It lets consumers move an unlimited amount of songs from Napster's million-plus catalogue to MP3 compliant devices for one monthly fee of USD14.95." Full Story Full Story 2 Napster 2 Go

Ten years from now who is going to continue paying to rent WMAs, when by then the bandwidth and storage available in portable devices will make online purchases of full CD quality albums a reality for the average Joe? -------------------- "Have you ever been with a woman?
