It’s always when you stop looking for something that it eventually turns up. So was the case with my search for the perfect music filesharing program. I’d hunted, on and off, for weeks only to find the solutions I came across plagued with one problem or another.
So I stopped looking.
Then yesterday I was reading some web sites talking about some compatibility problems resulting from Windows Vista’s increased security. I saw the magic name: ‘Ares Vista: filesharing’. This was billed as filesharing software that played nicely with Windows Vista (one of the problems I’d encountered with the other software). I thought I’d give it a go, not holding out much hope.
And boy, what a find. Ares Vista really does play nicely with Windows Vista (there was zero configuration required). The benefits don’t end there, though: Ares Vista is great looking, very quick (both to start up and to find and download my music) and it’s really, really solid. I have not had it crash on me yet.
This is well presented, well put together software that really hits the magic spot. I have absolutely no problem in recommending Ares Vista to all my friends. Well worth a go, even if you’re not running Windows Vista.
