Description from Musiclab, LLC“BearShare - a peer-to-peer file sharing program that not only allows you to download the latest music and video but you can connect with friends and make new ones who are into the same artists. The users can easily access other profiles, pictures and their music libraries. The download process is quite easy all you have to do is click here and within a few minutes you will have access to a whopping 20 million songs and videos! You can easily download out the latest Pop, Rock, Rap/Hip Hop, and Alternative hits currently being played on video music channels and radio, but the extensive library of songs takes you a trip down memory lane. BearShare has one of the best collections of retro music in various genres. In fact the BearShare program is compatible with Apple iPod and other MP3 devices as well. BearShare has become a Limewire alternative since its shut-down and Limewire users can import music library and continue sharing music, videos and more.

A common notion about peer-to-peer programs is the risk involved in file sharing due to viruses, which is why BearShare has gone to great lengths to ensure the application is well protected against any viruses and only allows video and music file formats to be shared.
