mp3 grouppie freeware edition

MP3 Grouppie is now FREE and available for download here.

Why spend time searching the web for MP3s when you could be downloading thousands of MP3s from your local news server? MP3 Grouppie makes it easy by sorting through the literally tens of thousands of articles and showing you what MP3 files are available.

Screen Shot With MP3 Grouppie you can listen to a preview before downloading a complete file, so you don't waste time getting new music you don't really like.

And since you're downloading from a computer located at your internet service provider, instead of some unknown computer halfway around the world, your downloads always occur at the fastest possible speed, and are unaffected by internet network traffic conditions.

Never used internet news? That's okay, because MP3 Grouppie makes it a snap. Just enter the name of your news server** and then select from the list of available MP3 related newsgroups. MP3 Grouppie will get a list of the articles in the newsgroup, then summarize and display the availability of the included MP3 files.

All you have to do is select the MP3s you wish to preview or download, and Go!

** If MP3 Grouppie's News Server Setup Wizard can't tell you what your news server name is, ask your internet service provider or sign up with Titan News for a professional news service.

If you want to sign up for a professional news service and really experience what MP3 Grouppie can offer, try Titan News. Their news servers carry 50,000 newsgroups and have 17 terabytes of data (that's more than you could ever download!) They offer 100% anonymous uploads and downloads and plans start at just $5.80 a month."

*** In order for MP3 Grouppie to support the new YEnc compression format you'll need to download and install one of the freeware YEnc proxy programs such as YProxy from Brawny Lads Software which is available here.
