Jackalope Audio
At Jackalope Audio Inc., we are writing a new chapter in Internet music distribution. By creating a secure, peer-to-peer file sharing network, Jackalope Audio gives users the ability to access thousands of their favorite MP3s, on-demand, without the copyright violations associated with current download based systems. The Jackalope technology also allows users to build MP3 playlists, research band biographies, purchase CDs, concert tickets, and band memorabilia, chat with other Jackalope users, and much more. Become a Jackalope Audio user today, and join the community that is leading Internet music distribution. Welcome to Generation Jackalope. Our Review: Jackalope Audio represents what could very well be the future of music and is the first application to actually take the term 'file-sharing' seriously. No more downloading tracks illegally, no more drawn-out court battles, simply listening to someone else's music - there ain't no harm in that. You see Jackalope Audio streams your MP3 collection to others users on the net and vice versa, and provided you have the required high-speed connection this system works a treat. Setup is a breeze and the IE-based interface lets yoursearch and play tracks, create playlists and bring up info on artists and albums with the click of a button. Admittedly Jackalope is in its infancy meaning the user base isn't huge and sometimes the connections were a little haphazard. These are only teething problems however and as the user base grows and bandwidth gets larger Jackalope will be a much more attractive option than the slow-and-illegal nature of file sharing and the can't-please-everyone nature of net radio. Superb.
