Buy Napster on AT&T

Napster on AT&T.jpgAT&T's been quite active lately, from lightening up their ironclad cell phone contract policies to getting the exclusive on that thing you've probably heard of that Apple just announced they sold almost 1.4 million of.

File this one under the what-took-you-so-long category. Starting mid-November, non-iPhone AT&T subscribers--yes, there are some--will be able to purchase songs from Napster over the air. Tunes will cost $1.99 each, or you can buy a bundle of five songs for $7.49 (Sprint sells songs for just 99 cents. I'm just saying…)

Still, this is a vast improvement over the previous option, which involved subscribing to Napster, then transferring music over from your PC to your phone, which kinda defeated the purpose of that whole wireless connectivity thing. AT&T also offers music purchases via eMusic, but the ability to buy from Napster is more appealing to those of us who aren't cool enough to keep up on the indie scene.
