A specter is haunting the music business: the prospect of listeners getting the music they want directly from the Internet, free of charge. Right now, all it takes to make a recording executive nervous is the mention of MP3... Very true. Listening right now to a zip disk full of top 40 songs I downloaded for free. It's like being able to program your own radio station. I'm sure this will be unavailable at some point...but for now, turn your ftp search software loose and enjoy the era of FREE music.

Wow! I just tried an MP3 download of "One Week" a Bare Naked Ladies song. Awesome! First, you need to download Winamp from winamp.com Next, you need to find a good MP3 search engine. I like Kermit, which is among several listed at mp3now.com On kermit, select "clickable" links. With my T1 running, the downloads are wonderfully fast. And the sound is great! This is the future! It takes work now to find and effect the downloads. But I can see how you can make your own CDs. My son is already planning his. What happens when AMZN can download CDs direct, without shipping costs? Gary Korn
