New Legit Napster Service Coming

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the rising-from-the-ashes dept.

Serith submitted a CNN story talking about the new Napster Service. This is of course an attempt to legitimize music sharing. Provided the price point is fair and paying is convenient, I'll be first in line. Of course the odds of that happening seems awfully weak.

  1. insite? insits? by Gunzour · · Score: 3, Informative

    Someone please tell me, what is a "Napster Insite" (what the slashdot headline says) or a "Napster Insits" (what the slashdot summary says)? Neither "insite" or "insits" appear in the text of the CNN article.

    $0.99 per track. I think that's a bit steep unless they have some slick way of giving you album art and liner notes or other bonus materials.

    To me, the fact that the good songs on an album are no longer "tied" (by antitrust definition) to the filler more than makes up for that. This service is for people who want singles; this one is for people who want albums.
