Mac file/mp3 sharing .. ? ..

I'm addicted to music... but since I've gotten my beautiful iBook, I can no longer use my favorite file sharing program.. namely, soulseek...

any suggestions from other Mac users?
i'm not interested in anything that involves spyware or costs a substantial amount... (kazaa, limewire, etc)

?

thanks!
looks like there's just the Gnutella network for Mac, and different clients for that network =T
damn I wish SoulSeek was available for Mac...

any other suggestions?

the best solution is to go back to a pc
macs might be better at some things, but mac software is terrible because no one but apple wants to write anything for it (or Carmack/Doom3)

I have just recently switched to a Ibook as well and I had the same problem as you. I did find a program that works for me called Aquisition. It is writen for macs but can also run on a pc. I like the look and feel. It really does work like the mac OS. Also you might want to try Limewire. I was useing Limewire but the interface is a little clunky for me and I could never seem to find the right files I was looking for.

You really should step out of the dark ages, my man.
OS X is a Unix based operating system. This is no longer "Mac-centric" and more and more software is becoming available for Macs. With your attitude, (and mis-informed mindset), computing will not move in a postitive direrction for ANY users.

BTW: I use Limewire right now, for when I have such needs.

Acquisition seems to be pretty popular...
I'd hate to load multiple things on my computer =P but I guess I'll do that to see which one has more users with the music I'm looking for (IDM, experimental, psytrance, goa...)

anyone heard of DC++ ? and it's ability to run (or not) on Macs?

I use Windows XP for day-to-day work in the office. I have a 15" PowerBook G4 for mobile use. It connects to everything (Windows, UNIX, AppleTalk), runs PC software (using Virtural PC), runs X-Windows and UINX apps, and runs native (Aqua) OS X apps like Photoshop.

You can't go wrong with these new Macs. Aside from the price that is.

I am very pleased with Poisoned (thanks to whoever pointed it out in that thread).

I was annoyed with Aquasition's nagware, and the authors misuse of the GPL, so I switched to mlMac which worked quite well. But Poisoned seems nicer, still need to give it a good workout and let all my downloads in mlMac finish

I recommended poisoned... but my post is gone, or was that another thread?

Anyway, I have a ton of different things, everything except for iSwipe.

One great thing about Poisoned, if you check your CPU usage, you'll see programs like mlmac continue to use up CPU time (a ton of it) even after you quit out of the application. Poisened doesn't, and you can play intensive games like Warcraft III online without having to turn it off, assuming you have cable.

cuz this is the post I made
yours is on the 2nd or 3rd page now =P
yup.

dont' suppose anyone has any idea how I can get a 10.2 application (Poisoned) to work on my 10.1 OS ?
hmm... or anyone want to loan me $150 so I can upgrade?

mlMac using so many resources is not good.. though it also seems pretty popular, soo... sheit...

I should stop procrastinating and just start downloading...

You can get it for under $70 if you have ties with any educational institution.
