What Are The Benefits of Subscribing to Napster?

Remember the good old days when you could get all the free music downloads you wanted from Napster—for free? Well, those glory days are long gone, but the new, some would say improved, and 100 percent legit and legal Napster is here, and it is here to stay. If you were a fan of the old Napster and don't think the new Napster could ever impress you, consider giving it a try. Or if you are new to the world of digital music services, perhaps you are wondering what service you should use. You have probably noticed that there are a lot of music sites on the web today that are ready and willing to take your money in exchange for your favorite tunes. So why should you go with Napster? Here is a brief overview of the basic benefits of becoming a subscribing Napster member.

First, here is what you get when you become a Napster subscribing member. For just $12.95 a month, Napster subscribers get unlimited access to over two million (and counting) songs that are a part of the impressive Napster digital music library. As a subscribing Napster member, you can also listen to an unlimited number of songs while you are connected to the Internet. You can also download all the songs you want from Napster's impressive library of high quality music files. You can keep downloading all the songs you want from the Napster digital music library for as long as you remain a subscribing Napster member.

What does this mean exactly? Some people have described this as "renting" the Napster music. That is because you can't actually download any of the songs you listen to. But you do have unlimited access to listen to all the songs in the Napster digital music library for as long as you want, as long as your subscription with Napster remains active. However, as a Napster member, you always have the option of buying any of the songs you want and keep them forever on your computer. Of course, you can also burn the songs you purchase onto a CD, or transfer them to a compatible MP3 player. You will have to pay for the songs you download in addition to your monthly service fee. But as a Napster member, you can pay a reduced rate when you make multiple purchases with Napster Track Packs.

When you are a subscribing Napster member, you can also access your Napster subscription on up to three different PCs with the same user name and password. What other benefits can you expect as a Napster member? You also have access to over 50 Napster completely commercial-free and interactive radio stations. You can manage your radio stations as much as you want. You can skip forward, skip back, or look through all the songs that are playing on the station, and then downloading your favorites. Napster also lets all of its members create their very own personalized radio stations. You can choose what songs will play on your radio station, or you can let your radio station play freely.

What other benefits can you expect as a subscribing Napster member? You have access to all of the Napster features, such as its user-friendly search engines that allow you to search the Napster catalog by artist, song, album or member. Napster also creates fun personalized music recommendations for each member. Moreover, as a Napster member you are always alert to all the latest releases.
