    Well I bought a few songs from Napster. i bought The Jesus And Mary Chain and all the songs from that Albun sounded good. I then tried Def Lepperd from High And Dry and On Through The Night. Awsome I say. Then I tried Pixes and Echo And The Bunnymen and Big Audio Dynomite. It all sounded great and I was able to transfer them to my Nomad Jukebox 2 player NO PROBS. Sure they are DRMed but you can still put the files on your Jukebox that has a 20 GB Hard drive. The Jukebox can play Mp3's too so it goes very well with the rest of your collection. When I had a prob with the Napster prepaid Download card a gentleman was very nice over the phone and I talked about Music and adding more bands. These guys are very friendly and helpful and I feel this is the new wave for legal paid music. You can buy Trax pax if you have a credit card. 50 songs at $40. Now that is a deal. And even at $14.99 for 15 songs is OK. I bought 4 Napster cards and I still use p2p mind you. So I say try it you may even love it.

    Interesting, as this would be the Dixons who have just announced the closure of 130 of its high street stores in the UK!

    vudoo, you seem to be trying to promote the Napster ;)

    The deal does sound very irrestible, I mean $1 a song is pretty damn cheap, and I don't really care about the quality, as long as the artists that I love are getting paid. I mean I would rather pay $15 directly to an artist and then download their whole album off some P2P program.

    I'm not a guy that cares about albums and shit.
