CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on December 22, 2009
Clickster offers users a free and fast way to track down MP3s. While its results were a little scattered, the program lives up to its billing by finding free and legal songs online.
Clickster's interface is easy to navigate, though it took a few practice runs to decipher all the odd-looking command icons. Regardless, after a couple minutes we felt intimately familiar with this program's operations. Clickster operates similarly to other software that searches for MP3s, such as the infamous Napster. You merely need to enter a song title or an artist to begin your search. This is simple enough, but unfortunately, the results it yielded were the low point of the program. The song lists were skimpy, since the program only searches for songs on free sites like MySpace. For example, when we searched for "Jingle Bells," a song recorded hundreds if not thousands of times, it only found seven results. However, these songs played clearly enough. Furthermore, we were highly impressed with Clickster's ability to save songs to our hard drive as regular MP3s, which any player can handle. This program's best feature is a direct link to download songs on MySpace, which is much appreciated since the site traditionally only allows listening, not downloading. Overall, this program could have offered better song results, but it still found free music.
Clickster is freeware. It leaves behind Start Menu items after uninstalling. Despite some rough patches, this is still a reasonably good MP3 finder, and we recommend it.
Publisher's description
From Remlap Software :Providing a real and legal alternative to P2P software, Clickster easily finds and downloads MP3 files from the Internet and not other P2P networks like Limewire and Bearshare. Tracks can easily be previewed/played without any need to download the track first. Clickster also incorporates MySpace Music and ShoutCast Radio Ripping, for even more MP3s.

Version: Clickster 1.63.4.2
Pros: Usually a good program, new version is bad!
Cons: Something isn't right with this newest version of Clickster, it times out after a very short search time, was getting very few or no search hits. I wouldn't recommend this version, they need to do some serious tweaking on it or something.

Version: Clickster 1.63.4.2
"Works for only one selection"
Pros: Wonderful size of library
Cons: The search and play function works very well for the first selection. Afterward, nothing can be found without re-starting the application.
Summary: All that 's needed is the ability to make sequential searches.
