Thoughts on Napster and their free trial
A while back I got something in my email about the free 7 day trial of Napster To Go.
The email said you could try out Napster To Go for 7 days at no cost. During this trial you could download tunes and transfer them to your mp3 player. And if you did not decide to keep the account after your trial then the music would be yours to keep.
I thought that sounded like a pretty decent way to get some free tunes and signed up.
I downloaded a ton of music. I transferred it all to my mp3 player. I canceled before the free trial turned into a paid monthly membership.
Guess what - the music on my computer won’t play unless I have a valid Napster To Go membership - or I can pay $0.99 per song to buy them. So, that makes me wonder if when I sync my mp3 player to my computer to charge it if it will disable those songs too?
What a bummer.
Ah well, this just reiterates the whole “nothing in life is free” saying. So, if you sign up for the free trial - just remember, while you can keep the songs on your computer that you downloaded, you cannot listen to them after the trial period. And you can only burn them to a CD if you pay.
