napster broken?
Suddenly today, napster software has stopped streaming music :/ It seems to fail when acquiring media usage rights, or rather it comes up with a message telling me that a newer version of the song is availible, and so to delete the WMA file from my HDD and download the new version...
.. er... its a streaming file.  Not on my HDD.Oddly, the "download" is greyed out in the software too, so I dont know whats going on. I seem to be able to use the napster in-browser version with no problems. hmmmm |

I do
 Although not often. Got a good deal for it with some free MP3s amongst other things when I bought my Dell laptop.

You can stream music via it and buy music too
So mixture of Spotify and iTunes really.

What I really really like about Spotify is I pay just £10/month and have unlimited access to and music on my iPhone, stereo, laptop, etc. It's ideal! The whole idea of just copying a link to a friend, who then clicks it and the track starts playing is great too - no more sending mp3s over a crappy upload speed

What I like about Napster is I had 60 free credits/MP3s with my laptop
Don't tend to buy/download music much so it does me fine

I can't be bothered checking really as it's unlikely i'd use either service, but do they stream from the same big record companies, or do they each have their own "catalogue"? Because i regularly offer spotify to my friends who have been trying to acquire music they like and failing usually resulting in malware etc... And i have to pick up the pieces (i particulary hate bareshare right now). Because between spotify and itunes it suites them well, otherwise i might mention napster next time (that sentence feels wrong after all these years
). Napster is iPod compatible too maybe?
