When I Well, I have been getting the same error using the console napster client for BSD (nap-0.9b from ports) it says "Error connecting socket". Now, I remembered, that this was last displayed when an upgrade was needed to the client. However, there was no new port available so I went straight to the author's home page only to find that it had an upgarde for Linux (1.1beta) but none for BSD. I downloaded it and installed it, and whooops: everything worked again. So I must assume that the folks at Napster did change the protocol again and so broke backward compatibility, but since they use closed-source sw, they did not tell anyone. And it also led me to conclude that the author of this particular client was somewhat Linux-centric beacuse he updated the Linux client twice already, but the BSD client remained unchanged. I must assume that other clients not officially supported by Napster (that is, all clients apart from the Windows platform) were hit by this, too. Of course, I could use the Linux client just fine, but it has a problem with our syscons somwhere, because it just works great on a Debian 2.1 box over here but on FreeBSD no matter what, it always does this: you enter a character and it automatically starts a new line below the current one. What you typed appears in the new line too. So if you type: /search, you will have 7 lines, with each one having one character more of your input. If you hit "Enter" and the screen gets repainted, everything goes back to normal but as soon as you type it hits again. This is very annoying because these lines can easily take up half of your screen and push the main window out of sight. (NB the same thing happens when I connect to the Linux box via ssh. If I use it via console, it works normally. So it is definately FreeBSD-related. Weird...) Just my observations...
