Now that's a good way to find out what everyone is using.

I would rather have Napster if it didn't have the filters but now I use WinMX.

Looks like WinMX is leading by quite a significant margin, as expected. It would be nice if we could get some more people to vote so we could really receive a broad view of what varying people are using.

Maybe they can put this poll on the front page like the regular ones...

I don't think this is worthy to be placed on the front page but thanks for the suggestion.

WildCatBoy recently held a firewall poll in the Security forum and it's now placed on the top of the page along with the rest of the links (To the right in red). I was thinking that maybe something similar could be done here. So, how about it Justin?

Wow! I had no idea so many MP3 sites existed. I gotta check out this forum more often.

BTW - cool poll!

Modesty.. modesty Its a fantastic poll!

Thumbs up! You've got my vote.

I think hotline is greatly underestimated, although its ranking is reasonable so far.

This poll needs more accessibility to everyone. It would be interesting to see how it turns out with many more votes.

Snapcase does it again!

Just an extra post to get this back at the top of the list.

I am curious to see where it goes. 87 votes is not really enough to be a valid poll.

Maybe a more catchy title Snapcase?

Keeping an eye on this..

i never heard of hotline until now. Can someone give me some pros and cons of it. I'm pretty much just a winmx/audiogalaxy user.

Maybe what we need is a moderator to come by and check this out. It really would be nice if this could be linked at the top of this forum along with the links already there for Shoutcast, the Winamp forums, and numerous MP3 utilities like the firewall poll is currently in the Security forum. That way, it would always be easily accessible and would receive more votes all the time and therefore, resulting in a accurate and through reference point.

You will find a ton of information on Hotline in these threads:

»Napster? Try Hotline
»HOTLINE
»How do you use Hotline???????

Sounds like a good idea.. the problem is getting a Moderator to stop by. That would be more along your capabilities than mine. I am not fully up together on all the qwerks on DSLR, so how to get a Moderator in here is beyond me..lol.

I suppose if it runs long enough.. and stays relatively high in the list.. a Moderator would stop by and might be generous enough to oblige you

Definitely needs the broader audience though. Keep maintaining it and we'll see what happens.

Another thing I was thinking about, was that you could inform the relative companies that have made the programs listed by you, that DSLR is running a survey on the most popular and highly regarded file sharing programs on the market. I am sure that they will be interested. I saw in the Hotline Website today the quote "Hotline is regarded as the next program to replace Napster"...lol

They havent seen this poll yet..

I am sure it will be good publicity for DSLR too.

Anyway.. just a few things to consider.

Doobs

P.S. Is there anyway to prevent multiple polling by the same person?

If you mean a way to stop one person from voting in the same poll, the polls here at DSLR are tracked by IP addresses. You are allotted one vote per poll.

I find it amazing that Napster is still getting a high vote... considering the fact that it takes a LONG time to track down a banned song.

It is still possible to find what you are looking for.. but you are relying on people changing their file names to avoid filtering. Even then.. it is hard.

Not only that.. there are so many files floating about with odd names because of it..lol. My hard drive is filled with strangely named MP3s.

I haven't downloaded music for quite a while. I'm just at a point where I don't know what to download. I still use Napster with Napigator. I haven't tried anything else. But if all else fails I will try WinMX like the other guys. Oh well we will see.:)

You need help with anything automotive you ask me. If I need help anything DSL or computers I'll ask you.
