I kinda got bored with Napster and downloading songs in general about the time I discovered the old Nappy forum. I still used Napster until it finally shut down mostly because I was spending a lot of time on the forum preaching my support. I took up Tankgirl's rally cry to improve the usability of the client and tried to support Napster as a company and a social gathering place, but they eventually cheated their user base. Bertlesman might think that Napster is still a household name and maybe it is, but I remember what Napster used to mean to people, and it isn't meaningful now.

Now I pretty much use WinMX because it's stable and it resembles Napster in the way it looks and acts. I didn't really like Gnutella when it first started out but if it's better now then it was then, I might use a Gnutella clone. I just use whatever's the fastest.
