Anyone use Napster?

I feel a little guilty about using Limewire for all my music, yet right now I can't really afford a dollar per song on iTunes. Has anyone here tried the Napster $9.95 a month thing? How's the song quality? Is there any problem adding the songs to your iTunes library?

That seems like a nice site, but the prices are so low it still feels like stealing...

However it is not you stealing. I ride on the don't ask don't tell. I don't care how they have their licensing setup. I paid for it and thats that. No sharing involved, so no getting busted. It's definitely a gray area, I will agree to that.

All I know is my alltunes was still working the last itme I used it. Suing a russian based website won't get the RIAA or anyone else too far. I guess I will need to check and make sure the program still works when I get home tonight. I haven't used it in probably 3 months.

Good point, I'll go with that logic...

Try a 900 baud on a Commodore64 connecting via Q-link(precursor to AOL) or dialing BBs directly.

or dialing BBs directly.

not sure what a BB is, but i kinda remember back in elementary school (around 1995), we had a computer where it would dial up a server, download a page, then disconnect... also took about 5 min to download like 1 page of text
