A friend sof my runs an ftp server that is only accessible to a closed email
list, but I frankly have yet to use it as Napster seems to do the trick
(even now!). What I do wish is for an easy way to do Napster queries. I
asked a friend for her mp3 playlist (we have similar tastes) and I have to
go through manually copying and pasting. It'd be cool if I understood the
napster interface (if it was like a search engine) then I could just write a
script to query the whole list and download the best match, if it times out,
the next best, etc.
I recommend:

(Don't know this one actually, but "People's Instinctive Travels" was
seminal.)

And will have to check out a bunch of the other ones myself.
