Well i did I mean i got almost every rumoured Prince bootleg, it was very expansive. I miss it those bureaucrats knew it was gettin big. But what made me angry, is dat napster was 4 the music community, and it was the only way 2 get songs, u would never otherwise have the chance 2 listen 2. So in a way it was promotin the artists.

It was interestin, dat this goung guy in college set it up and it became the biggest music exchange on the internet. I heard he could have made millions, but he didn't get a dime

I was able to get around 100 rare songs that I never heard before. I'm pissed that my napster file for "People Without" got deleated by accident Peace!

go to kazaa.com

I used to let my 56k SLOWLY download Prince unreleased
songs all night while I slept! I got LOTS of stuff I had never heard. All free. I MISS NAPSTER.

i got quite a bit. there was one song i only managed to get the first verse before napster got shut down. it was called "sticky hot and wet' deeep hard funk!!! anyone else heard of this or know where i can get it?

I EMAILED NPG ABOUT IT AND THIS WAS THEIR RESPONSE.


"high,

we have no knowledge of that."


really helpfull.

Didn't BMG or some record company pay about $8 million for Napster's site and system after Napster filed for bankruptcy? That couldn't hurt the wallet.

Yeah! I got tons of stuff off Napster when it was working. It's a shame that it's not around anymore, but you should try Kazza.com for your stuff now.

Didn't make a dime? Shawn Fanning is doing VERY well.

I had over 6 gigs of prince music (mostly boots) from Napster before its demise...then my PC crashed and I lost about 90% of it...it was a Sad and Dark day for me ...and it seemed to last for a month...my counselor says I'm making great progress...they'll let me outta here in another 6 months or so.











Peace&Love

Hehe i guessed u knew i had no idear bout, the guy who set up napster, so did he get any or most of the money from the sell-out?

Also, guys try Morpeus, good 4 music, videos, and band disgustin porn, i never touch dat stuff. Also audio galaxys been shut down 2

Sam

Yeah, I got most of my bootleg stuff from Napster, up through some of the High tracks. I think the last songs I downloaded from Napster before it shut down was When Eye Lay my Hands on U and Underneath the Cream. Those were the days...

Of course, then I hoped onboard to Audiogalaxy for the past year and a half or so, and got tons more bootlegs from it. Now they are going away too.

I got a shit load of songs from Napster. Then I went to Morphus til they too got messed with, and now I'm on WinMX. It seems to be the best and easiest so far.

I was partly wrong. Bertelsmann Music Group wanted to buy out Napster at a very high price at one point (about $400 million if I remember correctly), but for some reason the deal fell through. Recently they've come to an agreement with BMG that allows Fanning and his co-founder (I can't remember his name) to continue the company. From what I understand they have the technology ready to continue file sharing, but they're still trying to come to an agreement with the major labels because it will be a subscription service once they get the go-ahead. So, although BMG hasn't bought them out for $400 (although it's still a partnership with BMG), Fanning & Co. can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Who didn't get all there Prince tracks from Napster i'm jus pissed that i din't get to keep the 1983 First Avenue and 1981 City Lights Performances those were out of sight.

But, i did manage to keep most of my tracks in the end as the files i had were huge and i had to delete some a majority of the files due the hard drive overload

i'm surprised in this day and age nobody burned these 2 cd.
y use up yr harddrive space?

Keeping 6 Gigs of mp3's on ur computer is not a smart thing to be doing...

As soon as I have enough mp3 boot albums to burn onto a CD I do it and clear up my computer space, as of now I have over 80+ CD's each containing about 5 or 6 albums each

I spent WAY TOO MUCH time collecting this shit to lose it in some dumbass computer fuckup.

Come on
Even Kodak Gold or Silver/Gold CD's
(Arguably the best storage CD) cost less than 50 cents each - How cheap can you be if you can't afford that ?
You can buy a pack of Kodak Silver/Golds for under US$25 anywhere


Well ...

oh my favourite boot song would probably be 'Work that fat'
Best boot album - hmmm - maybe 'I Am The Undertaker' or 'Live at the Rex 93'

It was sometimes fun trying to guess which of your "very rare" Prince downloads were fakes... Remember the supposed Prince/Kim Bassinger outtakes for example... (Mind you I still couldn't bring myself to delete them!!)
