<div class="IPBDescription">...And Roxio's Lies</div> Okay...Is the cat really back?- Not even close.[Btw Roxio now owns Napster]

The day i opened my email and found a email from Napster I was sooo excited. I've been picked to beta test Napster 2.0! I got their download link and happily opened Napster!

I was so WOWED by the new Napster I was telling everyone "OMGZ)R NAPSTER OWNESSSS" Okay, maybe not really those words but something like that.

I tried Napster, I read their E-Zine, Listened to 30-sec clips. Then i found a thing Saying:
<b>*UNLIMITED DOWNLOADS!
*UNLIMITED STREAMING!
*ACCESS TO RADIO
*ACCESS TO MESSAGE BOARDS!
**Get Napster Premium Now!**
Only $9.95/month</b>

I was so happy because my last service, Rhapsody, offered the same and since Napster promised the largest music database in the world i went straight to my credit card! I was happily entering my information then i got the receipt page saying "Welcome to Napster Premium!"

I went jumping around the house cause "The cat is back!" I had access to all these songs...right?

After a week of Napster use I <u>really</u> hate Napster.
Remember the Unlimited Downloads/Steamings?
well thats a total lie.

Here are the facts about Napster Premium:
<b>*Downloads on only older songs/unpopulated songs</b> This way Napster can make you buy the new song for 99cents even though you already paid 10$
<b>*They only stream old songs - Sorry, New songs are only a 30 sec clip! Buy the song Now!</b> - After paying 10$ do you think I want to pay another 99cents for a song? I thought it said Unlimited Downloads/Streaming?
<b>*When you stream a song it plays at 80 KB/S</b> - CD Quality is 128KB/S so when you stream a song it sounds like its coming off a staticy radio.

So I can't tell you enough how Napster ripped me and many other p1ssed off customers - They offer message boards for Premium users and they are all flooded with mad customers.

<b>Dont get ripped off like I did! Boycot Napster! Dont waste your money.</b>

The Cat Is NOT Back.

    I think he meant that standard mp3 quality is 128 kbps.

    You actually tried it? You didn't see the commercials or check the site where it clearly states it sucks?

    i went to my old college and talked with one of the lab techs...

    "kazaa comes with viruses"
    "kazaa comes with spyware"
    "napster comes with spyware"
    "napster web address and acess IPs are restricted"
    "kazaa websites, and connection addresses are also locked from use"


    /me downloads Adaware, and checks for spyware, then deletes it all, then shows him...

    /me tuns on HIS computer, downloads Kazaa, installs it, connects and downloads the nice "you are an idiot" song for him...

    /me turns on adaware again, just to prove a point.


    some people live in a dark hole... i woulda done napster too, but after the kazaa incident', he kicked me off his computer... he didn't want those "illegal" programs on his computer....

    Erm... Kazaa does come with spyware, Delarosa. It's quite a well-known fact, that's why Kazaa Lite is a much better choice.

    I feel sorry for the morons who DL Kazaa thinking its the greatest thing ever. USE KAZAA LITE! OMG! DUH!


    Anyway, I kinda had a feeling the new Napster wouldn't be at all like the old one, I mean really, after all those lawsuits did you honestly think they would bring back the "real" napster?

    ...Kazaa itself yes, but due to it's uhh, lame version... i refer to the suped up hacked version K-Lite ++ as "Kazaa"


    and since this thread has progressed into talking about programs that allow you to download illegal items.... i am going to lock it...
