Napster service review

I tried this new Napster service, which works under Windows Media Player 10. It is pretty impressive, as I mentioned in my earlier post, because one can listen to large library of music for $10 a month.

Some critics. Altough I told the software to remember my password, it just happend to pop up login box in some strange situations. I really don't want to enter password every time I want to listen to a song. Also, navigation could be faster in some situations, but of course my computer (P3, 800MHz, 256MB) is not the fastest around these days.

I also did not like that it was too much US based, in its library (Billboard and internal activity TOP). But of course, currently it is used only in US.

One funny note. I decided not to start paying them because of these few problems. Strangely enough, I can still play the songs that I downloaded during trial period, though these were supposed to have kind of time limit related to subscription. Will see, maybe they simplified a system and check for update only end of each month? If not, then this Microsoft digital rights management system has some bug built in. In this case I should subscribe for one month and download myself a nice library of songs.
