"Great offer in Q magazine this month"

The free CD you get with it can be used as a special key to get a month's free access to Napster, which may sound nothing special, but think about it - unlimited, free downloads for a month, no hassle, no issues about the legality of it, and believe me, napster has a HUUUGE database of songs, I thought I had a wide knowledge of music, but on Napster theres literally tens of thousands of artists I've never heard of, and obviously all the good ones I have heard of too.

You could, with a good internet connection, ideally get pretty much every album you've ever desired, free and legally. The magazine costs 3.80 and is a good read anyway, but with this deal it's worth it even if you'll throw the magazine itself.

There's probably terms and conditions - the usual small print legalities of something like only five songs, or if you sign up

Too good to be true

My mistake, sorry.

Yeah, Napster wouldn't include a burn function if they didn't want you to. Plus, they probably expect you to - you can't listen to napster in your car or on your stereo.

Hmmmmm, well you've paid for them so I'm sure once you've done that you can do what you like with them aslong as you don't let anyone else copy them.

Depends on the terms of agreement, but any reasonable person is going to say 'hey - you paid for them legally so they're yours and it's up to you to decide how you want to store them having paid for them'.

Downloading all the albums in the world WILL be legal. And burning cds of any kind isn't legal, but everyone everywhere does it.

Doesn't this make the first point kinda void?

You'll be a member for a month - on the lasdt day of your registration, burn all the songs youve got onto cd. Easy solution, lol.

I thought the mp3's downloaded from Napster have code that only allows you to copy the file so many times?

"Download an unlimited number of high quality music files to your PC. You can listen to these downloaded songs online or offline. Keep the music you downloaded for as long as you want to be a Member."

You need to be a member to listen to the songs.
