..but would be mainly used for the same purpose. until its developed so
that searching for the other types of files becomes very intuitive and
facilitated, then it has no other hope than to become a 'legal' MP3 server

I say legal because its designed to share files...not mp3 specifically,
whereas Napster was designed solely for MP3 distribution.

by intuitive, the search tool has to become advanced, so i can choose
"Picture file, classic", or "sound sample, humourous" and then get some tree
structure out of the result
