The MP3 sharing program just sits in the background keeping a constantly updated database of who is connected to the network and what files they have chosen to share with the rest of the community. This database can then be searched by a single user for any particular song that he or she requires, then, once a suitable match is found the music file in question can be transferred straight from the computer that holds the file to the computer that requests the file. This is done completely free of charge while the chosen MP3 sharing program acts as an intermediary between the two computers conducting the transfer.
There are dozens of programs available for MP3 sharing, the most popular until recently was Napster. Unfortunately, due to countless court hearings against the program for breach of copyright this program has been forced to remove many of the MP3’s available to it’s users by means of a system designed to detect the transfer of copyrighted material. This has had the side effect of the exclusion of much un-copyrighted material from the service. It is still worth a look at however and is available free of charge from www.napster.com.
