Five Dollars for Napster
Since I have a lot of time on my hands due to the fact that I’m not working (email me if you have work), I have found a way to still spend my money even when I’m not making any. Napster was the very first music service I used. Yes, iTunes wasn’t even on my radar at the time. And now I’m back, well not exclusively.
Listening to GDGT a couple weeks ago I heard about Napster’s new subscription model. For only $5 a month you get 5 free mp3 songs and unlimited browser streaming of it’s seven million song library. For only $5 I find this to be an exceptional deal. You already get your money’s worth with the five songs, but the streaming is the cherry on top.
The streaming works in-browser, there is nothing to install, so you can access your whole streaming library on any computer. This is escpecially useful on my Hp Mini because I can have any amount of songs and not have to worry about hard drive space (which is lacking on the 16gb solid state drive).
Amazon MP3 is great for getting cheap, high quality songs. iTunes is great for iPod syncing and app store. Napster is fantastic when I don’t have either my computer or iPod near.
Now where is the Napster iPhone app?
