Reviewed by: CNET Staff
With the a la carte online music store space becoming more crowded by the day, one-time bad boy Napster re-emerges as a label-endorsed gem. With a massive collection of tracks and some neat community features, this isn't the Napster you remember.The interface is clean, with large, easy-to-read buttons and tabs for searching different areas of the service. Browsing is extremely quick, with results showing up just moments after you initiate them. We liked the Charts feature, which lets you search Billboard charts all the way back to 1956, in addition to Napster's own charts. The jukebox works well, but seems limited in comparison to programs such as iTunes or MusicMatch, which have more mature features. Although Napster has several positives in its corner, there are more than a few quirks. For starters, Napster forces you to create a user ID and login just to browse music. There also is no support for the industry-leading iPod. Finally, we experienced random odd behavior from the application. Although Napster as a music service gets high marks for its extensive catalog and exclusive content, as an application it seems to still be finding its stride.

Version: Napster 3.0.3.7
"Beware the hook inside the worm!"
Pros: They got a load of music you can listen to and even download to hard drive or other devices at a fair monthly subscription.
Cons: Even if you just signed up for a 7 day free trial period they will charge your credit card as soon as you send in the info. And the program is basically spyware you just paid to use.
I for one hate any company or program that offers a free trial but turns around and charges you the minute you enter you personal info. To me that is just a scam...
