Napster Going Back to Free Downloads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the download-like-its-1999 dept.

conq writes "BusinessWeek reports on Napster's latest move to allow the download of free music. This time the service will be supported by online ads." From the article: "With Napster's new free service, 'we'll be able to help millions of people get out of the world of 30-second clips and of having to buy individual songs,' Gorog says. 'I don't think there's anything better we could do to turn people onto the pleasures of unlimited, legal access to music.'"

    I feel the same way about The Finder in Mac OS X. When Apple finally re-implement that pile of dung to make it work well enough that I won't want to open a Terminal, I probably won't even notice unless they rename it as part of the effort.
