Source: advertisement in PC Magazine February 28, 2005. Check out Napster’s pitch! The only problem here is that not all portable devices work with the DRM, at least that’s what I found. For example, I tried to use Windows Media Player on my iPAQ Pocket PC and never could get the rented Napster tracks to work. So NapsterToGo should has an asterisk next to it. Still, it is quite a deal for those with the right portable device and who want to choose from a huge selection of music without going through the often laborious process of ripping a CD collection. Then there’s folks who don’t really care that much for a bunch of music like Webtalk Radio host, Rob Greenlee:

While the iPod device is a good and well designed audio player. Let’s not just pile on the iPod bandwagon … I feel that the iPod is an over priced device for the value inside and think that other hard drive devices are a better value. I think that the iPod hype and dominance is actually damaging the greater device market. I listen to music, videos and spoken word audio on my Dell Pocket PC device with a 1GB SD card.

It should be noted, however, that Mr. Greenlee isn’t exactly completely unbiased as his radio show is sponsored by Windows Media. He made some good points though, that apparently turned up a minor blaze from iPod fans.
