Does anybody use it?  I did in the early days but it gave me and thousands of other users quite a nasty virus which AVG took ages to get rid of.  I erased the software from my computer and haven't used it since.

Lots and I mean lots of my friends in the UK use it - it really hit on with the uni students, like facebook it'll take over.

I use Spotify - the free version, and I'm quite happy for it to serve as many virus infected ads as it wants as long as it doesn't interrupt my music.

Debian and wine are a wonderful combination :)

Thanks Steve.  I really enjoyed using it when it first came out, listening to 60's music I hadn't heard...well, since the 60's.   ;D
