Napster trick I figured out, some might know it but I thought I would share.
If you search for a song and don't find it, disconnect from the server and
reconnect, then search again. Each time you log on you end up on a different
server, they have lots of servers but they are not connected to each other,
so if you search again you may find what you are looking for on that server.
