Napster's DRM-Free Music Store Will Struggle

Competition is typically good. Unfortunately for consumers, Napster just seems, well, confusing to use. The different member packages (including the option of its slightly different MP3 store) leaves much to be desired. As a consumer, I'd like to learn (right away) what my options are in clear and concise fashion. Some will like Napster's model...but as the author said, "Napster's store will have a hard time luring customers away from other available options." True IMHO. iTunes is just easier, more convenient, at prices that are clear, and let's not forget, seamless with the ubiquitous iPod. As a consumer it's at the point where it's just too much an obvious decision to make...Buy an iPod, load iTunes, and enjoy!
