Hi Dave,

I agree with you, and although I have only used Napster once or twice (and it was very recently), I agree that it is a great way to preview songs

Why on earth should we pay $19 for a crap album??? That's robbery!!

At least with the independent labels, you are ASSURED of a good product.

And yes, although Rubber is one of the worst albums I have ever heard, every harem Scarem cd I have in my posession I have BOUGHT.

Cheers

Vince

I use Napster as a way to preview songs without laying out the cash for a shitty cd which is overhyped.

On the other hand I also got a few Rafa martin mp3s but after hearing them quickly bought an original of this from Georg at AOR Heaven (Free plug). I am tired of spending my money on overhyped crap. If a cd is truly good, people will still buy the originals. I personally don;t care if 16yr olds trade Eminem mp3s and Eminem doesnt see any proceeds. Plus for the most part, there is nobody on Napster trading entire cds in our ....
