Hear, hear. I've already found people I've either not heard of or didn't
hear enough of to check out. Now I got the chance and solely because of
what I've heard on Napster I've bought Ani Difranco, Patty Larkin, Leo
Kottke (from my home state! woooohooo!), . . . even *new* no less! I
used
to buy used cds predominately.
This is an email from a friend of mine to whom I sent some Ani mp3's to:
DUDE!!!!!!!!!
I NEED TO BUY ANI RIGHT NOW.
which album should i start with ?!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I'll do that. *implementing 'New Folder' feature*
Actually, I usually found new stuff by searching for stuff I know, and
then
checking out what people who have this stuff also have. Anybody with
'Zappa' in their libraries has got to be worth a look. I've been pretty
successful, but the vast, vast majority of songs are by "well-known"
artists
*sigh*
