Podcasting with Napster Podcasting With Napster - Nice technical information, as well as a good argument for Napster and against iPod/iTunes. "Now some might protest that, in 5 ½ years I'm going to pay Napster $1000 anyway. Won't I, after 5 ½ years, be paying more for music than iTunes people? I'll spare you the whole time-value of money thing, but consider this - during this 5½ years I will have recycled my 1000 songs many times. I'm not married to the same 1000 tunes. I'm free to find out if Jazz is my thing, or country, or whatever." Exactly. Napster is about having an unlimited supply of new and old music that you can play whenever you'd like. Broadband Internet has taught us something: it's not about having the data, it's about knowing how to get the data.
