The Napster Card: DId you know you can buy Napster gift cards at Best Buy? It’s a gift certificate for the online service that the recipient can use to pay for music. Brilliant.
I just bought a Napster Gift Card and I honestly rate them maybe a 1/5 stars. It doesn't actually buy any music, it only allows you to download and use their music. You still have to pay the 99 cents per song to put them on CDs and /or Mp3s. But, that's just my opinion.
My daughter's mp3 player doesn't allow her to use the "napster to go" so she has to pay the 99 cents / song. There is a Napster Gift card that gives you 60 downloads for $49.99 - so it is a savings. It works great and she was very happy to download to her 60-song limit. GREAT XMAS IDEA FOR THE MUSIC ENTHUSIAST!
did you know that Best Buy, Target, and Giant no longer carry Napster gift cards? Why? I don't know, but if you find out, please let me know
VERY UNHAPPY with the Napster Gift card experience.
It seems like a great idea. I wanted to get Napster gift cards for Christmas. Napster doesn't offer them for sale online and I couldn't find them at ANY of the following retailers they list on their website: Rite Aid, 7-11, Target, Kmart, Staples, Giant and BestBuy.
It wasn't that these locations were out of stock. All of them said they no longer carried them and/or the clerks claimed to NEVER have carried them. The Those same locations were more than enthusiastic about the i-tunes gift cards.
I use a PC. I've tried i-tunes but despite claiming to be compatible i-tunes has never been functional with my PC. Everything form hang-ups to partial downloads to weird error messages. Stuff that I've never had with Napster.
I feel used by both companies, Napster for being so UN-customer friendly and Apple for a ridiculously overpriced monopoly in digital music equipment and music access.
Napster has shot itself in the foot. It requires you to register before you can use a gift card but won't let you complete the registration process without providing your credit card information. One of the greatest potential virtues of a gift card is that it allows you to honestly purchase music without having to hand out your credit card number to yet another on-line company.
Napster needs to make it possible for someone with a gift card but no credit card (like my son) to register and use their services -- something i-Tunes has already done.
I argee with Brittany 100%
Where can you get a Napster Giftcard then?
Seriously.. Stop wasting money on buying tracks .. Its extremely simple just download the drm protected songs and then simply remove the DRM using Tunebite :D
