Napster is a search engine that allows you to find and download MP3 audio files. It eliminates the problems of conventional FTP transfers by using cutting-edge technology to ensure the completion of each MP3 download. When searching online for songs, you can specify the minimum server ping (response) times, as well as MP3 bitrates and frequency.

As Napster and the RIAA head back into court today, industry and legal analysts have no idea what the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will decide. Napster and RIAA lawyers will have 20 minutes each to present their arguments on why the stay of Judge Marilyn Patel's earlier decision to shutdown the service should be continued or removed. The Recording Industry Association of America wants Judge Patel's injunction against Napster reinstated because “this service is causing serious injury to songwriters.” Napster's lawyers say that the service is protected by previous legal decisions that Judge Patel ignored and that RIAA lawyers misrepresented. Once the two sides get to speak, the judges are expected to take about a month to make their decision.
