At work I occasionally do a “Mystery Track” contest, where I get an MP3, remove the track ID, and send it around. The first person to guess the artist wins a cheap-ass prize. I want to do one with a Christmas theme this week. What I’d REALLY like to do is a Christmas Carol by a rock band (like Joan Jett’s ‘Little Drummer Boy’), but maybe I’ll settle for a comedy Christmas track (like Bob and Doug McKenzie’s 12 days of Christmas, which I already have). Anybody know where I might find one? I tried [www.allmp3.com,](http://www.allmp3.com,) with no luck. Thanks! ---

Go to [http://www.napster.com](http://www.napster.com) and download their latest version. Mine is version 2.0 beta. You can search on the song title, artist, genre, and more. It searches the mp3 libraries of all of the other people who are also logged on, and then you can download their files. The least amount of songs I have ever seen on is aroud 500 gigabytes! ---

Sorry Rev, your little contest is not accessible to the deaf. Therefore I won’t answer, not that I could 🙂 ---

thanks hightech, I actually did dload Napster a few days ago, and I’ve found lots of stuff with I couldn’t find elsewhere. I haven’t searched on “Drummer” yet, though, and it’s failing to log in now for some reason. Did you hear about the lawsuit against Napster? Check it out: [http://cnn.com/1999/TECH/computing/12/09/napster.suit.idg/index.html](http://cnn.com/1999/TECH/computing/12/09/napster.suit.idg/index.html) Sorry handy. I guess it wouldn’t even work with close captioning either. One couldn’t tell from the lyrics that it’s Joan Jett, and not someone else. ---

Thanks Revtim, I have now spent 2 hours learking around Napster and looking for some good MP3’s to download. I think I better get to work now. 🙂 Eventhough I did waste 2 hours and not getting any work done, thanks for sharing the site anyway. Wasting too much time at work, Princess ---

For a limited time i have some vandals christmas mp3’s at [www.galaxy-7.net/nuke/xmas\_songs.htm](http://www.galaxy-7.net/nuke/xmas_songs.htm) ## Get em while they are there… and remember you need to delete them after 24 hours and buy the album! Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph. ---
