The Napster to Go service allows you to purchase DRM protected songs from Napster and take them with you on your digital audio player - just like you can do with Apples iTunes.
“Until recently, music subscription services have been restricted in their ability to transfer songs they provide to portable players, while Apple has sold millions on the portable iPods by allowing users to buy songs from iTunes and store them on iPods. “
The Napster music service only costs $15 a month and gives you access to millions of songs from their catalog. Compared to iTunes pay-per-download model, the Napster subscription service sounds like a steal.
The new Napster service uses Microsoft technology named “Janus” to allow users to take music with them instead of only being able to keep it on their PC at home.
According to CNN, Napster will spend $30 million on a Super Bowl campaign comparing their service to Apple’s iTunes.
