Hi Kurt,

Napster has two plans that you pay for.  Napster Premium lets you download 
songs onto your computer, as well as listen to all the Napster radio 
stations and play lists.  In order to download the actual WMA files onto 
your machine, you need to make sure to set it in your tools menu.  If you 
have questions about specifics, I can look it up for you.  The Napster To Go 
plan costs two additional dollars a month and lets you put your songs onto 
certain compatible players.  I think there are some Creative players on that 
list, but am not sure if the Stone is one of them.  I think they want you to 
use Windows Media Player to sync your Zen Stone and download Napster tracks 
onto it.  When you cancel your subscription, your songs will no longer play. 
The only solution I know of is to use a DRM stripping program such as Sound 
Taxi.  This might or might not be illegal, technically speaking.  My guess 
is that it is, for what that's worth.  HTH.
Sue
