  Strengths: Great search engine; always finds what I'm looking for. Very little rubbish and fake files. Most users have complete album collections, and the bit rate is typically high; usually over 192, and commonly VBR.

  Weaknesses: Sometimes the program hangs, and sometimes I get randomly bumped to the end of an uploader's queue. Occasionaly I have to "babysit" my downloads and hit "retry" over and over again for each track. Not very many program realeases; I'd like to see this program evolve faster.

  Overall Evaluation: I have used this program for over two years now, and have never gone back to any other music sharing service. Although the program is not particularly pretty, it is quite functional (aside from a few glitches now and then). The search returns results quite fast, and will continue to return results until you tell it to stop. If you don't get results right away, add a search term to your "wish list" and the program will automatically search for you full time. Overall, this is a great program and, because one can download an entire folder (read: album) at a time, it really lends itself to people with well organized music collections.
