RE: transfering music files
If you're using AIM, the other user will be using AIM or ICQ. Some IM services limit the number of simultaneous file transfers per user. As your contact has received _some_ of your files, I suspect that you are having issues because you were sending too many files at the same time, but I'm not sure whether this is the reason. Just try to resend all files that didn't arrive and look whether it works. You don't need to use a different protocol, but XMPP (also known as Jabber) is the best I know. However, Pidgin's implementation of XMPP/Jabber file transfers isn't complete (yet) which is why I still use to use other protocols for file transfer.

Do you support this? When I try to get a music file I see a window that says the title of the song, but always says, “Waiting to begin transfer” and it never transfers. Thanks for your great product.
