Attention Mac Users
I’d like to draw your attention to our latest Mac-only addition, iSwipe. Besides the not-so-subtle name, it has many great features, and supports the Carracho, Hotline, Napster, OpenNapster and Gnutella networks.

It’s a few weeks ago that the last XoloX version came out. Meanwhile some gnutella servants provide metadata (e.g. Gnotella), it would be very helpfull if XoloX gets envolved – also some minor/major bugs need to be fixed. Give the Xolox developers a feedback if you appreciate their work: Vote here.
