THE RETURN OF FREE NAPSTER
After the death of the file sharing program, the Napster brand was revived for an online music web site. There’s been speculation that it was struggling to survive in a world dominated by Apple’s iTunes.
Napster’s newest promotion is pretty enticing. It now allows free streaming of virtually all the music in its two million song library, using an ad-supported player. Any song can be played up to five times; another play would then require purchasing the song or signing up for one of Napster’s subscription services.
My experience today is good – streaming began instantly, the periodic ads only lasted five seconds, sound quality was good, and an entire album could be played with a single click on the play button. Try it!
