You mean: he had two questions concerning the subject.

Indeed. I said that for using those programs it was irrelevant
to have a permanent connection to an ISP or using dial-up.

During the communication between the central server and
a client there is a persistent connection. Ok. Nice.
I never said that it was not. I only stated that one
does not have to let run those programs permanently,
let alone the computer, in order to use those programs
now and then. Please reread my posts for that.

Back in 2000, it was I think, I used Napster for some weekends.
I remember that Napster presented many clients that were not
'in the air' when trying to use them. But yes. Most people used
dial-up then.

I had fogotten the name Napster so looked in my first laptop
(pentium 100 Mhz). There it was. It would not connect ;-) but
there were mp3's. Now it plays Beethoven, Bob Marley, Leonard Cohen
and Mozart. Great! This newsgroup brings so much joy :-).

Hans.
