Digital Music Downloading is Finally Here... Sorta
March 27, 2002
Shift has an article about the two new "official" methods for downloading digital music. They also have a preview of the new subscription based Napster service which should open up any day now. In short, they blow. If you download a hundred songs then cancel your service, the songs will "deactivate" and become worthless. So if you subscribe, then you have to subscribe for life.
