In truth, I have been using Napster with SB for around 8 months. I have had some rebuffering problems, but that was with mainly with my SliMP3 and a Mains ethernet kit, so not too concerned. Actually some of the posts on the Napster boards are very critical, but for £5, I think their expectations are too high - It's less than minimum wage! FFS, if you were on the dole, you might even sign up!
FOr £60 a year including 60 downloaded DRM free tracks, plus the ability to stream to any/all your squeezeboxen - then I would not be too concerned about how good the Customer Service Dept are. In fact for that price, I would expect them to be farmed out to the cheapest place that Napster can put them. Actually I'm surprised that someone like Virgin have not bought them out, or tried to replicate - "Take out our superfast 50MB broadband and stream any 8m tracks for free!" The way this streaming media will pan out is that we will go back to paying per MB of usage. If people think that they can use BBC iPlayer all day or downlad movies from Apple TV, without eventually having to 'pay the ferryman' will be in for a shock! To get back to you original question... I though it was a good enough service to pay £10 a year for, so I am very happy that I can get the same service for £5. In fact, local.bin, PM me your address and I will send you a crisp BoE £10 note and you can have a free 2 months - I'll just pretend that they have not reduced the price until December! Am I the only Squeezebox owner who thinks that £5 to stream any of 8m tracks to your player is a no-brainer? -- mmca22gr --------------------------------------------------- SBS 7.4 WHS, 1*SliMP3, 1*SB2, 1*SBC, 1*DUET, 1*BOOM --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mmca22gr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=474 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69272
