rating as well. You mention that something marked as junk is only for your own computer, but I see files marked as junk turn up when I do a search, before I even have a chance to "mark them for my own PC".

The reason I ask is because I have seen this recently when I searched for a well known Dutch artist. Almost half of the files that showed up were marked as junk. However, they seem OK to me : correct titlenames and realistic sizes (e.g an mp3 of 3.4 MB @ 160 Kbps bitrate for a typical song, also found as 2.7 MB @ 128 in the non-junk section). I wondered if these file are really junk, or just marked as such by someone who doesn't speak Ductch and sees some strange words?

I could of course try to find out by downloading them, but I'll only do that if I know that those junk designations do not necessarily mean such a file really is junk
