This is why you should use Hotline. It's thriving these days. Better than
Napster and been around for longer. The only down side is you have to weed

P.S. I have a Hotline server. You can't get buttloads of MP3s though. It's
dedicated to computer music composition/programming/performance. It's in the
early stages, so contributions to the collection would be appriciated.
