Napster sidesteps credit cards

http://news.com.com/2100-1027_3-5097...l?tag=nefd_pop

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

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 :2 cents:

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... :2 cents:

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

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.
