I just recieved the software and already like it more than Itunes. I can play my music in winamp now because its not m4p format. I like the napster layout more also. Prices also seem the be the same, 99 cents a song and $9.95 for most albums.
The probably most important thing is that i have found that Napster has Much more music to select from than Itunes does.
It seems to have all the features that Itunes does and if you pre-register you get 5 free tracks 🙂

As soon as there’s a good service like that available here, I’ll probably use it to get a few songs so I won’t have to buy entire ablums just for those songs. Until that time, many people are pretty much forced to swap songs.
October 30, 2003 at 2:05 am #53971Someguy03MemberI know, but its a topic all on Itunes. I just thought i would post one for napster so people notice it. And you say they are “forced” to swap songs. Users arent forced to swap songs, they are doing it illegally. You cant just download the songs of kazaa and then buy the ones you dont have off of Napster, musicmatch, or Itunes. Just wait, or find something like launch.com. You can listen to alot of music while seeing music videos wich play like a radio, its very nice. Thats what i did until Napster rolled around. Or, listen to the radio. There is alot of options, so please dont say they are being forced to steal off the internet. Even if you cant get specific songs, P2P sharing is still wrong.
October 30, 2003 at 10:02 am #53969FrutZleMemberI know what you mean, and I have to say I never used any kind of software to download MP3s, though I have “illegally” downloaded some MP3s to see if I wanted to get an entire CD just for a couple songs. Those MP3s have all been deleted once I decided on that.
My point is that people don’t want to buy a 12-song CD for just one or two songs. If there’s no legal option available they’ll either borrow someone’s CD and copy that (also illegal as you know), or download the songs from the internet. So basically unless you live somewhere where you can get songs legally, you have no legal options other than shelling out the money and ending up stuck with a dozen songs that you didn’t even want.Talking about illegal activities: record companies are trying with all their might to prevent copying of CDs. What ever happened to the right to make a copy of your CDs for personal use?Don’t mind this. It’d only take the topic off track 🙂 -
