Review of Pay Napster

An Anonymous Coward writes: "A beta tester for the recently released subscription version of Napster has anonymously posted his impressions of the new service. He finds it remarkably similar to the old one, both good '... browsing through a real person's music collection, sending them messages and recommending them new music' and bad '... broken tracks, cancelled transfers and a complete inability to stream or preview tracks.' The service allows 50 tracks a month, but there was little decent content to fill those slots. Messages to other beta testers found mixed reactions among fellow users. Still, the writer holds out some optimism for Napster's chances."

    I think all of five or six people wil use it. How can they think that anyone will want to pay for the service after it has been down for so long? I don't know who developed their business model but he/she should be shot. It must be someone from the music industry who is not tech savvy (illiterati).

    I use AudioGalaxy now and see no reason to switch back. My two cents.

  2. Quality of service by Britano · · Score: 2, Troll

    The options
    1. pay about $10/month for the chance to get 50 tracks, of which 25 actually came through.

    2. pay nothing and get a 90% or better rate on downloading tracks.

    I think I will take door number 2 please.

    I skullfucked King's dead corpse. Nice, bloody, and gruesome. His brain feld like a warm vagina- well, eventually a cold one.

    He would have wanted it that way.

  4. This is NEEDED tru NapsteR! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I want Napster to get a copy of my favorite song. It goes like this:

    my cunt is a'drippin',
    your lips are a'sippin',
    my ass is a'crappin',
    your mouth is a'lappin'

    all that comes out of an oracifce
    you eat for a main course-ifice
    poop and pee, all a'yummy
    Sitting proud inside your tummy!

      Perhaps you didn't catch the subject line.

    For pretty good quality (128 kbps) unlimited music downloads, try emusic.com

    They actually pay the artists, so you can do it without feeling bad, too.

    $15 a month for 3 months or $10 a month for a year.

    I love it, and they have a free trial. Give it a go. The more people that sign up the more artists will join, I'm willing to bet.
