I found a new napster client a few days ago, Lopster, and it is
fantastic, way better than Gnapster. I have two gigs of new MP3s
this week. :) Screen shot of its download panel in action:

I found the current release version (0.9.8) to be a little unstable
(would crash once in a while), so I downloaded and compiled the
current development version from CVS, and it's much better.

>    What is Lopster?
>
>    Well, Lopster is a Napster Client developed in C using the GTK user
>    interface. Napster is a protocol for sharing MP3 files between users.
>    With Napster, the files stay on the client machine, never passing
>    through the server. The server provides the ability to search for
>    particular files and initiate a direct transfer between the clients.
>    In addition, chat forums similar to IRC are available
>
>    For which Operating System is Lopster?
>
>    Lopster is developed on Linux and is mainly tested on a i586/Linux
>    machine with kernel 2.3.51 and GTK 1.2.8
>
>    It runs at least on the following platforms:
>      * Linux
>      * Solaris
>      * IRIX
>      * OpenBSD
>      * FreeBSD
>      * HP-UX
>      * AIX
