Great posting Jack.I use Napster for the same thing,hard to find b-sides,live, acoustic versions and long gone songs.I also buy the cd's,like the Black Crowes Live w/ Jimmy Page.I could've gotten it off of Napster but I'd rather have the real thing.I think sales are up because of Napster and mp3's.As far as Metallica,don't like'em,never have and never will.Don't wanna waste time downloading their stuff even for free.Doesn't appeal to me at all.I love Napster for all the rare stuff you can get.Just my thoughts and doings.
