Comparable Services

Napster Mobile is essentially a trimmed-down, free version of Napster's paid service Napster To Go, which allows you to stream and download unlimited music to your phone or other device without having to pay per track. Instead, you pay a monthly fee for unlimited access. If you stop paying the fee, however, the rights to listen to the music you downloaded will expire.
