G4Outcast writes "According to this CNN Money article, Napster will be offering pre-paid cards costing $14.85 at several retail locations. I guess the iTunes gift certificate and allowance idea is catching on."

How long will it be until we see Howie Long and Hulk Hogan singing a duet about an online music service?
"A dollar! Why, you can get a song up to 20 minutes long for just NINETY-NINE cents! Just dial 10-10-NAP-STER!"
*bangs head on desk*
...but shouldn't a gift certificate to steal things be free? :)

Napster will be offering the public a new, improved failed business plan.
To make a compilation, or to give as a gift to your bratty nephew because you don't know what kind of heroin induced crap he's listening to this week.
Take your pick.
Sorry could not resist.
You mean you don't enjoy the hidden software which installs itself and facilitates the targeting of advertisements at you while you browse the web? For me this not only alleviates the guilt of sharing files, but also helps me realise I really do need to order a tiny web cam sold by women in provocative clothing.
Back in the day, before Napster died, you would have to download 3 versions of the same song before you got one that was encoded well and/or a complete song. If you get 15 downloads, what happens when you get a bad mp3? What if its a live version instead of the studio version? If its still a music swapping service, all these are possibilities. I won't pay almost $1 for half a song.
