How to Download Songs on Napster

Download songs from Napster

Napster is a popular file-sharing program created by Shawn Fanning. From 1999 to 2001, the popular program allowed users to easily share and download MP3 files without purchasing them, which led to accusations of copyright violations. The company has since become a legitimate music service offering downloads for fee.
