Title: Napster
Post by: _That_Cracka_J on March 14, 2005, 07:38:38 PM
Does anybody use it?  I heard it's like $20 a month and you can download as much as you want.  I was just wondering if it would be worth doing for a month or two to get some rare and hard to find albums I need.

Between Ares, mIRC, SoulSeek and the "Hookup Spot" you should find everything you need.

make sure to read the fine print with those mutha fuckas.....its a subscription service with napster its acctually 9.99 a month for napster subscription service and napster to go is 14.99 a month and that lets you download files and put them on MP3 players (Excluding iPod) but if you ever stop paying that 14.99 a month its over you really have nothing......so if you paid 15 bucks a month for a year that would be $180 bucks and if you stopped paying for it after that you would really have nothing left.....stick to itunes if you are thinking of purchasing music online.....yeah you pay 99cents a song but you own the track so you can have it as long as youd like and use even after you stopped using itunes.....anyways to each his own just stating the facts here.

Thats not true...cuz you can just download all the songs you want, and just save them on your MP3 player, they cant get into your Mp3 player to block them
Then u save them to your Comp. Harddrive.....It works, trust me, they are dumb...my cousin is currently doing this...i think there are even websites devoted to like swappin Napster files and stuff

^ Not (exactly) true.  Yes, you get the files on your MP3 player.  But behind the scenes, the tracks "call home" and check for an active (paid) membership.  If they can't connect, the files die.  If they connect and don't find an active membership, they die.  With Napster, you are RENTING music.  If you pay for a year and you stop, you have nothing.  The files will no longer work.  And you can't burn them to a CD... if you want to burn, you have to pay .99 cents a track just like iTunes.  Read the fine print.
