Napster Continues to Push Subscription Music to College Students
Monday, October 31st, 2005 at 2:00 PM - by Brad Cook
Napster campus representatives at Cornell University hosted a Napster Night on Monday to promote the free access to Napster To Go offered to the school's students. An article at the Cornell Daily Sun, which was linked to by MacDailyNews, noted that the Student Assembly will soon vote on using the student activities fee to fund the program again next year.
Daily Sun reporter Alex Lebowitz said that "students were inundated with free Napster t-shirts, stickers, ringtones, water bottles and hats" during Monday night's event. Access to Napster To Go is US$5 monthly per student, a price that would increase to $6 to $8 if the program is renewed, according to Napster campus rep Joseph Rudnick, who said that 10,000 Cornell students registered for it last year.
However, as Mr. Lebowitz pointed out in his article, Napster To Go isn't compatible with the iPod, which dominates the MP3 player industry. On the flip side, he said, "60 dollars a year for unlimited music downloads is unmatched by any other program. For example, using iTunes, a customer would only be able to download 60 songs in a year to match the price of Napster."
