RE: Napster Fiend

I'm an addict too.  Search for "discography" on the Web; check out Rolling
Stone, or any other music magazine-- they all have databases for lots of
artists.  As far as MP3 quality, look for higher sampling rates and
estimates of song times.  There are lots of sudden cut-offs.  I've even
gotten some MP3s that have been altered in pitch, and sound very bad, even
though their sampling rate is high.  Not all 128-Kbps MP3s are good.
Usually the 160s are good.  192s are very good.
        As far as music you've never heard, you gotta give it a try.  
Check out
also music reviews at www.deja.com and www.amazon.com .  Let me know how it
pans out.
        A mate in Napsterism,
Javier

  | I got Napster (actually Macster) one week ago and I am already

  | since you can only search by artist or song name.  I've taken to going
  | to record stores with a notebook and writing down names to find online.
  |
  | Anybody know if there is someplace to go where you can search a 
database
  | of what's "out there" via genre?  and also somehow separate the wheat
  | from the chaff - maybe with reviews or discriptive blurbs?
  |
  | That would make it all SO much easier...
