Editor's Verdict:

The site that started the music on-line revolution is back! Napster started out as a free, P2P file-sharing community offering free downloads, but then it was forced to shut-down. Now Napster is back, with legally-available, subscription-based music downloads. The user interface is polished and intuitive and is one of the most impressive interfaces of our recommended sites. When your compatible MP3 is connected, you can see its icon in the bottom right of the Napster user interface screen - to copy songs to your MP3 player you simply drag and drop them onto the icon - it's that easy! Download as much as you want and play it on your PC or a compatible MP3 player as long as you're still subscribed. Napster's tracks are encoded at 128Kbits/sec, so you can load about 83 hours' worth of music onto a 5GB player any one time.

Napster lets you listen to all the songs you like from all the major record labels as well as some Indy labels - then you can simply buy the ones you like. The content is vast and the site is easy to use. If you listen to a lot of different music then this service will practically pay for itself! Members can choose from over 50 commercial-free radio stations, create custom playlists to share with friends. Members can also enjoy Napster on your home stereo. It's Fast, Safe and Legal.
