Online music retailer Napster unveiled prepaid cards on Monday, so people--particularly teens--could download songs without using credit cards. The $14.85 card, which will offer 15 downloads, is set to go on sale in mid-November at 14,000 retail outlets.

Should be interesting to see if this will fly or flop

its funny you can get a cracked version of napster

It's still $15 for 15 songs, just as bad as a fucking CD. I wouldn't pay more than $0.10 or $0.20 per song

ahh no charge backs, good idea. but no one is going to go for it, people are going to download music for free, and that is that

Well, you do get to choose which 15 songs you want. Instead of being forced to buy the whole CD just to get 1 good song when the rest suck donkey balls.

I agree. It's going to be hard for Napster to compete with Kazaa.

Of course you can crack it... There isn't a piece of commercial software out there thats not cracked or easily crackable...

Even the ones that use web authentication everytime you run them.

That's a good point and the "1 good song, 9 shitty filler songs" formula is one of the big problems when buying CDs. Still, $1 per song is too much, period.
