Napster Alternative That Is Child-Safe?

giambona · 07-19-2001, 02:58 PM

Does anyone know of a Napster alternative that is child-safe? My little sister is always downloading music but I'm a little concerned about her using one of the Gnutella progs b/c i've seen a lot of porn on there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

No file sharing program is child safe. Your best bet may be to get yourself one of those filtering programs for parental control. I don't know if any of them work on file sharing software, tho.

ha, maybe the reason you have seen a lot of porn on there is because you are looking for it? If you use Kazaa, you can select an option to only search for only audio files, which shouldn't bring back any porn... well, maybe...

I've tried Kazaa and I didn't really like it. Installed LimeWire earlier and found an option in there to block adult content, so maybe i'll just use that.

Oh, I didn't know that LimeWire had the feature. That program is very nice!

I have found WinMX better then Napster, but if you are looking for "child safe" you won't find it there.
