"are you kidding me. it's a trap!!!"
Pros: over a million songs to "rent"
Cons: once you end your subscription when something new and better comes out, and it will, its the nature of technology, you will lose all of the songs that you have on your mp3 device.
Summary: i got sucked in to this mess too. napster makes it very difficult to understand that you are just renting the songs and sooner or later they will have to be returned. for me, it is just not something i wouldn't like to do. i want to have my songs 5-10 years from now. lets say you have napster for ten years $14.95 x 120 (months)=$1794 AND ZERO SONGS ( when subscription is canceled). on i tunes, granted thats only 1794 songs, but it's your songs for life.

you guy's heard of tunebite? it costs $18 and then you can use it to keep all subscription tracks. you still need a subscription to download the music, but its your's to keep with tunebite. thats $5/mo (yahoo) for unlimited music compared to $1/song on itunes. no competition.

In Napster, you can buy songs on a song by song basis, but napster, just like iTunes, you will loose your music if the service ceases to exist, as no servers will be up to ratify any DRM transfers you may need to do, at least if napster goen down, you can switgh to a different subscripton service such as yahoo! or rhapsody. If iTunes goes down, you would either be ****** or have been smart enough to burn all your music to discs

I've been using napster for over a year now. you don't HAVE to buy the subscription service where you essentially rent songs. you can buy the songs too. that's what I do. I have a whole catalog of songs I bought from napster.

People would complain about anything. You don't like it because you are paying $12.95 per month to listen to the songs. I don't know about you, but if I had to buy every song I wanted to listen to on Napster I would pay a lot more than $12.95 per month. Stop whining and go to iTunes if you don't like Napster.

Don't you people have a brain cell still working in your head.
AS SOON AS YOU QUIT PAYING THE MONTHLY "FEE", ALL OF YOUR MONTHS/YEARS? OF SONGS GO, "Poof!"
You don't pay them one month, and your entire collection is gone. Gone!
Check the fine print before you sign onto this very bad idea.
