Vendor Description

"The Kazaa Media Desktop is a second-generation peer-to-peer file-sharing service with which you can search and download media files from other Kazaa users. You can also organize, view, and play your media files through an integrated media jukebox, publish your own work, reach an audience, and communicate with other Kazaa users. Kazaa supports audio, video, images, documents, and other file formats. It features recommendations and an automated feature that lets people communicate with contacts.

Version 2.1 offers a new Web interface with sections for audio files, computer games, software, video content, and Kreate; rights-managed files provided through Altnet are displayed as gold icons in the search results screen and will release more gold icons in response to demand from content creators and owners; new skins; and more preloaded playlists of Altnet rights-managed music files from new categories, including jazz, folk, punk rock, trip-hop, and world beat." - Sharman Networks
