Re: Napster
I just checked out Napster with two groups that I thought I might not find (The Blenders and Cadence) -- they're there! I'm impressed!
Is everything that is available via search available as a downloadable MP3 track?

Yeah, their library is surprisingly complete. There has been little I've been unable able to find in their library -- even what I would consider to be somewhat obscure stuff like short orchestral / choir scores like The Immediate - Trailerhead disc. (scores written to be used in movie trailers, awesome for making videos)
When I was in Vegas last year I was given tickets to Cirque Du Soleil Mystere, and even the live CD from that show was up for download on Napster.

The only minor frustration is that some songs are only streamable as 30 second clips due to record label shenanigans, but all those tracks remain purchasable either for $0.99/ea or one of the track credits.
The only gotcha with the $5 plan is your 5 downloads expire every month if you don't use them. For that reason I signed up with the 12 month plan, you get 70 download credits (60 standard + 10 bonus) and you get a year to burn through them. |
