Starting on April 29th, consumers can sign up for a new music download subscription service started by Circuit City and Napster. The service, entitled "Circuit City + Napster" will give users access to Napster's unlimited content service as well as offer 99 cent single song downloads.
The service will work just like Napster does now (unlimited downloads for $15 a month) but now, just like its main competitor, iTunes, users can purchase prepaid cards for tracks in bundles of 15, 25 and 60 or purchase single tracks for 99 cents. These tracks are yours forever, unlike the Napster tracks which are no longer functional when you stop paying for the monthly subscription.
"Our goal with music and movies is to excite and inspire our customers to fully enjoy their portable and in-home electronics, and we're thrilled to enter this strategic relationship with Napster," said Irynne V. MacKay, Circuit City's senior vice president and general merchandise manager for entertainment. "Circuit City + Napster will offer our customers a new avenue to find, share and delight in music. Increasingly, consumers are turning to the digital environment for entertainment and this new service will give our customers easy access to the content they want, when and how they choose to enjoy it."
"We are delighted to create this new alliance with Circuit City which is one of the top destinations in the U.S. to learn about exciting, new digital entertainment products," said Chris Gorog, chairman & CEO of Napster. "Circuit City's strength both in consumer electronics and as a music retailer should be an ideal environment to introduce Napster's industry leading music subscription service."
