The Napster v2.0 online music store will start offering prepaid cards at retail outlets shortly after the service has been opened. Using the cards teenagers and other consumers, who don't have access to a credit card, purchase songs from the service.
The Napster Card will cost $14.85, and with one card the user can download 15 songs. By mid-November, the card will be available on 14,000 locations, such as Best Buy and Safeway. The Napster Card allows a huge new consumer base access to on-line music shopping. The youth/teenager market has so far been neglected by other services.
Roxio, who bought Napster's assets, will launch the Napster v2.0 service next Wednesday.
