Title: Napster is free again
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on October 02, 2006, 01:32:08 PM: for a limited time. Seven days, to be exact.

However, I have a fast connection, and I can download a lot in seven days.

Of course, it's all wma format, but hey, free music legit. I can deal with that.

Let us know if you can still play the music after the free trial is up. I might test it myself, actually.
