Date sent: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 12:17:42 -0500 Forwarded by: debian-user@lists.debian.org i must confess I just managed to get my sound card to work. I was wondering how to subscribe to napsterI am guessing because of the legal case against napster that one can not subscribe? I notice that newsgroups have a lot of files... any advice on how to find interesting sounds/music etc. I wasn't aware that they weren't accepting new accounts and/or users. Some days ago a friend of mine had the same problem, not being able to subscribe to napster. I just gave him my username and password and surprisingly we both could use napster at the same time, with the same username. But it does make sense, because the only thing that seems to matter is the ip adress. Anyway, it's surprising for me, that they don't check for already used usernames. But I won't complain. ;) Christian

So, you and your friend may have been logged into seperate servers. Could you see each other ?? Probably not, huh ? Hall

Of course there are many servers (never mind how much), but I just didn't take into account that they are not synchronized.

What happens the first time you run gnapster ?? It should ask for your username and password. You may have to check the console tab for messages. Also, unlike the real napster, gnapster allows you to change your name/password much easier. In the preferences menu, under one of the tabs, there's a checkbox for New account. Hall
