Talking of mp3 libraries, I might mention that by far the best file-sharing community for non-commercial, experimental, and avant-garde music that I have found is Soulseek: http://www.slsknet.org However, this is a Windows client only. There is a version for Linux users, called Nicotine, which accesses the Soulseek community's shared files: http://nicotine.thegraveyard.org It looks as if it needs a certain amount of compiling savvy to install and run, and I would be very interested to know whether anyone has attempted this. I should emphasise that each file-sharing community has its own distinct profile in terms of the type of music that its members like and share, and this is what makes the Soulseek community so special and valuable to me, so this is not just a question of file-sharing technology in general; it is a question of accessing that specific community's shared files.
