General Comments

Kazaa is ok if you're looking for a specific and popular song by a known artist. If you're plugging an artist's name in randomly to find stuff you don't have then good luck. Kazaa only returns a set number of items and will mostly provide duplicate albums held by loads of different people. It doesn't continue searching until you get a comprehensive list or hang about until someone logs on and then show you those items - which other, similar sites will do. I've also found it's slow and unwieldy to run, slowing everything on the computer down.

Basically, we don't use it at all anymore following an initial few week trial ages ago.

Plus, half the time, the files Kazaa does find are deliberately corrupted so if, for example, you're searching for, say, the one Suede track you don't own which is on their new Best Of to decide if it's worth buying the album on the basis of that one song; it's highly likely the song in question, although Kazaa finds it 20 times, is unplayable when downloaded from any of those people. Funnily enough, when you use a different piece of software, this does not happen. Song played, song good...album purchased (do you hear that BPI? Downloading can help your business!).

All in all, I wouldn't really recommend it. I'd direct you to other, faster, more efficient filesharing software instead.
