Napster is an MP3 sharing community using a special client that features
things like chatting, searching, downloading, notify lists, etc. If you
want to read more about Napster in general, go to http://www.napster.com.
Here you can also download the official Windows version of the client.
Amster is an Open Source MUI based almost full-featured Napster client
for AmigaOS. It comes in three archives:
Amster-main.lha Main installation archive with executable,
documentation and scripts. This archive is required.
Amster-locale.lha Foreign language support. This archive is optional.
Amster-source.lha Full C source. This archive is optional.
Current features:
- Multithreaded downloads with priority and queue settings.
- File sharing (upload) with drag'n'drop support and more.
- Private messaging and multi-chatting (with channel list window).
- Advanced search with column list sorting.
- External MP3 player spawning; play the music while you download it!
- Navigator to connect to favourite servers (choose from list),
- Napigator support (server list fetching).
- Hotlist with online/offline notification and browse facility.
- Separate window for each task, and optional icon panel.
- ARexx port for scripting.
- Locale support - the world's first Napster client in 19 languages.
- Help bubbles and AmigaGuide® chapter lookup.
Changes since last Aminet release (0.8):
- Sharing works again now (Napster failed to deliver protocol
backwards compatibility).
- Column order in main listview is now saved.
- Updated copyright information and mailing list URL.
