I have to admit that I have been happily downloading and buying from one source and never really looked elsewhere. I was asked to trial Napster and I have to say firstly THANK YOU Napster and secondly "Why did I not do this ages ago?
Its so simple and easy to use. You just register and off you go, if you want no downloading widgets, gadgets or applications you just choose the Napster Web Service.
Alternatively you can stream, download, burn Cd's and manage all your music in one place.
I now have unlimited access to millions of tracks and free MP3s to build my own music library. Its rather like having all my CD collection at my fingertips and then if I have one artist I like, I can then access all their work.
Its definitely going to accompany my blogging for this month. I love it.
How much you are possibly asking, well its £5 and for that I have 5 free MP3 downloads, simple maths tells you that's worth it, then on top I have the access to all that music to listen to whenever I like.
In under 2 minutes I had registered, chosen to go via Napster Web Service, picked my first free song Ellie Goulding's Your Song for Conor, downloaded and was listening to it in iTunes.
Amazing, I was expecting it all to freeze up and it was so simple.
The only problem I had was when it downloaded, Napster had disappeared from my main screen so I had to reload it.
All in all I love it, not sure why I shied away so long, well i do, I didn't want the hassle of faffing about with a new application and sorry I did not do it sooner, its child's play and such a great value too.
I am leaving the Napster info below just in case I am not explaining it succinctly enough.
