Napster for the Mac For months Mac users have been on the sidelines of this digital music revolution. No more! Napster for the Mac is here. Search, download, share and chat, all in a Mac interface. And, you can keep your existing Macster user name and password. Welcome to Napster, the future of music. Napster claims to be the best search engine available, and the best way for users to find and download MP3s. By creating a virtual community, Napster ensures a vast collection of MP3s for download. Napster also eliminates the problems of conventional FTP transferring by using cutting-edge technology to ensure the completion of each MP3 transfer. Napster features include:
- Advanced Search System: Search every library online for songs - you can specify the minimum ping times, bitrates and frequency. All results are pinged to allow you to find the fastest site. The search is realtime, so the list of available songs you receive is reliable every time. Never again deal with tied up sites. If you cannot access the song, it simply does not show up in the results.
- Automatic Hash Resuming: Songs are identified by a 'hash' of their contents. If a remote computer disconnects while you are accessing a song, the client uses the hash resume to find the next fastest site with this same song to automatically complete the download, meaning that users never have to worry about a library going offline.
- Chat System: The easy-to-use napster interface allows users to chat with each other in a number of different forums based on music genre.
