I believe there's a little tag within an mp3 saying whether or not it is 'copyrighted'. So perhaps there's some info embedded in the coding. I really don't know for sure though. If by chance all Napster is doing is reading the comment field, you could find a batch tag editor and remedy that pretty fast. Seems way too easy though, so I'm sure Napster is using a different method. Any ideas? I suppose if you're really set on sharing the files, you could convert to wave and back to mp3. No idea what effect this would have on quality, but I'd think that'd get rid of any embedded info. I'm sure we'll get some comments from those more versed in this than I. -Nathan
