Feelings on Napster?


Hi, Since this is in part a forum about music, I'll put this statement and question on the table. In the past few months, I've begun to use Napster online. I'll look through the forum for reccomendations on good albums and tracks, then I'll download it on Napster, take a listen and, if I like it, purchase the album. My opinion is that Napster is really opening up accessibility to music for alot of people, allowing them to try new things that before they wouldn't have access to or simply wouldn't be prepared to invest in. It's helped expand my own horizons I know and I think it's good for music overall. Any opinions?

I see napster like a trial program. You get the general idea of the program but your distracted by banners, register windows, and limited funcionality. I use napster to download something im interested in, burn it, and listen to it for a while to see if I like it. If I like it I buy it because mp3s sound horible on and good system. They are by definition compressed music. I haven't bought a cd since the begining of napster before lisining to it first. Whenever a mp3 is played on a good system it's like listining to a register now window.
