Most ISP like COX have a way to get into such as news.west.cox.net. Make sure that port 119 is not blocked which at most schools and workplaces is the case. Or you can down load an access program such as GigaNews and they have a free trial for a week or two if I remember correctly? I use a reader application named Usenet Explorer or you can use the one from GigaNews. Once that is done try looking into alt.binaries.music.mp3 to see what is there. Last time I looked there about 2 1/2 million entries with a lot of European groups and people you have never heard of? A reader program will look at the "header", like the subject line in an email and the mp3 file will be an attachment which can be downloaded and saved. The question of illegal copying generally comes up but Usenet was NOT put in the anti copy write law that 'ol Al Gore wrote up? Not that I would ever do anything illegal!!!!
