Napster has launched the worlds biggest online music store, after relaunching their site with a new per-track sales model. The store will sell DRM free music at around the same price as industry leading iTunes Music Store.

Until now Napster had focused on selling "all-you-can-eat" monthly streaming music subscription packages, but had struggled to win over the majority of fans wanting to be able to transfer songs they like on to a portable device such as the popular iPod.

The store is currently available to US users only. promoted forum item

Why would I use Napster instead of iTunes music store?

Because you wouldn't

JB ftw, they're so cheap anyways.

I think the big thing to distinguish them from itunes is the DRM Free part billy.

i've never used itunes, but afaik, you can only transfer a tune to so many devices, and they are passworded to boot.

Non-DRM high quality tracks are the same price as normal tracks in iTunes - there's just not as many but they are increasing.

If I had a steady income I would buy online much more often.
