Mp3 Rocket
History
The MP3 Rocket software project was started in November 2005 by MP3 Rocket Inc.. MP3 Rocket was created when LimeWire’s distributor considered placing “blocking” code, which it was developing in response to RIAA pressure and the threat of legal action, in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. The Limewire blocking code, if eventually activated, could block its users from sharing licensed files. MP3 Rocket was first released in December 2005.
Summary
Written in the Java programming language, MP3 Rocket is able to run on any computer with Java Virtual Machine installed. Installers are provided for Microsoft Windows and is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Vista.
Mp3 Rocket now features its “3 Ways To Get Stuff” which is to download via the Gnutella network, via the BitTorrent network or to watch/listen content on videos or live streams.

Features
MP3 Rocket offers the sharing of its library through Digital Audio Access Protocol. As such, when MP3 Rocket is running and configured to allow it, any files shared will be detectable on the local network by DAAP-enabled devices (e.g. iTunes).
You can browse the most Gnutella popular downloads, publish a rating of personal favorites, able to preview files while downloading. Users can submit and share TV channels, radio stations and online games. There is currently over 3000 channels which are updated frequently.
You can also browse the most popular torrents and search for torrents with the integrated search engine. Mp3 Rocket allows unlimited torrents to be downloaded at one time, unlike Limewire which limits to only 3.
From version 5.3.1 Mp3 Rocket started to provide protection for inadvertent file sharing of a user’s sensitive information. MP3 Rocket will by default not share files with .doc, .pdf, .txt or .rtf extensions.
