Unfortunately, the client that exists today is still pretty much the prototype design.

There really was nothing like it at the time. We had good ideas for implementation, so we proceeded. I think it was an excellent solution to the reliability issues with existing search engines.

If you think about computer programming, it's as antisocial as it gets.

Nobody has ever built a reliable peer-to-peer service, where people can really access all the music they want in one location,... Once I got it into my head, I couldn't imagine the media space without one.

I think in terms of the work were doing now a lot of the UI cleanup... I see it getting much prettier.

Independent artists and labels have always been the trendsetters in music and the music business.

But I just really think there is a natural extension into other types of media because it's an excellent system for reliably locating and retrieving content.
