Online music service Napster—now a subsidiary of Best Buy—has been struggling to find an audience in a market dominated by Apple’s iTunes along with music and streaming services offered by the likes of Real Networks, Pandora, and others. Now, in an effort to draw more listeners to its service—and more dollars to its corporate checkbook—Napster has unveiled a new $5 per month streaming music option, which includes all the streaming music a listener can handle, plus five DRM-free song downloads per month which are the user’s to keep forever, regardless of whether they keep paying for a subscription.
