Unlimited Downloads with 30-Day Free Trial - Is it Worth It?

[mattmns]

30 days free, unlimited downloads, and then 15$/mo after. Seems a bit questionable to me since they were just selling songs at 99 cents per, and albums at about 10$ per. Anyone tried this service yet? From what it looks like to me they seem to be teamed up with ms, which makes me a bit weary.

I just want to be able to download music to my harddrive, or burn it to a cd, and then convert it to mp3, or ogg, if it does not come in that format, and play it on my computer. Seems like it may come in wma format :uhh: I do have a computer with xp, so I am not worried about that; however, I will be playing the music on a linux machine, but I do not think this will be a problem, after I have downloaded the music and changed the format.

To those of you who may know, would I be able to do this easily? Also, are there any hidden fees or anything like that?

Also, I would be downloading early-mid 90s gangster rap, probably by the album, but I think most of the cds will be on there, and I can check before hand of course.

The new napster service is a rental service. Once you stop paying the $15 per month you lose all your songs.

I would stick with itunes or other methods

Ahh ok, that makes sense. I knew there had to be something like that. Thanks

So you don't get to keep the music dld-ed when it was free.You lose it once you don't pay...That's sadistic... :yuck: :grumpy:
