Comment Napster = iTunes + a subscription plan (Score 1) 309
So, there's a vast misunderstanding throughout this thread. The dichotomy between napster and itunes is false. Napster has downloads just like iTunes, so you can buy tracks and use them under exactly the same rules as iTunes. However, IN ADDITION TO DOWNLOADS napster offers a subscription service that lets you download and stream all you can onto your computer. This is imo a great feature for exploring and discovering music prior to purchasing the right to burn or xfer to devices, but YMMV. So the idea that iTunes does somethign Napster doesn't is simply wrong.
