Hi,
This is incorrect. You can easily listen online without downloading them.
Find a track, hit your context menu, and arrow down to play, and let Napster
do its thing.
All the best
Steve

Hi Brian,
As a napster subscriber for a while I can tell you about the differences
between napster to go and napster subscription. Napster to go is like
ITunes in that you can purchase tracks when you want at their cost, but a
subscription is like $12 per month and lets you download and listen online
to as many as you want as long as you maintain the subscription. If you let
it lapst or intentionally get rid of it in some way then you lose access to
all of your tunes you downloaded during the time you had the subscription.
It's kind of like renting tracks. There are some things I don't like about
the idea at all, but it was the best thing all things considered at the time
I first subscribed. The disadvantage to napster to go is that you can not
listen to the songs online to check them out first. I think you might be
able to listen to a small sample and not more than that. I'm not sure. Not
a big deal though of course. They do have a
7 day trial available.
