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!

(InfoWorld) - Napster will launch its first mobile download service for Europe in Ireland later this month on TelefÃ³nica's O2 Ireland network. Customers will have access to Napster Mobile's catalog of 3 million songs, ring tones, and artist images. Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, which isÂ hosting and managing the serviceÂ for O2, will provide other content. The service will be available initially to O2 Ireland customers with handsets using NTT DoCoMo's I-mode mobile internet service. By January, WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) and Java-enabled handsets will also be able to use the service. By February, songs purchased on Napster Mobile will be sent to a user's PC as well as their handset, the companies said. Napster does not currently have a PC download service in Ireland. The Napster Mobile application will be shipped with some I-mode handsets by O2. The application includes features such as a recommendation engine, which can pick other songs that a user may like based on their past picks, plus abilities to search, browse and preview content. Last month, Napster agreed with TMN Portugal to launch Napster Mobile for its 5 million subscribers, but no timetable was given for the start of the service. Other European countries are expected to follow.
