Hail Audiogalaxy! I like Napster's gumption but sadly I do not think they'll ever really recover from this blow...

Yeah, I agree.
It'll be a bit more annoying trying to find rarer mp3's...meaning probably back to the days of internet message boards...*shudder*...but for most, Audiogalaxy or Bearshare'll do.
