You may or may not be aware that Napster is now a Best Buy brand, has been for a while now, and we’ve been amping it up pretty thoroughly.  Not only does a subscription to Napster allow [deep breath]…access to a vast and ever-expanding selection of music, full-song streaming, ad-free genre “radio stations” and playlists, featured music, billboard charts, browser-based playback, custom playlists, Facebook integration, Automix which automatically plays songs by related artists, and digital downloads in file-formats that are playable on practically any portable device [gasp]… we now also have “an app for that.”  And by “that,” I mean Napster.

 

Straight from the good folks working with Napster...

 

With the launch of the Napster iPhone® application and new mobile access subscription plans, it's now easier than ever to play what you want, when you want, wherever you are. Simply visit the App Store on your iPhone® and install the Napster iPhone® application. When you launch the application for the first time, you will be prompted to upgrade if you're not already in a subscription plan that includes mobile access.


  • Enjoy Napster on your iPhone®, iPod Touch®, iPad® (coming soon for Android®)
  • Listen instantly to your choice of over 10 million songs - anytime, anywhere
  • No need to purchase, download, or sync your music
  • Save songs, albums, and playlists for when you're not connected

Here are some of the other benefits that come with the new Napster subscription offers:

  • Listen instantly on your computer, phone, and home audio system
  • Kick back with ad-free radio, playlists, automix, and more
  • Play Billboard® charts back to 1955
  • Access new releases and recommendations every week
  • Buy song downloads that play on any MP3 player, including iPod®

 

This new subscription plan will run you an extra $5 bringing it to $10/month OR $96 annually, which essentially is like paying $8/month.

 

For me, this is a big honkin’ deal.  I’ve got the 16GB iPhone 4 and don’t really have enough room to store all of the songs I want along with all the pictures, video, and apps I have.  So, to have the entire Napster selection ready to stream at the touch of a finger makes me feel like a kid with the candy store in his pocket.  Notice, also, that this is coming soon for Android® so we ain’t just whistlin’ dixie here; we mean business… well, more accurately, we mean entertainment.
