I am not convinced that Limewire will not have the music she is looking for. The longer you stay connected to Limewire before punching in your search, the more selection you have. The newer version of the software, unfortunately, I believe eliminated a very handy numeric monitor where you could watch your connections (and choices) grow by the TB. Try signing on to Limewire and waiting 5 minutes before entering your search. You should still be able to get even Bach and Beethoven. The selection is enormous at the right time. > From: Harry Jacobson-Beyer <harryjb at bellsouth.net> > Date: Mon, 09 Sep 2002 23:25:00 -0400 > To: Mark Beyer <btlguy at bellsouth.net> > Subject: FW: MacGroup: MAC Music > > More for you to contemplate > > ---------- > From: profile <profile at aye.net> > Reply-To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu > Date: Mon, 09 Sep 2002 22:09:45 -0500 > To: <macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu> > Subject: Re: MacGroup: MAC Music > > Jerry and all who so kindly respond quickly. > > When I go to many of the sites the ability to download depends on them > placing their program on my computer to get the files and I assume playing > them.
