I have not tried m.napster.com I agree that an iPhone client would be useful, although for me the streaming to squeezeboxen is the main focus for Napster. My offer of £10 still stands ;-) As for the opt out. I subscribe via a credit card. I subscribe to the "If i signed up online so I should be able to cancel the same way" school of thought. I was not aware that Napster made you call up to cancel. "Dear Naspter, How can I phone up to cancel if I am deaf and dumb?" I 'm almost certain that I emailed then to cancel my last subscription with no fuss. I think Spotify wil be dead in a year and Naspter might limp along for another year after that. The money in the music industry is to be made in touring, but that is a small % of total music sales. How can the record industry go from charging me £10 for Hendrix-Axis Bols As Love on Vinyl to £12 on CD to £5 to download to £5/8million (0.000006p) per month to listen to it. I believe that music will become low bandwidth fodder as a free addon to your ISP. The record companies will survive by getting us to buy digitally remastered, top notch, super duper, MP3 files of the Albums I have on record, tape, CD etc. for yet more money. I'll end up paying 4 times for the same record.
