Napster Flubs Major DRM-free Shot at iTunes
Napster is serving notice on iTunes... sort of. The music-pirate-turned-legal company has switched gears from being exclusively a legal subscription service to also including a "fully-stocked" music download store. The catch? All Napster's music is DRM-free and still priced at around $0.99/track or $9.99/album. It will also be compatible with Apple's popular iPods as well as all other MP3 players on the market. They feature 6 million tracks according to their marketing. The only question remains: how did they convince the big four labels to ditch DRM on all their music? Or is this all some sort of marketing stunt?

The catch isn't that the music is DRM free, but that the music labels don't want to play along. Sort of an awkward sentence there... (pardon my fragment)

So, Napster is trying to catch up with Emusic *and* Itunes. Fortunately for Emusic (Itunes is too tightly integrated with the Ipod to feel threatened anytime soon), Napster doesn't have its act together.
