Napster launched a portable version of its digital music service in the U.S. and the U.K. on Thursday, hoping to tempt users with an "all-you-can-eat" monthly subscription model. Called Napster To Go, the company will charge users $14.95 in the U.S. and Â£14.95 ($29) in the U.K. per month, letting them download an unlimited number of songs onto compatible MP3 players as well as their PCs. Napster users can fill and refill compatible MP3 players with their choice of tracks, but must plug, or dock, the device into their PC at least once every 30 days into order for Napster to verify they are still paying customers. If a user stops paying their monthly subscription fee, the music will no longer play on the device. As with Apple's iTunes, Napster also offers users the option of buying individual tracks for $0.99 in the U.S. and Â£0.79 in the U.K. Napster is the first subscription music service to take advantage of new copy-protection software from Microsoft that allows users to listen to digital music over devices as well as on their PCs.ADVERTISEMENTWhite paper: Solutions to Address IT Control RequirementsLearn how BMC Software Solutions address requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 in this 20 page whitepaper!
