but even if they shut it down, i will be left with an incredible music collection full of everything i ever wanted. you see, i got what i wanted already, so its ok if they shut it down. if i tried to get every song i wanted from limewire, it would literally take a lifetime. vtol, think of a song or a band that you haven't heard in years...maybe you loaned it out and never got it back, maybe you lost the cd at some point. or maybe it is so old, it was before cds were invented. whatever the case, you'll have a hard time finding it, especially if it is rare. but not with audiogalaxy. it will be there for you.they have it all and more. i understand your loyalty to gnutella and the reasons behind it, but aren't you even curious as to what you may find? i only post this because i am a believer in getting what i want, as others are, too. we all want a permanent p2p program safe from sht-down, but we also are doing this for a reason: to acquire mp3s and such. i wouldn't lie when i say you can find it all at audiogalaxy. it is a tiny D/L and will run in the background of just about anything. i will continue to support gnutella because i believe in it. i still use limewire, but not for mp3s. i strongly suggest you try audiogalaxy. you will not be disappointed!
