Just to add a sprinkle of irony to my cup full of DRM ***, Napster now
refuses to work - despite uninstalling, removing all entries from the

find what the problem is with some other ***'s DRM.
There is still a Napster?


Sure, I pay £9.99 a month and get to download and play as much music as I
want - as long as I keep the subscription up. I love it.


Completely OT but is there such a thing as a legal way of d-loading
tracks like Napster and I-Tunes but that *doesn't* d-load a bloated
player and intrusive software to your PC?

I use Virtual PC 2007 (free from MS) to run a virtual XP machine that I
have iTunes installed into. Of course, Virtual PC machines do take up a
bit of room but, I have other virtual machines all stored on their own
partition.
