before they blame piracy on poor sales, they really should listen to the crap these companies allow to be released.

So in other words ........ even using Napster you're going to be overcharged for listening to the C**P that the music industry thinks we want to listen to.

Sales of "Albums" are up however it aint the teenyboppers that are buying them its the 30-50 year olds converting their "LP's" to CD thats keeping the big music companies alive. You can get a number 1 in the UK charts by selling less than 100,000 singles ........ so what does that say.

Napster stop trying to be ligitimate and face reality.... not that many peeps are gonna want to use you!!

RANT OVER!!!
cheers

Um screw Napsters new service. I will never replace CDs with .mp3's and all that rubbish. I have great pride in my CD collection and it is just nice to have the hard copies around. I will never pay for downloaded music that I listen to once and then delete. I allways buy the album.

I also have a pretty expensive LP's which I think are awesome. I prize my Led Zeppelin I, II, III and IV albums with my life. There is just so much history in them and the sound is nicer, not clearer just nicer. They are usually better mixed and don't sound sort of lifeless in the way most CD's do these days. Undecided

Ah well I for on wont be even looking at this service Wink
