Broadband And Cell Phones Have Become Our Avenues To Constant Music
Through most of the last century can you imagine what would have happened to some poor guy who speculated that someday we would use the same instrument to call our business colleagues and play our favorite music. Yet, most new cell phones can do just that, especially the mobile phones carried by younger people.
Imagine trying to explain the Internet to someone as recently as the 1970’s. I tried…unsuccessfully. Even into the 1990s, our current Internet speeds with broadband connections would have seemed like a distant dream. Yet, today, most of us connect using broadband services. Streaming music to our desktops is no longer interrupted by frequent pauses to resupply the buffer of our memory.
Napster.com, started as a free trading music set, but it has transformed itself into the holder of the largest music catalog on the entire Internet–over seven million titles and still growing. It is still a terrific bargain, even though it is no longer free in the days when it was in hot water with the music industry. The site provides what is widely regarded as the greatest bargain for music fans with a three month introductory subscription, with renewals at the same low rates. I suspect you’ll renew, but the three months will give you a good taste of the service.
For a remarkably low price, you receive five download credits and special bonus download credits as a subscription bonus. Included in the plan is the reason that most people subscribe in the first place–unlimited (!) streaming music. You can listen to the entire catalogs of your favorite artists or, if you prefer, entire albums of a variety of artists. There are also over a thousand interactive, genre playlists. They even have a streaming radio station.
The music that you select to download as part of your subscription can be played on any MP3 device, including a number of lesser know brands plus the extremely popular Ipod and Zune players. In fact, if you cell phone has this option, you can even carry the music you’ve downloaded from Napster on that, as well.
You have unrestricted rights to these recordings, so you can move them around to different devices that you own. You can even use your software to create your own compact disc.
Any musical genre you can think of is well represented. If you are similar to me, you choose from a lot of different genres, but if your tastes are more specific, you will certainly find your favorite genre. Among those genres are rock, pop, classical, R&B, musical soundtracks, Christian, jazz, comedy, and the list goes on.
All of this is just $15 for the three months of delightful musical saturation at Napster.com. Where can you find that much pleasure at that price?
