Binary newsgroups better than WinMX for music? In what way exactly? Usenet
offers a pathetic range of material compared to WinMX. For people who want
the latest album from current bands, binary NGs might work well enough and
offer fast downloads. However, for anyone wanting older, deleted or rare
material, WinMX is unbeatable.
