    be careful b/c i read there are some virus links when you click on a song because it redrects you to another page.  Also there are pop ups too.   Be very careful. 

    Hi Robin. THAT IS RIGHT !!! One of the GREAT things about Rocket was how SAFE it was !!! Not only is there NOT anything else out there like it YET, I am also leery of what little is available... I am waiting for the NEW ROCKET... Hope we do not have to wait long!!! (How HARD could it be to start our own) ???

    Hope we can keep this loop active till a safe and certified alternative is found.

    Hope also that the original mp3 rocket owners will ask for donations to get them out of trouble.

    OK, so there isa  royalty issue with stuff..... lets be fair, these are the consequences of "free", eventually it's gone because cash is king, thats the bottom line.  I would rather pay a yearly fee, and know it's safe and certified.

    Thanks MikaelaLarsen

    Further searches said same, some sort of money problem.

    It happens with free for life software / anything else for that matter, well, makes sense, "for life", till go bust.

    Hope there is an alternative soon, please post if there is, I am no "under the hood" IT expert, I am sure those who are will test the alternatives. 

    Cheers

    Ok Peter... (But we still do not know what happened... yet). :)

    mp3 rocket offers "free" software but they also offer subscriptions.. I enlisted with a "life-time" membership.. I have been very satisfied with the availability of titles and the support from mp3.. im sorry to see them go.. it's strange that there has been no news coverage of this "event"..

    Right, no notice or coverage is bizarre & "bad form", but I guess it makes sense that the attys advised they say nothing. Ugh,,, I was also a long term Lifetime Member. It was GREAT. We WILL have another site JUST AS GOOD soon. I know it. Stay in touch :)
