Some things cannot be deterred. Despite (or because of) recent legal backlash by grumbly artists toward shared-music-file server Napster (No. 4), the site's audience continued to climb with more than 140,000 new users. Actually, it was a happy week all over the music-site top 10, with most sites seeing a surge in their wave of surfers. Planet of Music (No. 3) got the biggest jump, with over 320,000 newbies buying downloads ranging from Sarah Vaughan to Sarah McLachlan.
