Wippit is a comprehensive MP3 search and retrieval tool. It allows you to search not only by artist and track title, but by album name, track number, year, and genre. Wippit is a distribution device using P2P protocols for legal and approved material and works to enrich the music industry, not denigrate it. Though Wippit has been developed around the now proven practice of decentralized P2P file transfers, where users share music with fellow users in closed communities, Wippit has pioneered a system of clearing house accounting that is more in keeping with PRS, ASCAP, or PPL methods. In short, Wippit is taking the newly established tradition of file swapping and adding in revenue streams that ensure that artists, writers, publishers, and copyright owners are fairly reimbursed.
