AudioGalaxy Satellite or AG as it is known has completely un-napsterised, un-imeshed, un-bearshared and un-winmxed the concept and process of file-sharing or rather song-sharing.
All the above file sharing programs have an interface which gives you a control box type of approach. AG has a little different way of functioning and I dare say a better way of functioning. It has a small box which just shows you the files that are being transferred to and from your PC. All you have to do on connection to the Net is press the GO button. Be sure to open a new window or else your existing window obliges. You are directly taken to your account page. There is an easy search option from where you can search all your favorite artists and songs. Almost all songs can be found here. You can choose how many songs you want to download at a time. I think if you choose 3-5 it works out the best.
The most important PRO for this software is its un-obtrusiveness. It starts at startup, detects when you connect to the net and starts downloading your songs without you having to bother anything about it. I have already chosen around 40 songs to be downloaded. They are all in my waiting list. Whenever I connect to the net, little by little they are downloaded. In a span of 45 days I have been able to download at least 32 – 35 songs while almost as many are in the pipeline. All you have to do is keep on selecting the song. And believe me the transfer rates are the best. It is always resumable so no problems there.
It has a decentralized network so the existing laws will be unable to stop it’s functioning unlike Napster. Also there are no ads on this software. There is only a Visit Our Sponsors link on the main page. And really till now there isn’t a single English song that has turned no results. Almost all new and old Hindi Songs are there. There are very few obscure ones that you will be unable to find. At least all the popular and new ones are there.
You can search artist wise, add artists to your favorites and post your comments about your favorite songs. All and all I must conclude that good things come in small packages and this one is 884, 786 bytes only. The newest version 0.6305 has added a not much needed uninstall option. Only one hitch whenever a new version comes along you have to download and uninstall it. But none of your partial songs or in queue songs are affected by it. Go Download this one.
