Napster Sells 5 Million Songs

mattmcal writes "CNet reports that Napster has already sold 5 million songs. The number is impressive despite lagging behind Apple which maintains a 56% market share according to SiliconValley.com. The integration with portable devices must play a key role in the download volume which Apple has also developed for the mini iPod."

    Sure, as long as you replay the song yourself with your own instruments, your 'analogy' kind of makes sense...

  3. My 3 standard questions by Salsaman · · Score: 0, Troll
    1) Can I download music in an open, DRM-free format ?

    2) Is there a good choice of popular and less well known music from the last 30 years or so ?

    3) Are the downloads CD quality or better ?

    If the answer to these 3 questions is yes, I will probably sign up.
