I don't know in a way Napster is better now than it was back then. People like to make a big deal out of Naspter and for it's time it was great but it was still lacking. I had real trouble finding albums from bands I would still consider mainstream. All I could ever find was single tracks of their popular singles. You might have to pay these days but for the 5 bucks a month service since you get 5 tracks you get to stream their entire catalog for free.

I agree. At the time though it was pretty amazing being able to punch in the name of a song and have it served to your PC rather quickly. More quickly if you were on DSL, which I adopted to as soon as it was available and took advantage of. From that point on I was pretty sure of where the future was going.

Also the thing was..... You pretty much couldn't pay even if you wanted too then.
