Snapster is the world's leading turtle-themed MP3 community. With Snapster you can search the hard drives of thousands of fellow music fans for the songs you love, chat about them, add your new friends to a Hot List, and watch a little green progress bar crawl across your screen like it has somewhere to be.

How does it work?
When you sign on, Snapster tells our server which MP3s are in your shared folder. When somebody searches, our server says "hey, that guy has it" and your two computers talk directly, like two kids with tin cans and a very long string.

Snapster 2.0 Beta 5 in action. Actual size may vary.

Features

• Search by artist and title, then narrow it down by line speed, bitrate, frequency and ping.
• Line speed dots: green means fast, yellow means okay, red means you should go make a sandwich.
• Chat in dozens of channels, from #Ska to #Y2K (which is still going, somehow).
• Hot List your favorite users and get notified when they sign on.
• Browse another user's entire collection. Judge them silently.
• Transfer window with real-time "Remote user cancelled" technology.

System requirements: Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0; Pentium 90 or better; 16 MB RAM (32 MB if you also want to run an MP3 player and a flying-toasters-style screensaver); a 28.8 modem or faster; and patience. Lots of patience.
