Napster

Pros: Access to only the music you want.
Cons: Some may feel it is cheating singers out of their fair share of cash.

Have you ever heard a song on the radio and wished you could get the full version, only to never hear it in time to grab your tape player and start recording? Or how about when you buy a CD, lose it, and feel like you shouldn't have to pay for it twice?...

Pros: Wonderfull supply of mp3s, cool people
Cons: can't control anything....

Hola, I am a regular user of Napster, and while I love it, there are a lot of things that need to be addressed, pros and cons of this little service. However, if Lars Ulrich gets his way, Napster will be a thing of the past, like black and white TVs,...

Pros: Thousands and Thousands of songs at your fingertips
Cons: Could be shut down

Being an avid music listener and mp3 downloader, I use Napster to find music almost every day. It's software is simple- users download the Napster program and sign up, and they are connected to its network. All users logged in share their files, so...

Pros: free music, easy search and download, extras
Cons: nothing lately expect possible loss of napster

When I heard about Napster I was a bit skeptical but not because of it's free music and the record labels fight. It was because I really wasn't sure how to use it or if I could really find music I wanted or needed. I mean really I have about all of the...

Pros: Easy To Use - It's Free - You can find songs that are hard to find on CD
Cons: It can sometimes take a long time to download files

I just started using Napster a few days ago, and I love it. I will assume most of the readers already know that Napster is a service that allows users to exchange .mp3 files for free. The main point of this review is to let others know how easy it is...

Pros: ease of use, innovative idea, 'try before you buy'
Cons: impending injunction makes some titles and artists unavailable

As hard as it may be for people to accept this, I actually use Napster to 'try before I buy' - in other words, I still go out and buy the CD after I've heard the songs on Napster. For example, I downloaded two Anthony Warlow songs from Napster, and then...

Pros: Free, find rare versions of song you can't find anywhere else
Cons: Can crash frequently, sometimes down

This is not another review on the praises of Napster nor is it about banning it or the features of Napster. Using Napster is basically a personal choice, albeit an ethical, moral choice. Whether or not one choices to use it does not and should not...

Pros: Very easy to use, Lots of choices
Cons: Connections time outs, Users not configured to allow the download

So far my experience with Napster for the most part has been pretty pleasant.

In case anyone has not heard of Napster yet and what they are about, well let me see if I can explain it to the best of my experience so far.

Basically,...

Pros: Any song you can think of is probably on there.
Cons: What's the cons with free music?

Ok, besides them whining Metallica guys, who doesn't like free music. Anything you could possibly think of that can be put into an Mp3 is probably on there. There are hundreds of thousands of members so theres a pretty good chance that one of them has...

Pros: Find any MP3!!!
Cons: i got banned months ago.......heh...

I got napster about a year ago before any of the controversy. I loved the damn thing, it was great. Every day I would come home from school and get on napster, set some MP3s to download, and go out somewhere. I even had napster running all...

Pros: Allows for access to otherwise inaccessible old songs, and better familial involvement and supervision
Cons: Soon to be G-O-N-E

Okay,
I know that Napster has many both for and against it, but here are the reasons that I like it.

I have an elderly friend that has memories of her father singing a song to her as a child. He died when she was 13 and it is one of the...

Pros: FREE MUSIC, easy to use, always able to find songs,
Cons: Transfer errors, those people that lie about their bandwith,

A few years ago, I remember having to trudge out to the nearest store, shell out 18 bucks for a cd, trudge all the way back, and not liking half the songs. Now, with Napster, I am able to get all the songs I want for free. No more trudging, no more...

Pros: Can Download Your Favorite Songs
Cons: May Be Shut Down:(

I'm just going to express my personal opinions here, not a bio on the company.....
I think Napster is wonderful.....There are so many songs that I have not been able to find in stores that I can download from their software. I even went out and...

Pros: It has every band, artist and song under the sun, it's free, and the sound is rich and clear.
Cons: Downloads take forever, and sometimes Napster won't let you connect.

I have to admit, it took me quite a while to find out for myself what all the hype was about when it came to Napster... now, I wonder why I waited so long! I am addicted! Nowhere else have I been able to find the songs from my favorite bands, right there...

Pros: Ease of use, search capabilities, number of songs
Cons: Unfinished songs

Napster is the utility of the century for any music enthusiast, young and old. Like a search engine, you enter the text that you'd like to search for, and click search. Within seconds, it'll return a list of several songs (MP3's) that match your...
