They are supporting Microsoft technology that may indeed be a way to beef up hardware sales for all non-iPod devices. Microsoft needs a program that would level the playing field. This may do it. And BTW, what about Siruis radio? They have a monthly fee and you neither have total control over your programming nor any flexibility in hardware choices. And when your subscription runs out, you are SOL too. The jury is still out on sattelite radio. The jury hasn't even begun their deliberations on "Napster To Go". Hopefully Napster gets a cut on the hardware end of things in this promotion. Indeed that's where the money is. I wouldn’t write Napster off too soon.

It drives me crazy that the mainstream media is buying into Napster's hooplah. We're really comparing apples and oranges (no pun intended) here. It's like purchasing a DVD through Amazon or borrowing it from NetFlix. Wake up Napster! When you're bankrupt all your cusomers are going to be scrambling to iTunes to replace their empty collection.

As a music fan, this is a perfect way to learn about new music. 30s clips on Amazon just don't cut it. I like to hear the full albums. For me it replaces going to a store and listening to a bunch of CDs there (and I think it's worth 10$ because I can do it on the side and don't need to spend time at a store). If a like a CD, I still buy it (the physical CD, I want the cover). This also means, that Napster-On-The-Go is not for me, I still want to own my music!
