                          Frequently Asked Questions


	This file contains some questions which are asked frequently.  Please
peruse this file- you may find a simple answer to what seems to be a perplexing
question.

1) Why doesn't the main MP3Fury window show up when the program is started?

   By default, the main window isn't shown.  You can change this from the Preferences
dialog.  The reason for this is, MP3Fury installs itself in your Startup menu, and thus
will start when you first enter Windows.  People might not like to see the window when
they first start, each time.

2) My friend is online, and I open his computer, but I see nothing.  Why?

   For security reasons, MP3Fury shows only the shared folders and drives.  Therefore,
if there are no shared folders, there are no shared drives; nothing will appear in
the explore window.  You should make sure your friend is sharing directories.

3) How can I see what other people can see on my computer?

   You can open your own computer, over the Internet.  For the remote computer name,
type "localhost."  Localhost is another way of identifying your own machine; it's the
Internet machine identity.

4) Can people follow links from shared directories to non-shared ones?

   No.  We want to make sure that anything either visible or copyable must be shared
explicitly.

5) Should I keep MP3Fury running when I'm not using it?

   Yes.  Your friends may very well want to search or copy your shared files.  You want
to make sure they can use your computer, just as you would want to be able to use theirs.

6) Can I copy MP3Fury?

   Yes!  MP3Fury is a free beta product.  We encourage you to copy it.

7) Where can I find MP3Fury?

   The official MP3Fury web site is http://www.mp3fury.com.  You should check back there
for program information / updates.  MP3Fury also has a built-in version checking feature;
hit the globe "Update" button to check the Internet for a later version.

8) What is a beta product?

   Through its being a beta product, MP3Fury has the following attributes.  You can copy
MP3Fury as you wish, and we certainly encourage your copying it.  Also as a beta product,
MP3Fury is not without possible feature improvements or problems.  The beta period is the
way in which we test the product over a wide area, and gain insight from end users we
apply to subsequent versions.
   In concert with these, if you find any bugs in the program, you should report them
to MP3Fury.com.  We want this to be the best program it can be, and will fix all bugs
we possibly can.  Additionally, if there are any features you feel you need or want,
please report them as well.  We're happy to consider everything.

9) Why is MP3Fury free?

   First, it's a beta program.  It's not fair to charge for beta software; you're providing
a service by playing with it and reporting any problems.  Second, the revenue model of
Internet companies today is more complicated than simply selling software end users.
It's best for us to create a great piece of software and ensure its ubiquity through
distributing it for free.

10) How does security work on MP3Fury?  Can anyone see / copy my files?  What else
    can they do to my files?

    No one can see or copy any files you don't share explicitly.  You can see which
files are shared by looking at the Shared Directories window, or surfing your own
hard-drive in MP3Fury- shared directories are blue.  But every file in a shared directory,
and every file in child directories, is shared.  And anyone can see or copy those files.
    But no one can edit, delete, or run files on your computer; only read and copy.
So when you're sharing files through MP3Fury, just make sure you wouldn't mind if
people read or copy them.  Like MP3 files, or great programs like MP3Fury!

11) AwareNet does funny things, and I'm using StickyNote.  What's happening?

    StickyNote shipped with an earlier version of AwareNet, which is incompatible
with MP3Fury's version.  Tenebril will ship a newer version of StickyNote with
the new AwareNet soon.  For now, just turn off AwareNet from within StickyNote.

12) My question is not answered here.  Where can I go for help?

    Go to the official MP3Fury web site, http://www.mp3fury.com.  If your question is
not explicitly answered there, you can contact the development team directly.  Information
is available online.
