How To Listen On Napster for Free

Is it really true—can you really listen to songs on Napster for free? No, you are not dreaming, and you most definitely have not been magically transported back to the late 1990s. To the great pleasure of many music fans, Napster has recently announced that will be introducing a Napster Music for Free service that allows both new and subscribing users to listen to any song in their vast song catalog for free. How is this so, and are there any catches to this seemingly good deal? Here is everything you need to know about accessing Napster for free.

Here is how Napster's Music for Free program works. First, if you haven't already visited the Napster site or downloaded its software, you will have to do that before being able to listen to songs for free. Downloading the Napster software is free, fast, and safe. Once you have successfully downloaded the Napster software, you are ready to go. Here are the rules of the Napster Music for Free program: you can listen to any song in Napster's vast holdings of digital music files (over two million files and counting) for free, but you can only listen to each song for free up to three times. After your third listen, the Napster program will prompt you to either purchase the track or become a Napster member. As a subscribing Napster member, you can listen to as many songs as you want, as many times as you want, for $9.95 per month.

But if you merely want to get a taste of what Napster can offer you, the Napster Music for Free program is a good place to start. To sign up, simply click on the 'register' link that is located at the top of the main page. You will have to come up with a unique user name, a password, and be able to provide a working email address. Your unique password must contain at least six alphanumeric characters. Next, be sure to read and agree to the Napster Terms and Conditions. You will be asked whether you would like to receive periodic emails from Napster containing news about exclusive content and artist updates. Once you have made your choice, select the submit button. Once you have registered a user name, password, and provided a working email address, you should soon receive a confirmation email to let you know that your registration has been successful. Now you are ready to log on back onto the Napster site and listen to your free tracks!

You may be asking yourself: why should I subscribe to Napster, if I can listen to all of the songs in their music catalog for free? Remember that there is a limit for how many times you can listen to a song for free: after three times, you will no longer be able to access that song. When you become a Napster subscriber, you won't have to worry about time limits. Simply listen to all two million songs in the Napster catalog if you want, and you can listen to them for as many times as you wish. As a member, you don't have to worry about how many times you have listened to a song. Also, as a member you can download all of your favorite songs to your PC and listen to them whenever you want. That is, you don't have to be connected to the Internet to listen to them. Using the Napster Music for Free Program is a great way to get a taste of Napster without having to make an immediate commitment.
