PayPal support added to Napster

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 25 Oct 2004 3:02 User comments (2)

PayPal support added to Napster Napster, once-P2P-now-legal-online-music-store, and PayPal announced today that they've made a deal that makes it possible for Napster's customers to pay for their monthly subscription fees and download fees via PayPal instead of traditional credit card.
PayPal is the one of the Net's largest payment handling companies, owned nowadays by eBay. Its popularity was partly sparked by the fact that direct account-to-account bank transactions weren't commonplace or free in United States when the dotcom boom started back in late 1990s and PayPal tapped to that need.

Napster will continue to support its other payment methods as well, which include credit and debit cards and pre-paid payment cards.
