I recently read this article and thought it was pretty cool.

Napster on Tuesday open its MP3 download store in an effort to compete with Apple’s iTunes Store that dominates the Music Download Stores through out the Word Wide Web. Napster has launched there DRM-Free MP3 Download store which contains more than 6 million DRM-free download songs. Users can download these DRM-Free songs on to almost any MP3 Player even the iPod and iPhone.

Songs on Napster is still going to sell these songs at 99 cents a song but since its DRM-Free you can download them and copy them over and over. You can also uses these in videos and stuff. Its pretty much the same thing as Apple iTunes Plus store, but Apple is restricting the number of computers a user can have registered to play songs purchased from the iTunes Store, Many users complained about this, but Apple has not nothing about this yet.

Napster says it’s 6 Million DRM-Free song catalog features songs from all major labels, as well as thousands of Indies. Napster will still offer subscriptions to users who would rather pay the monthly fee.

Many Music Download Sites have been trying to tackle Apple’s dominance in the online music business, so Napster and Amazon have joins the list to try to take Apple. Amazon also recently Launched its MP3 store in September 2007.

Even so, Apple still manage to be the number one music retailer in the U.S. in April 2008, beating Wal-Mart, Is it because of Apples popularity?

Tell me what you think all about this.
